Chapter Nineteen

In this chapter Tris cuts loose a little more, that is, after tensing up. Peter has an Erudite newspaper that criticizes her parents and he refuses to stop reading until she stomps on his bare foot. She lunges at Molly but is dragged off by Will who reminds her where her loyalties now lie. After which the gang of misfit initiates take her out to loosen up; she gets another tattoo and Four absolutely loves it.

And, for once, he tells her straight out. Though it's still a little creepy since he's drunk during his slurred compliments, but Tris probably wouldn't respond well if it wasn't weird. Al swoops her up like a sack of potatoes and runs her back to the dining hall--his jealousy obvious. Will starts to tease her and she smacks him and the scene sort of fades into her reflecting on the differences in her life.

"I have never been carried by a large boy before, or laughed until my stomach hurt at the dinner table, or listened to the clamour of a hundred people all talking at once. Peace is restrained; this is free."

I disagree. 

Freedom is not chaos, freedom is something exists within a person. Even when one is restrained, one can let go--one can be free; even in discord one can be tethered, one can be restrained. These are subjective. Peace is something different altogether--something both eternal and internal.
