CHAPTER 12
At first the Dauntless faction was doing some sort of
freshman ritual in the middle of the night but it turned out to be capture the
flag which should be the game everyone plays at parties because having the
whole city as a backdrop is just freaking awesome. Tris’ team wins, by the way.
Today's Topics:
Four's Fears and Christina
Okay, I’ve got to admit, I also have a
fear of heights (but yet I can go on roller coasters with almost no problem…),
so I can sympathize with Four here. I think heights are one of the most common
fear for people in general though. I like that Four ignores his fear as he
follows Tris up to the top of the Ferris wheel though. But as Dauntless, that’s
what he’s got to do anyway. Me and Four are chill, he seems alright.
Christina, Christina, Christina…YOU
POOPFACE! I mean seriously, what the heck?! You start out being all nice to
Tris, and then when Tris actually does something right (by seeing where the
enemy was) you suddenly don’t want to give her credit or respect. I get that
Tris is short, but you could’ve hoisted her up to reach the flag. COME ON NOW
CHRISTINA. Me no likey you anymore. And I know Christina
feels jealous that she WASN’T SMART ENOUGH to determine
where the enemy was, but give Tris credit for BEING
SMARTER THAN YOU. FOR ONCE STOP BEING A BRAT!
Four’s fear of heights gets more pronounced when we see him
in the Fear Landscape, which should be coming up, but here we get a taste of
it. A fear of heights is very common, as
Jackie said, which is probably one of the reasons Veronica Roth picked it. It is one of the things that make Four human
and those things are what I love most about him. Four’s always going to be my favorite. I am deathly scared of heights and I don’t
think I would have the courage to be walking on see-through glass floors in the
Dauntless headquarters so that faction would definitely be out for me.
Okay, since I started this discussion I have been pointing
out the fact that I HATE the name, “Stiff” and here, Four goes ahead and uses
it. What’s up with that? Comments are welcome.
I don’t understand why anyone likes Christina. If you like Christina, please tell me a good
explanation to why you like her so much because I feel like she is a patronizing
brat. I don’t like her. Don’t like her but I still dislike Peter
more. But why did she have to do
that? Her face? I have a good picture of her face in my mind
when she took the flag and it wasn’t pretty.
Christina is one of those types that is used to spotlight all the
time. Why does she always need the spotlight? That’s it… friendship over. Christina and I are no longer friends.
Why does Four, when picking teams, call Tris “a Stiff?”
