The most important line from chapter ten in Divergent by Veronica Roth is on page 116 where it says, "I used to look forward to that day. I used to think about what I would say to my mother and father when I was allowed to ask them questions at the dinner table." (Roth 116). In this line, Tris is talking about the time when initiates will be able to see their families for the first time since the choosing ceremony. Tris' parents did not approve her choice to move to Dauntless from Abnegation, so she doubt that her parents will come see her. This is an important line because it characterizes Tris in that she is doubtful and somewhat disappointed in her parents for not supporting her decision. I know this because on page 117, it says, "I clench my teeth as the tears come. I am fed up." (Roth 117). This line is showing how Tris reacts to the though of her parents not wanting to see her.
