CHARACTER TYPES
1. Looking at the different types of characters
(see definitions on right), which would you consider
for the following roles:
• Protagonist:
• Antagonist:
• Mentor:
• Foil:
• Confidante:

2. Which events in the novel so far have been catalysts
for change in Tris?
3. Which characters would you consider catalysts for Tris?
Why?
LOOKING AHEAD: Other minor character roles include
symbolic characters, those who represent one of the
themes from the novel.
As you continue reading, make note of any characters
who may be symbolic of one of the themes.
One area authors concentrate on are whether the character
changes his or her personality, beliefs, looks, and behavior
over the course of the story. If so, these are called dynamic
characters. If not, they are more static characters.
The other area is the complexity of the character’s
personality: do they show a range of emotions?
Are they conflicted on decisions? Do they sometimes
contradict themselves? If so, they are more rounded
characters. If they seem to only have one or two personality
traits, they are considered flat characters.
1. Which characters are more dynamic in the story thus far?
Why?
2. Which characters are portrayed more rounded so far?
Why?
CHARACTER PORTRAYALS
Characters are not only classified in certain roles, but
they are portrayed in differently
Types of Characters
Protagonist: the central person in the story who is
faced with conflict that must be resolved (the main
character).
Antagonist: a character (or situation) that opposes or
contends with the protagonist.
Mentor: serves as the protagonist’s conscience; this
character voices the lesson(s) to be learned.
Foil: a character whose personality traits conflict with
the protagonist’s, giving the reader a contrast that
helps you get to know the protagonist better.
Confidante: a character in which the protagonist
confides, allowing the reader to learn more about the
protagonist.
Catalyst: a character or event that instigates a
change in other characters or in the plot of the story.
Types of Character Portrayals
CHANGE or STAY THE SAME?
Dynamic characters: are characters who change over
time, usually as a result of facing a major crisis or
resolving a conflict.
Static characters: are those whose personalities,
attitudes, and looks do not evolve over time.
• • •
COMPLEX or ONE-DIMENSIONAL?
Round characters: are characters who have a complex
personality; they are usually conflicted and/or
contradictory.
Flat characters: are those who only have one
personality trait or characteristic; they are relatively
uncomplicated.

ONOMATOPOEIA
Read the following passage from Chapter 34, pages 433-434. CIRCLE all the examples of
onomatopoeia. Then answer the questions below.
“Jeanine braces herself against the desk, spluttering and gasping. She rubs her throat, which is bright
red with Tobias’s fingerprints. No matter how mechanical she seems, she’s still human; there are tears
in her eyes as she takes a box from her desk drawer and opens it, revealing a needle and syringe.
Still breathing heavily, she carries it toward Tobias. Tobias grits his teeth and elbows one of the
guards in the face. The guard slams the heel of his gun into the side of Tobias’s head, and Jeanine
sticks the needle into Tobias’s neck. He goes limp.
A sound escapes my mouth, not a sob or a scream, but a croaking, scraping moan that sounds
detached, like it is coming from someone else.” (Chapter 34, p. 433-434)

1. How does the use of onomatopoeia enhance the passage?
2. How do the words contribute to the overall mood of the passage? What feelings do they convey?
IT MAKES ME WONDER…
“The pain has been so constant for the past few minutes that I have gotten used to it, like a person gets
used to a siren’s wail if it remains consistent.”
(chapter 34, page 431)
Some words or phrases the author uses triggers additional questions in the reader’s mind. For example,
the words “a siren’s wail” may cause the reader to wonder what kind of siren she is referring to. It is
questionable because the narrator has never mentioned a siren, or a police or emergency force (besides
Dauntless). Perhaps it is a city-wide siren. Which then prompts further questions, like: Who controls the
sirens for the city? What are they used for? Why is Tris familiar with a constant siren wail?
What are some phrases/words in the book that make YOU wonder or prompts further questions? Are
there any words the author has used that you question? Write your thoughts on a separate sheet of
paper.
END OF NOVEL QUESTIONS
1. Survival of the Fittest OR Knowing the Right People? How
has Tris relied on others for her own survival? How has she relied
on herself? Cite examples from the novel to support your answer.

2. POINT OF VIEW: How would the story differ if it was
narrated from Four’s point of view? Consider where the story
would begin, which events would be included, which new events
may be added, and how it might end.
3. THEMATIC CONNECTIONS: Determine two or more themes
or central ideas from the novel; next, analyze their development
over the course of the text, including how they interact and build
on one another to produce a complex account.
4. PARALLEL PLOTS: Determine two main conflicts in the novel.
How do the events for each conflict interact with one another and
build suspense?
