FINAL Prabe Post

Well, I feel bad that it took me the whole class to finish my Divergent book but I finally did it.

Chapter 34Tris and Four were taken by Eric and Dauntless. They go to meet Jeanine and she has a new mind-control serum for Four. This new mind-control serum works on Four by controlling what he sees. But since Tris is already shot, Jeanine decides they should just execute her.

Chapter 35Jeanine then decides to execute Tris through drowning her. Tris's mom shows up and rescues her. Mom gets her out of there and reveals that she herself was Divergent. While they're running away, some Dauntless almost catch them. Tris's mom sacrifices herself so that she can get away and find her dad and brother that are in a basement close by.

Chapter 36After losing her mom, Tris freaks out and runs away and is followed by the sleepwalking Dauntless soldiers. She runs into Will and she shoots him in the head. She finally finds the basement where her family is hiding and her brother said he researched the serum and found out what was going to happen. Tris’s dad takes the bullet out of her shoulder. There are other Abnegation people also hiding in the basement including Four’s dad. Tris tells them they have to destroy the computer at Dauntless headquarters that is running the simulation. If they do that the Dauntless sleepwalkers will wake up.

Chapter 37 Tris, her dad, her brother and Marcus (Four’s Dad) take a train to the Dauntless headquarters and sneak in. Thankfully there are very few guards there. Peter is there and Tris’s captures him so he can tell her where the computers are.  Peter tells her he will tell her but she has to promise to take them when they leave. They see some guards and Tris’s dad sacrifices himself so she can get to the computers. When she gets there she finds Four operating the computer simulation.

Chapter 38
Four is still being mind-controlled and Tris tries to break through. First she tries to destroy the computer, but that doesn’t work because Four is a better fighter. She tries to talk to him and decided she can’t shoot him and so she gives him a gun.

 

Chapter 39 Four doesn't shoot Tris, but wakes up from his mind-control because he's Divergent and she reminded him. They kiss and Tobias shuts down the mind-control program. He also gets a little hard drive with data on the simulation so they can show it to people and prove what Erudite did. Since the computers are shut down the Dauntless are free but confused. Four runs into his dad again and it is super awkward. Tris tells Marcus to get away from his son but they need to get away from Dauntless headquarters. The whole group gets on a train - Tris, her brother Caleb, Four, his dad Marcus, and Peter. And they're off to Amity to see if they can help them.

Overall, I thought this was an outstanding book. I am looking forward to the next book and the movie coming out soon. I liked this book almost as much as the Hunger Games series. I like how we are required to take time out to read. As a mom of triplets, full time student, substitute teacher, and homemaker it is hard to find time to do anything for myself. I have really enjoyed this class and look forward to using a lot of what I learned in my future classroom.
