I am upset to say that I haven't really gotten to read my book as much as I would like to with all of the make up work and extra work that we are getting from snow days. As of right now, the Dauntless initiates just had there last fight before the ranks came up. Tris was over whelmed with joy when she beat Molly (one of her biggest enemies). She made it in the top ten, at number 6! She had made a huge improvement and just as they were getting comfortable, they heard of more people getting cut. They hurried down to see the list, and they were glad to find that they had moved up in rank. Now Tris is number 5!
I believe that Tris is very similar to Katniss (from The Hunger Games). They are not only similar in personality but in their situations too! They both have to make decisions that will effect the rest of their lives. For example, Katniss made the decision to trade her safety and potentially her life so that her sister didn't have to. Tris is having to hide her true personality, and choose a faction where she thinks that she will best fit in. If she doesn't succeed then it could possibly be the end of her life. Both women have strong parts in their film and book. They both show amazing courage in tough situations, such as when Katniss had to go to the games for the first time. When Tris first jumped off the train and even when she climbed all the way up the Ferris Wheel to help her team win capture the flag, and then proceeded to beat Molly in a fight!
As for a comparison to a real life person, the first person who came to mind is my grandma. She is one of the strongest women that I know! She is truly a role model. She is paraplegic (she is paralyzed from the waist down) and that doesn't stop her from doing anything. She is just like Katniss and Tris in that they all give a lot to others and don't ask for much in return! My grandma is amazing. She has been through so many things and has had to make a lot of hard decisions just like the two I mentioned above! Even though I do not get to spend that much time with her, she has always been there for me.
