Allegiant 2/24/15 *Spoilers*

Prompt: What challenges do the characters face in the book?
Pages Read: 365-426

     The characters in the book have faced a big conflict. After finding out that their city was just a experiment, they also found out that it's on the brink of being abandoned and called a failure. The Bureau don't want to abandon their longest experiment and decide to reset everyone's memories. Leaving Tris and the other Allegiant distressed since they don't want their friends and family to have no memory of each other or their past life.

     A challenge Four faces is trying to tell Zeke that Uriah died. It's hard to do because Four participated in the event that put Uriah in the coma which caused his death. More pressure was added because he had told Zeke he would look after Uriah. Four is having trouble getting over the guilt, which is another challenge.

     Tris and the gang decided that they were going to wipe the Bureau's memories in an attempt to save Chicago. Whilst trying to come up with a plan they find out the backup security is the death serum. No one can resist it, a safe suit might buy you a few minutes but not a lot of time. They decide someone needs to sacrifice themselves in order to obtain the memory-wiping serum. Caleb, Tris' brother, decides he will, and Tris feels weird about the whole situation. She's not sure if she wants Caleb to think the only way to repay his debt was to sacrifice himself. They have some little bonding moments which isn't the best for her when he's about to sacrifice himself.

  1. Make sure you just don't give summaries of the book! You can pick a challenge and then briefly describe instead of going into full detail.

  2. I have never actually read any of the Divergent books, but they sound interesting. I liked how you described different conflicts the different characters. I think that Four has the biggest problems out of all of them. Having that guilt on his back. Overall, great blog.

  3. Great blog. You did a good job describing the problems that the characters faced. I like how you focus on the emotional problems that the character faces at the end.
