My Sisters Keeper

     The quote "It is the things you cant see coming that are strong enough to kill you." (pg186) For an odd reason this quote really makes me think about our entire Coming Of Age unit. But also I think of something to keep in your mind through life. Th person who is saying this quote is Sarah who is the mother of a child fighting leukemia, and a daughter fighting rights of her body.

      For Coming of Age this quote makes me think of a lot of dangerous things in the beginning. Sometimes when we are growing up we make silly mistakes, somethings we wished we never did. With this quote I think figuratively the coming of age is what kills you. Eventually we all have to grow up sometimes we cant even see the more mature things we are doing . But overall for coming of age I think what the quote is saying is that growing up is a rough road but the things that we are not able to see that can kill us is what makes us stronger. After that thing kills us we get stronger.

       Also this next quote also makes me think about coming of age."It may be Kate's pond, but these are my lilly pads." I feel that this quote can work with coming of age because it shows that your parents are always there for you. For example when you are teens and you get angry with you parents its like the world is over they hate you and they don't love you. Reading this book and watching the characters come of age we were all wrong.  Parents do love you even when you do the craziest things in the world. Overall reading this book I feel that is is a great way for a child to come of age.
