Post 6- Book 3 Listical

 

 5 reasons why Tris is aggravating:

Her stupidity harms others: Tris makes decisions based on what she thinks is right in the moment. Although having quick reactions can be a good thing many times it’s not. In insurgent she offers herself up to the enemy so that they can test her to make a powerful simulation that can control people like her (divergent). So what your thinking is probably something along the lines of wow she just saved everyone the erudite was going to harm, but in the reality the test were going to help erudite control the people who would stop them in the end. So Tris gave herself up and this would help control the divergent not save everyone else.  

Plays the "16 year old girl card": Tris is 16 years old and has come a long way since leaving abnegation and going to Dauntless. She is strong and knows how to fight. Yet she still manipulates people by playing I'm that helpless little girl card. Like in the book she had other plans to secretly go behind dauntless and while they tried to take down erudite she would try to save some of it. So she said she was not prepared to fight because of the traumatic experiences lately instead. So she went behind everyone's back and did what she wanted. 

Obsessive: Throughout the book Tris constantly obsesses over one thing after another and then they come back again and again. For example Four. She obsesses over him constantly, always wondering if he still likes her. Why he likes her? What's he thinking? For periods of time this certain obsession fades but then another arises. Will, she keeps bringing up Will, which in her defense is sad but it's constantly "I killed him" and she has 100 million thoughts about it. Finally just the list of people that have done her wrong. Every time a person is added she goes over everyone on that list and what they have done.

Anger = clouded judgment:  When Tris gets angry she loses all of her abnegation values and lets someone know it. She usually lashes and becomes violent. For example Caleb, her brother, worked for a women named Jeanine who had Tris "killed" and he pretty much stood by and let her do it. So a few months later when she and Caleb were on speaking terms he said something jokingly and she punch his face repeatedly and said " I'm gunna kill him!" . Now I understand why she was upset but she has done it many other times with Peter as well.


The world revolves around her: Tris is a leader and there is no doubt about that. Although her leadership skills get the characters in the book out of trouble, she acts like the world revolves around her. Tris is very head strong and wants what she wants when she wants it. In the book she has that " I am always right" attitude, for example when Tobias messes up she has to make sure he knows she was right even though he obviously knows. I just get this tone that she feels that everyone should follow her and if they don't there always wrong.
