Four, By:Stanley Suter

     Prompt-Who is your favorite character and why? Who is your least favorite character?

          This week I have been reading "Four" by Veronica Roth and I really like it. She brought in a new style of writing and thought with Tobias. She also gave an explanation to the time before Tobias went into the Dauntless and when he took his test he was actually seen as a person from Abnegation, not as a divergent like Tris was. It also explains the ceremony in which Tobias was brought into the Dauntless.

         
My favorite character so far would have to be Tobias. He is innocent and seemingly scared but at the same time he is ruthless and willing to leave his faction for better personal gain.  He will even stick up to his dad, who is a leader of Abnegation and not afraid to abuse Tobias, even though it will make the politics of Abnegation look very bad. This is because it shows how Abnegation could be falling and the leaders may not have raised their children well enough for them to be loyal.

          My least favorite character would have to be Tobias's  dad because he is the only other character we've meet in the book other than Tobias and the faction tester and he is already being set up as the protagonist. He often abuses Tobias and explains exactly what he wants Tobias to do when he goes for the test. The things he will have to do and what he needs to choose to be directed to the factor of Abnegation. I feel that he will end up being the worst protagonist in Tobiases view.
