Response on Kira-Kira chapters 14-16

I think that Katie will try very hard in school and eventually go to college. Katie loved Lynn and therefore she wants to live up to Lynn's wish and try hard in school. I also think that Katie will eventually do everything that her sister wanted to do which was to buy many houses for her parents and live by the sea. When Lynn died, everything Lynn wanted to do could not be done by her, therefore Katie wants to make her proud and do those things. All in all, I think Katie will fulfill Lynn's dreams because Lynn cant fulfill them herself.

Chapters 12-13 Kira-Kira Response

I think the moth was a symbol which meant that Lynn was about to die. I think Lynn knew what the moth that flew in meant and that is why she watched it and went to sleep. It represents death because moths are blank and dreary animals and this could show death.

Change in Ceremonies Over Time

I was surprised when I found out how different ceremonies are now from back a long time ago. The San people's coming of age ceremony used to be a hunt to show their strength, but now it has changed into a long dance. This surprised me because I didn't think that ceremonies would change drastically over the years.
