springbreak+reading

During the spring break, I read the book through Chapter13. As honestly to myself, I don't really admire the book as much as I heard. The book is talking about a big family who lives in a swampland. There are three kids- Kiwi, Ossie, and Ava. They lost their mother, she died because of cancer. After a while, Kiwi left swamp to the mainland because he wants to get into college. Ossie even begins dating with a ghost boyfriend--Louis Thanksgiving. And left Ava all alone. And Ava meets a bird man and they are going to find Ossie. The main point is we live on the mainland, we go to school and we have vacations after that. But for the kids in swampland, they couldn't get as much education as we do. First, I feel lucky that I live on the mainland. Besides studying, I don't need to worry too much as the swamp kids do. During the time that Chief leaves for business, the kids even have struggle with the food. And Kiwi has to make his own money in order to get to the school. All that things, we are more further beyond than them. We go to school but we don't need to pay by ourselves. We get education instead of taking care hundreds of alligators. We are more luckier than they are.
