"Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society...Literacy is a platform for demostration, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity...Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential." ---Kofi Annan

Vocabuary:
Cavort: (v.)
1. When people cavort, they leap about in a noisy and excited way.
2. Cavort is sometimes used by journalists to suggest that people were behaving in a playfully sexual way.
Nonchalant: (adj.)
1. If you describe someone as nonchalant, you mean that they appear not to worry or care about things and that they seem very calm.

2. "thud": Onomatopoeia, described the sound of the person falling to the ground.

Quote:
"'Your're right, Mother. It will never work with both of us still breathing.'"
This quote shows that Keenen realixed the contridiction of positions of himself and his mother, Beira. And in the book, this sentence led to all the action scene afterwards.

Theme:
When it's time for you to choose between selfish and selfless, make the rigth decision, be selfless.
