ok i promise not to blog about divergent because ew but this has been bugging me since middle school so i’m gonna say it now. i’m not about to reread this book so no citations for you, but in insurgent there’s this scene where christina’s younger sister meets tris and says “so you’re the one who killed chrissy’s boyfriend?” or something along those lines, and when tris gets upset and runs off, she’s like “what? just putting it out there.” all of my friends were like “wow, what a bitch” and eventually i just got sick of defending her but none of my friends are on this site so i’m gonna say what i wanna say now: SHE IS A CHILD AND THIS IS THE CULTURE SHE WAS RAISED IN. in candor faction it is both unethical and impolite to beat around the bush. i’m not even saying they’re wrong for that—that may be a good thing to teach children! that isn’t the point of this, though. it’s not about whether what they taught her was good but the face that they taught her that and it’s all she knew. i don’t think she meant tris to suffer a panic attack, either; i think she accepted that as a risk to do what she saw as the most important thing: telling the truth at all costs.
