Keeping the Moon Post #2- Connecting to the World

My next post I am going to do is connecting to the world. In Keeping the Moon Colie, as you know, was fat. When she is living with her aunt, Colie notices that people treat her aunt the same way they did whan Colie was fat. (Aunt Mira is fat)And Colie starts getting mad and embarrased for Mira because she doesnt do anything about it. When Aunt Mira isnt around, COlie hears her neighbors talking about her, about how she dresses, and her old run-down bike. Colie asks Mira how she puts up with they way they treat her, and that what they say must hurt so much since she had to go through it to. But all Mira says is that it doesnt hurt her and never has.
"Look at me, Colie," she said, gesturing down at her big yellow shirt and leggings, her little purple high-tops. "I've always known who I am. I might not work perfectly, or be like them, but that's okay. I know I work in my own way."
I am connecting this little scene to the world because this happens so much in everyones life. I have witnessed people talking about other people behind there backs, and all the mean stuff they say. I am sure everyone has seen this too. Everyone, one way or another, has had this happen to them. Some people keep it to themselves and dont do anything about it like Aunt Mira did. Or others will not put up with it and say something about it. I have heard a lot of people tell me not to change my apperance to impress somebody else. And I do things that I like to do, not someone else. Everyone in the world can relate to Colies and Aunt Miras conversation.
