Early Conflicts

    So far a lot of different conflicts of all different kinds have come up. Veronica roth uses both self vs self and self vs others to move the plot forward. The main conflict is Tris, Four, and the Allegiant against Evelynn Johnson and her faction-less army. The Allegiant are a rebel group who want to keep the faction system and disagree with evelynn's reforms. They have a few small skirmishes but for the most part the factionless try to set examples in order to cause fear among the Allegiant instead of confronting them straight up. Tris and Four have some small conflict about keeping secrets and not valuing ones life over another. Four also has a problem with his dad who is set to be on trial and most likely will die. He has always hated his dad and wanted him to die but now that the dream may become reality, he isn't sure if he's ready to face it. He still has mixed feelings about his dad and thinks that his dad may still be on his side. I feel like the impact of the mystery is one of the things that keeps me reading. I love suspense and surprising results in stories and it really makes it more exciting and enjoyable to read.
