    Did you ever wonder reading the book Divergent why Tris and Four almost never left each other sides? Well if you didn't know they had a pretty strong relationship and they would never let eachother down. And the best part is Tris finally didnt care if people knew she was divergent. She even told Four and didn't care because Four is actually divergent too. I believe that Tris would be lost without Four because he got her through everything in dauntless, they were pretty much in a relationship after they kissed, and lastly he kept her safe all the time.…

    In the articles “Three Cheers for the Nanny State,” “Ban the Ban!,” and “Soda’s a Problem but…”, all three authors present their arguments with facts, opinions, and counterclaims. However, one article presents itself better than the rest. I believe that the article “Soda’s a Problem, but...” was the most convincing article.
