Do you think Tris made the right faction choice?
How does initiation change and transform Tris? Do you think she made the right faction choice? How do you think she might have changed if she had chosen one of the other factions?

I completely agree with this post. If Tris had joined another faction, she would not have met Four, Christina, Will or the other friends, who helped develop her as a person. Plus, the story would not have been as dramatic and it would have ruined a good book. The author was smart to put Tris in Dauntless, because it helped to describe and develop Tris' character against a dynamically opposite back drop of what was expected of her character.gali wrote:Tris made the only choice available to her in those conditions. I think she made the right faction choice because she fitted into the Dauntless. Initiation changed her by making her stronger, braver and smarter than before. It prepared her for the uprising as well. If Tris had chosen some other faction, she wouldn’t have been as happy. She felt right at home in Dauntless, more than Four.
