Love

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place. And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love. Always choose love.”- from Daniel’s Story by Carol Matas

In a book that I just finished, is an example of one of the character choosing love. The book is called The Colossus Rises. Its about a boy, (Jack), who has a gene that relates him to Atlantis and he could die really soon. Luckily for him, he meets someone who could help him, under some weird circumstances and meets some people around his age who have the same gene as him. Jack and his friends then go on some scary adventures to find all of the lost loculi, before their time runs out.

During one of their adventures, Jack and his friends lost Marco, (one of the friends). They reported back to Professor Bhegad, the person who is helping them, and he was going to send a search team to find Marco. Jack and his friends then told Professor Bhegad that they should go and look for Marco, since they were family. I think this shows that Jack and the others chose to look for him instead of the search team, because they love him like a family. They choose love instead of letting strangers find him and they also felt that they owed him, since they were family and he got lost by protecting them from a beast. I also think that showed Marco picking love in order for him to protect them from the beast.

This is also a really good book! I enjoyed reading it and it also is an easy read and fast paced book. I hope everyone enjoys this book!
