Reading Response

 

I have just started the book Kisses From Katie and I’m loving the book! Its about a girl, Katie, who does something so incredible. This girl, Katie, starts off like an ordinary girl, an ordinary teenager who goes to school and lives a normal life. One night without even knowing, her life would change with just one decision. On the night on her birthday she decides to go out to eat with her parents. During the fun night, she brings up a decision that she wants to do, and would eventually change her life. She said that she wanted to Africa to do mission work, the sound at her table with her parents drew silent, with no sound. After a while her parents responded with “maybe, we’ll think about it”. After a while Katie would just not stop thinking about Africa. Her parents finally said that she could go. On the day that she left she went with her mom, and the minute she stepped into the village, and the orphanage she instantly fell in love by the culture and the people around her. She spent two weeks in the village and the orphanage, and she knew that she was supposed to stay here forever, maybe. At the end of the two week trip she left in tears not knowing if she would return to this wonderful culture and the people. She knew as soon as she left Africa, she needed to return. So she insisted to her parents that she needed to return, and finally convinced her parents. She agreed to her parents that she would return to the states after one whole year. She went on the trip and she already loved the place! She stayed and fell in love with the place. She, in the story tell us about some of the journey’s and difficulties that she had during the time that she has been there.

There are a lot of sentences that I’m thinking of the perfect inference. One of them was when she said that she didn’t simply care for the people , she wanted to advocate them. I’m thinking for an inference and some ideas that popped to my head. On one part of the story says “I didn’t want to only love the children, but I wanted to advocate for them”. I think that its saying that she wanted to stand up for them, and she would protect them from anything that would be danger, or something that would harm them.

This book is absolutely amazing, I think, because it tests Katie’s faith, but she never stops to trust and follow God’s plan, which I think would be hard, knowing that you a in a country that doesn’t even speak your language. But thats why shes such a good example because she never stops to trust him. And she was obedient to God’s call that He placed on her life.
