As I read on this week, I connected Tris to a character in a movie I recently saw, The Maze Runner. The main character, Thomas, is also very curious and determined like Tris. He wakes up in an unknown place to a group of boys looking at him. He realizes that he is trapped with the high walls surrounding him, and that the only possible way out is going into the maze when the wall doors open. It is one of the rules there (in the Glade) that you can't to go into the maze unless you're a "runner", but Thomas does anyway. He went beyond the walls just like Tris went beyond the fence. They both were curious and determined to go beyond where they were not allowed to go. I know Tris' curiosity took her places, but did Thomas'? Read or watch The Maze Runner to find out! I very much recommend it!
My reading this week was filled with answers to my curiosity about things happening in the book! It has only gotten more suspenseful as I have continued to read. I'm hoping that it will only get more suspenseful further on. I like Tris' curiosity about her parents, but I would really like it if she became curious about a different topic. Maybe something to do with Tobias? It will only make the book more intriguing! Veronica Roth has done a wonderful job at keeping me hooked onto this book, and I'm hoping I still will feel that way when I am closer to the end!

All these main characters are mostly teenagers.......I think. And as teenagers we are normally curious about things we are forbidden to go to. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that Tris is a very curious person. You did a good job with your blog!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great connection to Thomas! In both the Maze Runner and Divergent, the character's curiosity really helps drive the plot. Thank you for bringing my attention to this! :)
