The second stage has finally come to Tris and her other opponents. It is said that no one can prepare for the second stage, and that is very true. For this stage, each person is hooked up to the same machine that determined what faction is suited best for them. But this time, they will be injected with a substance that will soon provide a hallucination (basically a simulation). In this simulation, they will be in a situation that involves their fears. Everything they encounter will try to haunt and scare them. In one of Tris's, she is drowning in a tank. Each person takes 4 of these tests over next week. They are ranked by the amount of time it takes them to calm down in the simulation, which allows them to come back to the real world. After all of the simulations are over, the ranks are put up and Tris is first.
The reason Tris is first is because she is Divergent. This allows her to change the simulations and escape them quicker than everyone else. I believe this will benefit her in the long run, but also hurt her. If you are Divergent and they find you, you are immediately killed. It doesn't tell you why but I predict that the Divergents are capable of doing something dangerous, such as overthrowing the government. Right now, I think that Tris will find other Divergent people and they will work together to figure out why being Divergent is so dangerous. Also, I believe the government will discover them and they must fight them in order to survive. She can't just be Divergent and then have nothing happen because of it. There has to be something big about being Divergent, and I'm very curious to find out what it is.

At this point, I've kinda had with it dystopian Hunger-Games-esque novels and movies. I have read this part of the plot with about 5 variations, and at one point, it gets too predictable.
