Chapter Thirty

It's Tris's turn to enter her fear landscape, which will be the final test the initiates encounter before final results are posted.

Her first fear is the crows again, her second fear is the tank of water, and her third fear is of falling into the chasm. These fears aren't really meant to be taken literally though. Her real fear is of being out of control.

"To face it, I have to regain control." - Tris

Her fourth fear is of being burned at the stake by Peter. Her third is of being kidnapped/taken against her will.  I think these are more literal considering her previous real life situations.

Her fifth fear is...well, having sex with Tobias. I guess just being that close with anybody in general. This is understandable taking into consideration that she is part Abnegation. Her sixth fear is of having Jeanine force her to kill her family. Her family looks at her and tells her they understand, but Tris can't bring herself to do it.

"Selflessness and bravery aren't all that different." - Tobias

Tris remembers why he said this. She drops the gun and turns to face the gun that Jeanine is pointing at her head. She hears a click, and a bang.
