As I continued to read Allegiant this week, it became very interesting. Tris, Tobias, and other members get to the other side of the fence. As they were roaming around, they met Zoe and Amar (who was Tobias' old instructor) who took them to meet the leader of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. He was in charge of the manipulation of the people's genes. His name was David, and he began to explain to them the history that came before their time. He explained how there was a country before they made the factions. David explained how they used genetic manipulations to take away certain traits that they did have in the past (like selfishness), but didn't want anymore because it caused too much conflict. David told them that factions were made as a cause of a war they had (called the Purity War) which was between people with damaged/manipulated genes and the people with pure genes (including the government). They also reveled that Divergent's are ones with pure genes. And the most interesting thing that I read this week was that the Bureau of Genetic Welfare have been watching the people of the factions' every move with camera surveillance.

If I were to be like Caleb or Cara, someone with damaged genes, I would definitely be upset. I wouldn't want to be someone that was altered, and have some that were not, just for an experiment. I would want to be whole, and I would always be jealous of the ones who were. 

I'm predicting that some type of conflict will start between the damaged genes and the people of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. I think it will also be interesting to see what the Bureau of Genetic Welfare will do with Tris, Tobias, and the others. Will they use them to their advantage? Will Tris, Tobias, and the others fight against the Bureau? Or will the Bureau send them back into the gates? It is very suspenseful and I am excited to read more this next week! 



The link I found this week is to an article about how the Allegiant movie was announced to be split in two parts. I know I am not finished with the book, but I think that Allegiant has so much suspense. They will be phenomenal movies no matter where they decide to split it.
