I think the things Katie would do in her path of life would be affected a lot by Lynn and her death because they were really close siblings. Lynn always told Katie that she would live in the house by the sea in California and she's going to buy 7 houses for her parents if they wanted when she grows up. Lynn also said she wants to go to the college in Chicago. But Lynn passed away so she can't. Thus, Katie would do that instead of her to make her still feel happy. Katie would also be doing things that Lynn wished to do when she was alive. I think there's a big possibility for Katie to be a rocket scientist or a famous writer because those are what Lynn wanted to be.

Katie was being really nice and trying her best for Lynn because she was seriously sick. She slept only a little everyday, was really tired and even had dark circles under her eyes. But one night, Lynn ordered Katie to bring her milk, so Katie did. But Lynn took one sip of milk and said she wants water. Katie got mad and brought water in a soapy cup. Lynn got mad at that again and she flung the glass to the floor. Katie told her she's ruining everything in the new house. Lynn looked hurt for a moment, but soon got angry again. This made their relationship worse, and it shows that Lynn's sensitive and getting angry easily because she's sick and she can't do everything she wants, and also she's going through adolescence.

Abrogiene Coming of age

Abrogiene is located in center of Australia. Abroginal weather is kind of unique and harsh. It's summer from Dec-Feb and winter from June-August. There's a coming of age ceremony for boys during age 10-12. The girls also have it but it's not well-known because they do it secretly. The most important thing during coming of age for boys is to be brave, get power and turn into manhood from boyhood. The surprising fact I learned is that the boys are not allowed to hang out with girls or women during coming of age.
