Friendship Quotes in Four

Quote #7

"I'm surprised you didn't choose to room with your fellow former initiates. You did make some friends, didn't you?" (3.7)

Even though Four has made friends by this point, he'd still rather keep them at a safe distance. Living with someone is a step he's not yet willing to take.

Quote #8

If the factions are deteriorating, as my mother would have me believe, this is not a bad place to watch them fall apart. At least here I have friends to keep me company while it happens. (3.355)

Four's friends are like the net at the bottom of the Pit—even when something scary is about to happen, like a difficult choice Four has to make about his future—his friends will be there to catch him.

Quote #9

Then [Tris] turns and runs to catch up with her friends. (4.294)

This is a nice contrast between Tris and Four. She makes friends fairly quickly into her initiation, unlike Four. For him, friendship was one of the hardest parts of the whole ordeal.
