The main protagonist in Allegiant is Beatrice (Tris) Prior. She starts in the abnegation faction, the faction of selflessness, and chooses to switch to Dauntless. Immediately after making the switch from Abnegation to Dauntless, Beatrice changes her name to Tris and her personality along with it. Abnegation members are sort of looked down upon in their society and Tris is effected by this. She doesn't want to be known as the girl from Abnegation or by "Stiff", she wants to be known as Tris. She quickly grows up and learns new customs and an entire new lifestyle. By the end of Divergent, you wouldn't even know that Tris started out as a shy girl from Abnegation. The changes in Tris from Divergent to Allegiant are astonishing. Tris really breaks out of her shell and takes a position as one of the most comonly known people in this society. She has to learn to become a leader, and adapts well. She also has a lot more experience with weapons and has learned to kill, for better or for worse is a decision that you'll have to make. Throughout all these changes Tris really seems to become a whole new person. But don't take my word for it, see for yourself and read the Divergent Trilogy.

I like how in depth you go when talking about this summary. I am currently reading Divergent right now
ReplyDeleteI like how you mention how she changes along with her name.
ReplyDeleteSeems a bit drastic that she did that. Why did she, though? I've never read Divergent, but it seems interesting; seeing whats going on here in this book.
ReplyDeleteI had never really thought about it before, but she does really change a lot from the beggining of the book to the end. And it is not just a little change either. Like you mentioned it was very drastic.
ReplyDeleteThat seems real drastic of her but I see what you mean about the forgetful part. Its not the forgetting, its just she soooooo much changed that she seems so much different to you.
ReplyDeleteI love how you talk about how Tris changes throughout the story.
