Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry is the second book in The Giver Quartet. Just like the first book, this book sets in the same future time.
In the future there's a villege, a confounded villege where no one can express freedom. People are drilled with chores, and heavily damaged in
many ways. Kira, a strong and courageous girl faces her life with audacity. Kira is born with a deformed leg. When her mother dies, she is left with
nothing. Her mother had taught her how to weave, work with thread since she was young. The skill of weaving "came" to her as long as she can remember and this ability allows her to land on an important job. Throughout the story, she meets friends who will help her to unfold the mystery which lies within.
The book left me wondering how the next stories would unfold. It seems as I was preparing and reading this story for something unbelievable ahead. It
made me think about the societies we live in, the rights we own, and how the goverment can affect those they govern. People have the right to know
the truth behind governing. The government should allow proper rights to its people and use power accordingly. Only then the society would function.
