"I learned long ago that loss is not only probable but inevitable. I know what it means to lose everything, to let go of one life and find another. And now I feel, with a strange, deep certainty, that it must be my lot in life to be taught that lesson over and over again."
The first sentence of that quote is extremely powerful. It means that loss isn't just up to chance, but up to fate instead. It's not probable that we will lose someone or something in our life, it's inevitable. It's our fate in life to lose and to accept lost.
This quote can be used in the real world and work. People lose loved ones everyday and everyday something is lost. There's not a chance that we might not lose something because it's our fate to lose things. We will lose people we love, we will lose things we love, lost is inevitable.
This quote is very in touch with the story too. This quote can explain the character, Vivian very easily in this situation. She feels like everything in her life is lost, and she's saying this right before she gives away her baby. This quote can be in touch with orphans and young children without parents too. In my opinion this quote is very realistic in the sense that it can be seen in real life everyday.
Good real life connection, but you need more connection to the novel. Grade: 15/25
