Free Four: Tobias Tells the Divergent Knife-Throwing Scene

In my experience, Alt POVs fall into 1 of two categories - 1. Pretty useless or 2. Pretty good. To land in the latter, the alt pov has to add something to the story emotionally. And it really depends on how well the author has fleshed out the character and whether he/she has picked a scene that has potential relevance. Happy to say this one falls into the ‘pretty good' column. Veronica Roth picked a great scene - one that wasn't sappy or was full of teen whining. It let us see what Tobias thought about numerous things going on around him. It wasn't just about Tris.
