Chapters 33-39
Please share thoughts, questions, comments, anything about Chapters 33-39 in the comments below.
What did you think about the end of the book? Do you think it was too abrupt as well or do you think it ended well?
Did you predict that the book would end this way with the war starting or did you think something else would happen?
Do you plan to read the next book to find out what happens? What do you think is going to happen in the next book of the trilogy?

Chapters 15-17
Below are some questions/topics that pertain to chapters 15-17:
- Were you surprised Tris's mother showed up to Visiting Day?
- Tris's mother encourages Tris to find her brother and ask him to "research the simulation serum," but she does not provide an explanation for why. What information is Tris's mother withholding?
- Drew and Peter see Edward as a threat and decide to stab his eye. Do you view this action as indicative of their "Dauntless" faction, or do you see it as the opposite? (Keep in mind the Dauntless are associated with traits such as fearlessness and bravery.)
- Toward the end of chapter 17, Shauna comments on how they can no longer call Tris, "Stiff" anymore as Tris becomes more Dauntless-like. Would you say Tris is more motivated by her desire to be fearless like the other Dauntless, or by the fear evoked from knowing she's Divergent?
