Man in black

Today is chosing day. I dont kmow what to choose. Dauntless or Erudite.  I can't choose my home faction, Candor, because I can't tell about my past. I think about what I will choose as I walk with my mother on my right and my father on my left. As we enter the choosing room, I'm certain of what I will choose. I stand in line next to an Amity girl, who keeps fidgeting with her bracelet, and an abnegation girl, who just stands there looking at the ceiling. I will be going fourth. Jeanine Mathews stands in front of 5 bowls. I will be dropping my blood into one of those 5 bowls.

Either the Erudite water or the Dauntless coals.

   When Jeanine starts to talk, every murmur stops. She explians how we got one out of five factions as a resault of the aptitude test. We are encouraged strongly to choose that faction, but we have the right to choose. I have to choose on of the three factions that I got as a result. I have to choose between Dauntless, Condor, or Erudite. After she finishes her speech, Marcus Eaton, the leader of Abnegation and our government, steps up and give a brief speech, and starts to call out names.

  " Samantha Adams," he calls. I step up in front of the five bowls. In front of thoose bowls are a knife and a tissue. I grab the knife, lay the shrap end on my palm, and jerk my hand back so that there is a little gash. The pian receeds in a few seconds. I keep my palm up so the blood doesnt drip in the wrong bowl. I wait a few seconds to make sure that I get the right faction. I put my palm over the last bowl to the left and let my blood land on the hot coals.

  " Dauntless" Marcus calls.
