The Data
(1) The Choosing Ceremony will be tomorrow at the Hub. (page 6)

(6) It feels like the entire city is rushing past me in a blur, the buildings blending together. (page 7)
(7) The building smells like cooked food and smoke and sweat. (page 8)
(8) I feel strange, standing in this dank place that smells like live bodies and smoke, among these empty cans that suggest poverty and the failure to fit in. (page 11)

(10) Your Choosing must be coming up tommorow, for you to look so worried (page 12)
(11) I get up, brushing flecks of cement from my gray slacks, and push the door open. (page 13)
(12) I pull up straight, tall, so that he can’t scold me for slouching. (page 13) (13) But I learned something else from watching her too, which is that the free
(14) I cross the room, stepping carefully over a stack of papers on the carpet, and sit where he points, right on the edge of the cushion so I can stand up quickly. (page 14)
(15) I don’t even think about refushing to tell him. (page 14) (16) I’m sure you have some thinking to do. (page 15) (17) I can see it happening to me (page 17)
(18) It looked like falling water, but it was really glass, perfectly clear, polished, flawless. (page 18)
(19) Instead of thinking about my aptitude test result, I pick up each object and turn it in my hands so I’ve memorized every part of every one. (page 18) (20) But instead of reaching for me, he bends down and pulls the trunk from
beneth the bed, tries the lid. (page 20)
(21) I know better than to think he’ll leave and mull things over and come back apologizing. (page 21)
(22) “It’s your Choosing Day, after all.” (page 22) (23) “It’s your Choosing Day, after all.” (page 22)
(24) The thought feels like poison working through me. (page 23)

(27) He finishes reading the news the Erudite release every morning, and I finish washing my own dishes, and we walk out of the house together without
speaking. (page 25)
(28) Beside me, Marcus wipes beads of sweat from his forehead, and all the other Abnegation close their lips to keep from breathing to loudly, lest they appear to be complaining. (page 26)
(29) We reach the right floor, and everyone pauses to catch their breath before entering. (page 26)
(30) I can almost see my father pressing his lips together with disdain at such a typical Dauntless speech. (page 27)
(31) Well, I didn’t see him limping around the kitchen this morning. (page 28) (32) The ceremony is moving too fast. (page 29)
(33) In them we find our sense of belonging, our sense of community, our very lives. (page29)
(34) But as I look at the people sitting in the section, in their reds and yellows, I see only whole, healed people, capable of cheering one another, capable of supporting one another. (page 29)
(35) Gregory Zellner holds his bleeding hand over the bowl of dirt, to choose Amity. (page 29)
(36) She accepts her knife with shaking hands and cuts her palm, and holds her hand over the Abnegation bowl. (page 30)
(38) Her hair is pulled back, and I can see a tattoo creeping over her collarbone, toward her throat. (page 31)
(39) I have to clench my teeth to keep myself from apologizing as I elbow people a side, and the momentum of the crowd presses me up the steps. (page 34) (40) Standing off to the side are the Erudite boy from before, an Amity girl, two
Candor boys, and a Candor girl. (page 39)
(41) I grew up here, and three years ago, I passes initiation with flying colors, which means I get to be in charge of the newcomers for as long as I want. (page42)
(42) Amar announces without looking up. (page 43)
(43) She stands, looking dorn and suffles out of the room without waiting for Amar to dismiss her. (page 46)
(44) Searing, white –hot pain rushes through me, just for a second. (page 48) (45) Someone who doesn’t put up with cutting comments from Erudite
know-it-alls. (page 55)
(46) The training room smells like effort, like sweat and dust and shoes. (page 59)
(47) I didn’t know to beat her without hitting her, and I couldn’t hit her –at least, not until she had me in a choke hold and my vision was starting to go black at the edges. (page 59-60)
(49) “Joining a faction is about more than getting through initiation, you know,” Amar says, and he hooks his fingers in the chain that the punching bag dangles from, testing its strength. (page 60-61)
(50) Sitting across from me is Zeke, the first jumper, and a girl with brown hair and bangs cut straight across her forehead, and pierced lip. (page 62)

(53) I’m not going to back out of the dare, not after watching everyone else do theirs. (page 73)
(54) “If I get in trouble for turning on lights at this hour, I’m going to claim it was vandals and name names.” (page 73)
(55) Rubbing alcohol bites into the still –healing skin of my back, and I wince. (page 76)
(56) The Abnegation say, in hushed voices, that the problem with many Erudite is their selfishness, but I think it is their arrogance, the pride they take in knowing things that others do not. (page 80)
(57) I keep getting humiliated in the arena. (page 82) (58) “Do you miss living at home?” I say. (page 84)
(59) She stops wiping her forehead with the back of her hand. (page 85)
(60) He tells us to sit against the wall, and then dissapears behind the door without saying anything. (page 88)
(62) He scolded me for embarrassing him in front of the Abnegation all the time, but he had never hissed warnings in my ears or taught me how avoid a misstep before. (page 97)
(63) I feel pain and my pounding heart and I kick as hard as I can, hitting only air. (page 91)
(64) I never tire of seeing inside a person’s mind-every detail suggests so much. (page 104)
(65) I must have succeeded at pretending to be normal, because he doesn’t look worried anymore. (page 104)
(66) I grind my teeth, I jump at small noises, my hands go numb without warning. (page 106)
(67) Usually he looks like he’s constantly on the verge of making a joke, but not right now. (page 107)
(68) We gather by the chasm, and Zeke passes me a cup of dark liquid, and I swallow it all without thinking. (page 109)
(69) I think losing his grandparents really took a toll on him. (page 110)
(70) I went into the examination thinking I didn’t care anymore, not about passing, not about doing well, not about being Dauntless. (page 112)
(71) The others, like Zeke and Shauna, grew up surrounded by Dauntless community, and to them the silence and the stillness of living alone would be unbearable. (page 121)
(73) “The remaining four of us think it would be a good idea to get some new blood in leadership. (page 124)
(74) “ The training program will last at least a year,” Max says. (page 124) (75) “Training will start very soon –tomorrow morning, in fact.” (page 124) (76) I nod without thinking. (page 124)
(77) I may have an aptitude for fighting, but that doesn’t mean I want to do it all day, every day. (page 125)
(78) Beating him up again isn’t going to prove that he’s a faction traitor. (page 129)
(79) I sit in one of the rickety chairs, hard, without moving my eyes from the paper. (page 145)
(80) Zeke mentioned the control room’s lacation in passing a few days ago. (page 146)
(81) I don’t object, even though I didn’t find out what I needed to know –it was my own fault for getting distracted anyway. (page 150)
(82) The streets that surround the Dauntless sector of the city are empty; my faction lives hunddled together, like a pack of sleeping dogs. (page 152) (83) “Four, how would you improve Dauntless, if not by making initiation more
competitive?” (page 170)
(85) But then I stopped allowing myself to dream, because it was more painful to long for things and never get them than to deal with whatever was in front of me. (page 164-165)
(86) Watching someone else’s fear simulation is strange. (page 200) (87) I’ll have to start by telling her my name. (page 229)
