Four: A Brief Summary Of The Novel Four

Improved Essays
The main character of the novel Four is Tobias Eaton, a Abnegation born but a Dauntless transit. He is nicknamed Four in the story because he only had four fears. Tobias was only sixteen when he made his life changing choice — to join the Dauntless. He was the son of a Abnegation leader and to escape the control of his father and to get his freedom he turned to the Dauntless. Tobias changed from a cowering, lanky, slouched, obedient stiff in Abnegation to a brave instructor of the transfer initiates in Dauntless. He was divergent; he thought differently than the others and didn’t get manipulated by the factions.

    Nathan McCall’s novel, Them, takes you on a journey that takes place in a Atlanta neighborhood known for its central road, Auburn Avenue, which at one point was considered as the “richest Negro street in the world.” This story is focused on Barlowe Reed, a single, middle aged African American man who is still living with his nephew on Randolph Street, just a little ways from Dr. Martin Luther King’s historic birthplace.

    Throughout my readings there were a lot of similarities to the books that I have read this semester on the way the authors would write. I’m not saying that every book was the same, but I notice that the authors would write mostly the same social problems in each of their books. In each book the protagonist would have to deal with the same issues that isn’t brought up by the antagonist. It would be issues that are brought up from the social environment that they are all in like the belief system, racism, and supernatural.

    Yes, I had a strong sense of the time and place in the novel, as Amir explains everything in details. It convoyed when he described the house in the beginning when they lived in Kabul and how large and beautiful it was. Also when they went to America I also had a strong sense of what there life was and how everything changed, the apartment they lived in was small, there income was extremely low they basically had to start from the beginning.
