You all know what it's like, right? To have a loved boyfriend or girlfriend die?
Ok... maybe not, but I think we all can imagine it. The feeling of being left behind, abandoned. Sorrow.
Well this is what Tobias had to go through when Tris died. I promise, this will not be some long boring rant like some of my past blogs ok, so just stick in here.
When Tobias finds out that Tris dies he goes into shock/ grief/ denial. He also gets very depressed when he accepts the truth. "I squeeze Tris's hand, praying that if I do it hard enough, I will send life back into her body and she will flush with color and wake up. I don't know how long it takes for me to realize that isn't going to happen, that she is gone. But when I do I feel all the strength goes out of me, and I fall to my knees beside the table and I think I cry, then, or at least I want to, and everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more." (pg. 494)This line is very powerful, to me at least. It shows how much they love each other. Tobias is a strong and independent man, he never ever cries. For him to cry, he must be just devastated. It shows that Tobias may be hard on the outside but he has soft spots for certain people. His biggest soft spot is for Tris so when she dies he is left with an outer shell and a hollowed out inside.
The realization of this makes me, and I'm sure, all of the other readers feel so bad for Tobias. His one true love is gone.
On that happy note I am going to leave you with a question... What book do you guys think I should read next?
