Chapter Seventeen

Uriah asks Tris to go to a Dauntless-born initiation ritual. Even though she isn't Dauntless-born, the other initiate cut her some slack. I would be super excited because no transfer initiates have ever gotten to do this.

"Part of me wonders if this is a suicide mission disguised as a game." - Tris

They take the train to the abandoned side of the city to the old Hancock building. When they get there they ride the elevator to the 100th floor which is apparently the roof. All of the initiates have to zip-line on their stomaches face first from the top of the sky scraper to the ground...That sounds like so much fun!

I once did this thing at six flags that is kind of similar. I honestly have no idea how to explain it so I'm not even going to try.

"I feel like I am without substance, without weight." - Tris

I don't know why, but thats my favorite part about doing things like that. The feeling of being weightless and not touching anything but thin air.

Tris begins to realize the camaraderie that is formed between the Dauntless that can only exist when you experience those things together. It's the first time she has really felt eager to be one of them.
