YOLO !

In the book gathering Blue by Lois Lowry, Kira had lost her mother and became an orphan. Her father never came back from the beasts; her mother had died of a unexpected sickness. Kira has a twisted leg but that didn’t affect her to keep going. After her mother died she went to the city to see the powerful Council of Guardians. In the way to the city many women start discriminating Kira, and telling her she doesn’t belong here. Then she went to see the guardians so they can decide whether she stays in the city or not. The guardians said that she cannot defend herself. And they appoint her a defense and now she didn’t have family neither home.

"As for Kira, she had no family, now. Nor any home. The cott she had shared with her mother had been burned. This was always done after sickness. The small structure, the only home Kira had ever known, was gone. (Lowry, 2)"

I my opinion what Lois Lowry was wrote in this quote haves a lot in common with purpose of live. What this quote is saying for me that everyone have problems their ups and downs in life, but not because they seem like the worst thing we are going to give up on our live and all the goals we have achieved. These up´s and down´s are what makes us stronger and gives us strength to be better each day. I connect this quote with my life because I learn a lot by giving all each day and always standing strong no matter what. 

 "He ignored her outburst. Or we will appoint a defender on your behalf. One of us will defend you, using our grater wisdom and experience. Take a moment to think about this, because your life may depend upon it Kira. (Lowry, 28)

In this quote I can understand that sometimes people that have more "power" don’t listen other like they shod. This is an example of how they don’t listen to what Kira says. The council of guardians thinks that because Kira is orphan and haves a twisted leg she cannot take care of herself. The difference between Kira and the Council of Guardians is that they think that having differences like kira doesn’t having family she is different from the other and treat her differently. But they don’t understand that she wants to keep on with her life and they cannot see it because they don’t listen to what other have to say.

I had learn one thing that have teach me a lot, the theme that I think is very important is that no matter how bad your life is going there is always a bright side to look. This have show me that "YOLO (you only live once)" and you need to take advantages of the things you have and look always to the bright side of the thing in live. I have enjoy a lot this few chapters and I predict that now that Kira have her own protector she will get very close to him and be good friends. And from now on Kira will star to learn new things and fight for what she wants. Nothing will stop her to get what she wants and to fight for her believes.
