Chapter Fifteen

The more blogs I write the more I like Peter. Ugh, such confliction! But I liked Shane from TWD, too. I suppose I see redemption in the characters everyone loves to hate. I think there's going to be some maaaaaaajor Peter development in Allegient, and I'm super excited.

Anyway, in this chapter visiting day is upon them! All the families are allowed to see their children one last time and the majority of the famlies show up. Not Peter's though. He's alone and against the wall and Tris laughs at that. I agree, Peter's a jerk, but ouch, that kind of hurt a little. It really shows a transition in Tris when she can find rejoice in such an awful thing.

More importantly, Natalie Prior comes and pulls her daughter aside. She's not surprised by the Dauntless head quarters, but instead she pulls Tris aside and asks he very informed questions. She finds out that her daughter is Divergent and states that there's a strangely large amount of Divergent Abnegation children. She warns Tris to stay in the middle of the ranks and to give a message to Caleb. She tells Tris that she loves her very much and she goes on her way.

"I stand alone in the blue light coming from the lamp above me and I understand:
My mother was Dauntless."

Blue is a color associated with knowledge and truth, and also the Erudite, but I already commented on that. I  think Roth knew to some extent what this color means in a theoretical sense and explained this as shown on purpose. Not only is a secret coming to "light" but it's also a hidden truth. Very cool, I liked this line.
