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.
Interesting way of looking at it but they doesn't sound too different.
ReplyDeleteI have not read any books from this series but from your blog it seems like tobias is more worrried about the past and that everything is a lie and tris is also worried about about the past but that the government has recorded everything they have done.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks really good, and I want to start reading this series. Other people have recommended it to me, and I am looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteMy sister has read this series and said how good the books are. Now that I know someone else who has read the books and liked the first one enough to read the second maybe I will try these books out.
