Kira's mom died from illness in a burning house. Her mothers death had nothing to do with Kira, but the rule where they live is that who ever might have killed the dead person must be killed. Kira obviously didn't kill her mother, because she is really upset about it, but the government is trying to kill her because they assume that she is the murderer. This reminds me of now, because a lot of the time, innocent people get arrested. I think this is because the government just wants to feel like they've done their job.
I think that the way Kira handles her mothers death is good. Of course she is upset, but she knows that sobbing isn't going to get her anywhere, so she forces herself to start her life over, and not show the pain she's feeling, it also makes her appear stronger. The reason I think this relates to the real world, is because if you appear strong, and confident, it is less likely that people will pick on you, or mess with you.
In conclusion, Even science fiction books relate to the time they were written. The author of science fiction books are living in the present time, so they have to get their ideas from their life. Next time you read a book that has parts that seem crazy, think about how the author got the idea, and what it is similar to, in everyday life.
It's great that you have an idea of the plot when you just began. I think this shows that pay attention to details while you're reading. Also your post had great thinking.
ReplyDeleteI like how you related the book's issues with present day life because it shows that you understand what the book is trying to show you c:
