Who Is Tris In Dauntless

The main character's name is Beatrice Prior, and her nick name is Tris in Dauntless. She’s can be described as a 16 year old girl with blond hair, a narrow face, wide, round eyes, and a long thin nose. Even though she's sixteen she still sees herself as a little girl. She comes from Abnegation, but on choosing day she transfers to Dauntless. Tris is a divergent, which means that in her aptitude test, her results were “inconclusive”. She has equal aptitude for Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite. The antagonists name is Jeanine Matthews and she can be described as the leader of Erudite. She’s also the organizer, and controller of the simulation to get rid of the divergents and the Abnegation. Shes trying to get rid of the Abnegation because the main representatives of the government come from the faction because they are known to be selfless, and won't make decisions based, not off their opinions, off of other's opinions. She doubts that the Abnegation are actually selfless, and thinks they are actually a faction try to hoard things to themselves. She creates a serum, that allows her to control whom ever, she injects them into dauntless, and has them go to kill off all of the Abnegation. The serum does not work on divergents
and she finds out all of the divergents she finds because she thinks that they are dangerous to their community
The conflict they encounter is that Tris is a divergent, and Jeanine Matthews has a thought in her mind that divergents are harmful to the world they live in. Tris founds out that people have been killed for being divergent, in the past, and needs to find ways that she can hide her divergence. She finds out that her dauntless initiate trainer, Four, is also divergent. He has survived a while without being killed. He helps Tris to get through initiation without the rest figuring out that she's divergent.
The way Tris resolves the conflict is by stopping the simulation that Jeanine is using to, control all of dauntless, excluding divergents, leaders, and other valuable members. She stops the simulation by getting with a group of Abnegation members that got away, including her dad and brother Caleb. They find the control area and are equipped with guns, so that they can fight off any of the people guarding, or are with Jeanine. Once they have fought off every one and have made it to the controller they need Jeanine to shut of the sim. They do this by also putting her under the sim and then they can control her. They have her shut down they sim. completely and makes it so that no one can work the sim. again.
Tris changes/develops throughout the book.
At the beginning of the book she is a “member” of Abnegation, then she transfers to Dauntless on choosing day. In Abnegation she was a simple person, that's not allowed to be selfish and has to think of everyone else before she can think of herself. She was never allowed to show much skin and get piercings and tattoos. Also she was only allowed to look at herself in the mirror on special occasions. Throughout the book Tris gets a tattoo of birds on her collar bone. She also becomes selfish, thinking about herself before others. Her clothes turn into black, tight fitting, and show more skin. She’s also allowed to look at herself in a mirror when ever she would like to without it being against her
faction.
One of the themes of the book can be identified as, you're not just ONE thing. This is seen in the book when Tris finds out that she’s Divergent and not just Abnegation, Dauntless, or Erudite, shes all of them. The author wants the reader to understand that you don't just have to be one thing, like you don't just have to be smart, you can be smart, sporty, and girly. If you are told that you can't be in multiple groups of friends, then those people telling you something wrong because you can, cause those are all your friends. Also, you can't always just be happy, or sad, you have different emotions, if you didn't people would not find you interesting, because you would always be the same. Having different emotions makes you as a person different from the others around you.
I can say the book impacted me in the following ways because it taught me that it's ok to have “different sides” to you and that you don't just have to be one thing, you can be multiple things. Another way, is that it showed me that I can have courage and defeat things/people that are bothering me. I can't just let them walk right over me. In addition, its ok to be different, different isn't bad. If you want to be someone that's not been yet, that's ok. If people judge you, that's there fault and they should get over it because that's who you want to be. Why did Lady Gaga become famous? Not because she was being the same as everyone else, it was because she was different.
