Allegiant Conflicts
The main character, Tris, is challenged with many different obstacles during this book. The first set is that she figures out that all she has known, her world, her city, the system her people live by, was all an experiment. She feels uncomfortable knowing that everything she has ever known was phony. Another obstacle she has to overcome is that the Bureau of Genetic Welfare (the organization that created the experiments) has created some fault in them and now has to clear the data, which requires refreshing citizens' memories. Tris does not want this to happen, and therefore tries to rebel secretly. Tobias also discovers something big about himself during this time period and also takes action in a way. Everything is messed up and nobody knows which side to take. Would they rather lose freedom, or everything they'd ever known?

Quote: " Your genes are still damaged, but you have a genetic anomaly that allows you to be aware during simulations" (Roth 176) This is explaining Tobias's discovery, and it changes the way he reacts to things. The story is told from 2 people's view - Tris and Tobias. So one of the main characters finding out something this big is important in this stage of the Novel
