Based on this weeks reading I visiualized how kira were when her mother died. She did not have any family that she can go to and live with. On the other hand, she decided to live alone by herself and build her own house. She missed her mother and her father because she lost him too. in this book it is shown how she wants to be independent, she said “I want to rebuild my home” (Lowry 5). Overall, she had no family to turn to, so she wanted to be independent.
