Character Compare/Contrast: Book: Insurgent by Veronica Roth Characters: Beatrice (Tris) Prior & Peter Hayes The characters that will be compared/contrasted are Tris Prior and Peter Hayes. These two characters were chosen because they don’t have anything in common and they don’t enjoy being in each other's company. Some things that are different between them are the way they view the world, the way that they act upon jealousy, and if they would save you from dying/getting hurt. One way that Tris and Peter are different is that Peter is constantly jealous of others and acts out of spite because of his jealousy, which normally has to do with violence. On the other hand, Tris is not a very jealous person because of the way that she was raised and how she sees the world. Also if Tris does get jealous she does not do anything to harm them, instead, she tries to make herself better or up to the other person's skill. I know this because at the beginning of the book Peter kept trying to hurt Tris all because he felt like she was better than him in some things, not even everything. …show more content…

He does not thank me, and I don’t acknowledge him.” (page 83, paragraph 1). I also know this because in the book Peter saves Tris from getting killed because he felt like he owed

The story shows that he learned this by him tricking the Nazis into thinking that Peter and his friends were just sledding while his risk was paying off by him secretly sneaking past the Nazis, smuggling gold in his sled. Peter led his group during his whole journey down the hill where he was sledding. This shows how he is a good leader and could help lead the group further in the story.

This paid off because he was able to move 9 million dollars in gold from an open space where the Nazis could easily get to, to a much more hidden space at the bottom of a huge hill, underneath the snowmen he built on top of the gold with his
