Summary and Authors purpose

Summary//End of "Counting by 7's
          I recently finished the book "Counting by 7's". I come to the end of  the book and really enjoyed how it ended. "Life goes on". Those words are the last of counting by 7's. Just by reading "Life goes on" it explains more than you think. You may go through the worst times of your life, you may tend to have tragedies that you want to prevent but sometimes "If your lost,you might need to swim against the tide". Cherish every moment you have with your loved ones because you never know what types of situations can occur in a blink of an eye. Thats what Willow had to encounter. Reading Counting by 7's made me realize that nothing last forever. Theres times in your life when you will deal with tough situations, but you have to be strong and know that "Life goes on". With the help of Dell Duke, Mai,Quang-ha, and Pattie Willow was able to have support and focus on the present and future instead of the past. I personally would recommend this to anybody. It honestly touched me in a way a book has never had. Maybe it can do the same to yours.

Authors Purpose
I think that the book counting by 7's has two Authors Purposes. Inform and to Entertain. Inform because Willow teaches and explains many things throughout the book. In the book on page  377  Willow states " I think that at every stage of living , there are many people how matter in your world. "They are people who are inside you". "They are people you rely on". "They are people who change your daily life". From reading that I can infer as a reader that Willow is trying to prove something. Entertain because the book has happy moments, and sad moments.  For example in the beginning of the book it gets straight to the point. Its on page 8 when everything starts to fall for Willow. "Theres been an accident involving your parents". "After whispers comes the news that the two people I love the most in the world are gone forever are now gone". I know as a reader that this is upsetting and sad. Reading this gave me the chills. Questions popped through my head. "How would I react to something like this?" "Who would support me?".
