New Home!

In the book Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry now many things had happened. In the last chapter that I had read now Kira has her new guardian Jamison that will defend her from what the council of guardians says. After what the council of guardian had decide, Kira went to see matt that was waiting for her. Matt had save some things before they burned Kira´s house. Kira was staring a new life, she had a house and food and friend too. Also she had a work and now she was going to visit Annabelle. Annabelle teach Kiras mother and no that her mother did she was going to learn.




"She had always known shw would not marry-her twisted leg made it an imposibleility; she could never be a good wife, could never preform the many duties required- but certainly she could manage alone." (lowry,58)

In Kira society many people see Kira as a different person because of her twisted leg, many people discriminate her and think that she cannot do anything, the Council of Guardians see it that way. They think that Kira cannot take care of herself. Even she thinks that she cannot do what other do. kira may be very special but because she can see colors on a society were only a few have this gift.  Kira is different to all the society because she is stronger than other she faces more problems and that makes her stronger. But people don’t realize that and they think she doesn’t belong to the society. That is the differences that people just think they are normal were they don’t now haw different they are from each other.

"She was remenbering herself, very small, finding that her fingers had a kind of magic to them when she held the colored theads, seeing her mother´s astonishment and the look on the face of the guardian." (lowry,70)

  

Kira is a very special girl, I found very interesting this quote because you can understand that except that she has problems with her leg she has like a power that defines who she really is. when at visiting the guardians she always have her hands on her pockets and when she mention that she can see color and that her mother had teach her art the guardian had a strange face like it wasn’t normal the word "colors". I think that she will discover that she has a special kind of magic that will help her go throw all the problems she will face.


This last that I have read is becoming very interesting now there are more problems and how we star discovering new thing about Kira´s world and all around her. I have connected that one of the themes is pain and pleasure just like in the giver because you can see how Kira lives with her problem of her leg an she is discriminated she is look different from others while  the guardians that have more power and abuse their power.  This is very similar to the giver because also in Jonas community there is also abuse of power. I will keep reading to see what happens next.....
