I am still currently reading Life As We Knew It by Susan Pfeffer, In this book death and food is a main issue.
In this world we see death not a ever-day thing where as in the world of Life As We Knew It
death is an everyday thing, dozens of people are dying per town and hundreds of thousands
of people are dying every second in the world of life as we knew it. People dying is not as
shocking as we know it is. We feel dying is scary, sad, mad, and in a way makes you feel
weak , like why didn't i try to stop this, why did this happen to me etc.... In the book the
characters feel the same things as we do but they are used to it. like someone died, oh ok,
they cry and its over with ,currently in the book 3-4 character already died, [many more
died but they weren't as important.]
Why are people dying ? Because of starvation, because they can not find food to eat, they
ran out, and the people on the edge of dying pray to god to live. Where do they go to pray?
they go to pray at a church where the Reverend asks for food for himself while the other
people around him cannot eat 1 meal a day, where as he eats 3 meals a day. Is that what you
call a Reverend ? Well to to me a Reverend puts people ahead him him and instead this
Reverend puts him first then others in need. This is not what you call a Reverend So many
people believed in him. So why did he do that? Did he just advantage of the people that
believed in so much like Megan ? Megan believed in the Reverend so much, that she gave up
eating and that same Reverend is eating, when instead he should have been helping out the
people in need. What do YOU think?
