Divergent Important Lines

One of the most important lines in chapter fifteen is, "'There is something I want you to do,' she says.  'I can't go visit your brother, but you can, when initiation is over. So, I want you to go find him and research the simulation serum. Okay? Can you do that for me?'" (Roth 187).  I think that this quote is important because it sparked my curiosity about why her mother wants her to research it. I imagine that it will help the plot develop, because it could be important later on in the book.  I was intrigued by the idea of a simulation serum.  I wonder what it would simulate.

Another important line from chapter fifteen is, "She has been to the compound before. She remembered this hallway. She knows about the initiation process. My mother was Dauntless."  (Roth 188).  I think that this line is important because Tris has just come to the realization that her mother was once in Dauntless before she was in Abnegation. This changes Tris' whole worldview and the especially the way she looks at her mom. Now two people, her brother and her mother, whom she thought were perfect Abnegation members were not. This could be important later in the book because it could make Tris more sure of her decision and less in conflict about it.
