Insurgent: Characters & Symbols

• Beatris Prior (Tris)- I think a gun would be a symbol for her becasue like a gun, Tris is fearless and can be very protective. But after the gun does the damage, after its shot, it has a backfire. the gun backfires at the person. That is how Tris is. She can take a life easily, like pressing a trigger, but after she has lots of guilt and sorrow, like the backfire of the gun.

• Tobias Eaton (Four)- I think an elephant would describe Tobias because an elephant is magestic, itelligent, calm, and powerful. When it's left alone, it can be beautiful and loving, but when someone/something tampers its family or itself, the elephant can turn into a ferocious beast that will do anything to protect its loved ones. Just like Tobias. He is very quite and conservative and doesn't really have much interest for whats happening. But when someone were to put Tris on the line, he would turn into a outrageous monster that will go to any heights to stop the evil.

• Caleb Prior- I think Caled is like a lost puppy. He would do anythingh to fit into the crowd. A lost puppy would be look and trust anyone to get its way back home. He becomes very dependent. Like Caleb. Caleb was born into Abnegation, but he went along and acted like he was ment to be in Abnegation, only to switch to Erudite. When he joined Erudite, Caleb would do and think just like them. He would do anything he can to help his faction, puts all his faith into the slogan "Faction over Blood".  

• Marcus Eaton- I think Marcus is like a breif case. On the outside, it looks like a harmless piece of luggage with no danger attached to it. But on the inside, you don't kow what you'll find. It could be anything. This is how Marcus is. He looks like a simple, harmless Abnegation leader who only wants good. But you later find out he is Tobias' father. The same man who would beat Tobias for being different, and would go after very dangerous information on the world outside the fence. He isn't as innocent as he seems.
