So far in the book a lot has happened but i'm going to tell you from the point i left off. So they were walking for a very long time and then all of a sudden tris feels the tracks vibrating. she stops and feels them with her hand and then feels it again she then turns and sees the train cart behind them. So they started to run so they would be able to ride on it. Once they got in it they saw something weird. It was full of factionless. So when they realized that their was company they didn't know what to do. They told they had to leave or they would be shot. Then Tobias told them his name and they said they were able to stay. After this they went to place and called a lady named Theresa which then we found out it was his mother. Then they were talking about his past but i wont tell spoilers.
Tobias is a very tough person. I know this because in the book he is never scared and he protects tris all the time. He never cries and he keeps his self from having any sad feelings. I feel like he does this so people don't think as him as someone weak.

Jesse Owens
So i have been reading a biography on Jesse Owens and it is very interesting. It has talked about how his parents being sharecroppers and how they had to share a farm with whites because they were poor people. When he was born he wasn't healthy he had sicknesses and people weren't sure if he was going to survive. He had boils which his parents didn't have money to pay to remove or to get rid of them. His mom had to do them herself. She would have to get knife and cut them off. In the book it states that he didn't know if he should cry because he had gone through this so many times and it didn't help to cry.
I think Jesse was a very strong person because he didn't let anything stop him from pursuing his dreams. I know this because in the Olympics which was in Berlin people were criticizing him for being black and saying that he wasn't going to win and that he was going to cheat. Hitler didn't give him a hand shake which offended him but he kept running. This is a very admirable act because if it was me i would have given up. People thought he was nothing compared to the white runners but he beat them all. This shows that he pursued his dreams.

It is time for Insurgent
I started to read insurgent and it has been good. The beginning started right where it finished which was great because I hate when books start randomly in a different place. So they stopped in the faction of Amity which is great since they are really peaceful. Once they stopped their Marcus had told them where to go since he has been their before. Which I wondered why but, that isn't important. Johanna, Amity's spoke person, had told them that they could stay their if they agreed to have no weapons in which they had a agreed partially. When tris was going to take out her last gun tobias grabbed her arm and put it back where it was. She then put the weapon under the bed she would be sleeping on. The next day they were deciding if they should let them stay and Amity had let them stay. But Tobias had decided that they should leave in a few days. Tris than said that she didn't like the bread because she felt that it wasn't right which was true because it had a peace serum which is used to make the people calm. It was used on her because when she was going into her "room" Peter was sitting their on her bed she told to leave but he demanded to know why she had the hard drive. She than checked where she left it and it wasn't their peter had grabbed it. She than told him to give it to her put he told her that he wasn't going to give it to her. They got into a fight and tobias and a few Amity came in their to break the fight. they took her to a room and injected her with this weird serum which made her laugh and happy. After the serum was out of her they asked Johanna what it was and she said it was a serum to make people peaceful. She than told them that if they didn't want to be touched by their serum to not eat the bread. The next day Erudite had gone into to Amity and asked if they were able to look for the people which where Tobias, Tris, Caleb, Peter, and some of the Abnegation. They than ran for their lives and people where hurt and some died and they escaped and that is all that has happened.
So far the conflict in this book has been between Erudite and the abnegation. In the book divergent it talks about how Erudite was trying to kill all of Abnegation. This is showing that their has been conflict between them. In Insurgent it is the same Erudite was trying to get tris and tobias because they helped abnegation get away. I hope that Erudite stops and that they catch Jeanie.

I finished Divergent
I finished Divergent and once I have a chance to read Insurgent I will. I totally loved this book i thought I wouldn't like it because it would be a copy of all those other books but it clearly isn't. Tris has overcome so many things that came in her way and she jumps over them like their nothing. I ended up being right about the whole abnegation divergent Dauntless thing. I hoped that nothing what end up like this but it was a good ending. I feel bad because her ___ and ___ ended up dying and She has ended up with no _______. I really liked the ending because it didn't start another topic or anything it just finished. I feel like finishing this series is going to be sad for me I never like finishing a series I want them to keep going because i just love those books.I just want to start this next book it seems good and I love reading.
I feel like the theme of this book is sort of like pursue want you go for. In the beginning of the book tris was thinking that she wouldn't survive initiation or even make to dauntless but she worked hard and was very tough. I know this because in the book it states that she would tell herself that she had to make it and that she would show every body else that she was going to make it that she wasn't as weak as they thought she was. I this can be a very inspiring kind of them because it shows that no matter what background you can be come a very talented person or become very skilled in what you do.

Are they something?
I have been reading this book for about three weeks and I have been saying oh its getting good, Oh My god this is so good, but now I just can't put it down. Al had killed himself by pushing himself off the ledge and he died. Then Tris had felt like she was responsible but didn't cry or anything. I feel like Dauntless has made her a mean person. She doesn't care for others and she is over gotten meaner. In the book it talks about how she should have said sorry but she said that she never wanted to see Al again because she hated him. Next Tris and Four have been flirting and been very close to kissing and they aren't doing anything. But now they have finally made it official. Tris called him her boyfriend and he agreed to it and they keep making out and they have been like this for like three days.
The subject of Divergents an Abnegation and Erudite is still coming up and it been like this again and again. I wonder if this is going to turn out to become a huge problem i hope it doesn't. Four found out that The Dauntless have been planning some kind of war and I think it is leading to this. Well I have to read to find out so bye.

Almost done through Intiation
Okay I am loving this book so much. I thought it would be like a copy of the hunger games but it actually isn't. When Christina was thrown off the ledge i thought she wouldn't make it. But she held on and didn't let go. This shows that she is very confident and that she can go through obstacles. Okay i've read so much that i can of forgotten what happened after that. Ok so when she had to fight peter I thought that she would win and that she would be able to fight him but it turns out that she wasn't so good. Peter had totally beaten her and she would have to done something to stay on the top ten list. Any way Tris was all alone in the room were they all slept and she went to go take a shower or change something like that and she see's that Peter, Molly, and Drew are their. she bends down to get a dress that Christina tells her to get and when she stands up she sees that Peter is right behind her. When she gets up peter covers her way from leaving. She tries to get away but he pulls her towel off her and they start to make fun of her. After her revenge on them they didn't mess with her like that anymore. And then one day they decide to try to get rid of her. they sort of made this plan and they made Al help them. They tried to push her off the ledge but, four came to help. A day later or so Al comes to tell her sorry but she doesn't care.
During the book she has changed so much. She started off as caring and weak person. In the beginning of the book she doesn't talk to others and doesn't speak her mind. But once she enters the Dauntless she becomes a strong and doesn't care what others think about her. In the book she says that inside of her their was once the girl that was weak but now Dauntless made her strong. I am really enjoying this book and I can't wait to read the others.

Are you Divergent?
I am starting to read the Book Divergent and the trilogy. Ever since the book became famous I told myself i would never read the book it is going to be a wannabe Hunger Games but look I'm reading it. The book starts off as Tris (Beatrice) getting a haircut and her talking about the factions and why she isn't able to look in the mirror. I get it you look in the mirror to see your self and the is being non-selfless but really you do this to see if their is something in your face or if their is something wrong with you. Anyway; she starts to talk about school and how if they transfer factions the faction is responsible for their education. All the factions go to the schools, which in the movie they don't say anything about their education. I think I would be terrified about choosing what faction to go into. Yeah i know the test narrows it down, but leaving you faction for another yeesh. I wonder how other trainings are like the dauntless they do fighting and stuff like that but what does Amity do.
I think that Tris is really confident about herself. In the book one of the characters tells her that she wont make it and she would end up faction less and in her head she tells herself that she is going to show everybody that it doesn't matter what faction you come from. In the beginning she says i wont make it, but she then starts to believe a little and says ill make it ill make it I'm going to show everybody wrong.
