Allegiant Finale

Allegiant Finale
Alex Engler

I left off on my last post with Tobias in jail and another attack on the compound near. Tris is now unsure of her relationship with Tobias because he hasn’t been listening to her. Even though he stayed with her through her depression and completing all of the suicide missions she tried. Tris is in a really bad spot at this point in the story. Her boyfriend isn’t there and listening to her, her brother tried to get her killed, her parents are dead, and her best friend Uriah is about to die because of being near the bomb that Tobias set off to create a diversion. As the story goes on Tris finds out that her mother came from this compound and that her being in the faction society was all a plan to see if they were ready to come and save the compound from it’s own destruction. She is given her mother’s journal and Tris reads it over and over again trying to understand why her mother never told her any of this information.
Once she is done reading her mother’s journal, Tris decides that it is time to show her brother who came with them to the compound. She is at war with herself because Caleb is still her brother even though he almost got her killed and didn’t do anything about it. She finally decides that she will try to forgive him and try to rebuild their relationship. But the damage may already be done and it won’t be able to be fully repaired.
Tobias is in jail, but the “genetically pure” give him a fair trial and he is able to get released from jail. Once he is out he tries to repair his relationship with Tris. Over the next few weeks they finally come to an understanding and are once again trying to get rid of the “genetically pure” rule over the “genetically damaged”. They come up with a plan to get in to the weapons lab and get the memory serum to reset the memories of the genetically pure. The only problem is, is that it has a high tech security system that if you don’t enter the right passcode you will get sprayed with the death serum and die. This death serum is absorbed through your skin and no one can outrun it or try to cover themselves from it. One of them will have to make the ultimate sacrifice and die trying to get that memory serum.
The day finally arrives to start their attack. Tobias goes back to the city to reset his parent’s memories and try to make peace. Tris and Caleb are the one’s to go to the weapon’s lab. Originally Caleb was going to be the one to get serum and die trying. But last minute Tris makes the courageous decision to go to the weapons lab instead of her brother. Since Tris is Divergent she was able to resist the death serum. She got the memory serum and was about to leave with it, when the leader of the “genetically pure” shows up and shoots her. Tris dies, but her effort was not in vain. The “genetically pure” were reset and all were saved from the destruction that was coming. Tobias is depressed that Tris died. After a while he finally learns to move on and he gives life a new chance.
In my opinion this was the worst ending to the book, because the main character that we followed through the entire series dies. I was really hoping that it would be a Harry Potter moment and she would come back to life. But in the end she doesn’t and Tobias has to live his life without her.
