Be Thankful For ALL That You Have
This book really does make me be thankful for pretty much everything that I have. It makes me realize that my life is very easy compared to all the hardships and family losses that the people in the war had. The war is still continuing and is still going to continue for lots of years, unless we put a stop to it and fine the leaders in charge of capturing children and making them fight in the war. The grandma references an old man in Kabati that said "We should strive to be like the moon"-this means that people need to always be on their best behaviors and be good to others, because we never know how their life is and what we say could affect them in any way possible.
