Faction Three: Dauntless

Read the excerpt from the passage:

When I look at the Abnegation lifestyle as an outsider, I think it’s beautiful. When I watch my family move in harmony; when we go to dinner parties and everyone cleans together afterwards without having to be asked; when I see Caleb help strangers carry their groceries. I fall in love with this life all over again. It’s only when I try to live it myself that I have trouble. It never feels genuine. But choosing a different faction means I forsake my family. Permanently.
