To be brave or selfless, what does it take? In the book “Divergent,” one person stood out among the rest. Tobias Eaton, otherwise known as Four. With only four fears, he earned that byname. Tobias has always had a good heart; selfless, brave, peaceful, intelligent, and honest. He cares more about everyone else succeeding in their events, rather than his own.

At the same time, Tobias is the best trainer that Dauntless leaders can use for the soon-to-be Dauntless members. The best way he shows that to the novices is by example. Eric isn’t one of the appropriate people to demonstrate these few simple tasks. The few things he does for those transfers makes him intelligent. Also, brave enough to try and handle the people that have absolutely no idea what’s going on.
Honestly is not his best quality, but he did show some honesty about who he really is to his inamorata, Tris. He gave her all the...
