How the different characters react to the main conflict in the novel

I am currently just passed chapter 18 in Allegiant. Now that they have discovered what is outside the fence, Tris and Tobias are reacting differently and worrying about different things to the same problem.


Tris is more worried about the fact that they have been being watched for their entire lives. People have been observing each and every action that has occurred within the city and it has all been documented as an experiment. I think that she is more bugged by the people watching not intervening when innocent people in the city were being killed.


Tobias was bugged more by the fact that everything he has ever lived for had all been a lie. It was just part of one huge experiment and he doesn't like that. For example, on page 136, Tobias says, "But there's so much that was a lie, it's hard to figure out what was true, what was real, what matters." He is thinking about how his entire life wasn't at all what he thought it was. He is worried that because all he was was an experiment, he didn't truly live for anything and wasn't truly able to do anything that could have changed the world.

Describe the Setting of the Book

I have just started a book called Allegiant by Veronica Roth which is the third and final book of the Divergent series. So far, the setting of the book is still based in a dystopian Chicago. The entire series is a dystopian society in the future. Currently, Tris and Tobias are deciding whether or not they should leave the city and venture out to see what lies beyond the boundary fence. At the end of the second book, it is revealed there is a whole other world outside the fence and that the people who live in Chicago were placed there on purpose to eventually come back out and save and rebuild the old world which tore itself apart. I believe that sometime soon in the book they will leave to discover what's out there. The leader of the new government, Tobias' Mom, doesn't want anybody to leave. This means that they must leave in secret. Nobody knows what they will find out there but I predict it will be an anarchy with chaos nearly everywhere and a collapsed government. If anyone has any other predictions what they will find please comment them.
