Kear In The Long Run

This book was overall very interesting, moving, and inspiring. It shows readers the struggles that others have in their lives, it shows what it means to truly live their life and it shows life from a different point of view, a life that most people wouldn’t even think about or take into consideration. Readers learn that life is short, difficult, and sometimes has more challenges than one would think, but in the long run, it’s all worth it. Once Kear was diagnosed with her degenerative eye disease, she was determined to make changes, big ones. She changed her entire persona. Rather than being the quiet bookworm, she was now a spunky, free-spirited, wild card who went out and looked for adventure and fun. Kear went to see the world because
She knows very well that one day she could wake up and it could all be gone and she knows that as it continues to get worse, she needs more help and has to be more careful. She has to be more careful with her kids, she has to be careful what shoes she wears, she has to be careful at night when her vision is at its worst. She has to take so many more things into consideration which is so interesting to hear. Millions of people go through their days not having to worrying about stepping on dead animals as Kear does, or about running their baby’s stroller into benches or into other people because she can’t see them. It makes readers consider what type of life style she has to live. It moves them and makes them have empathy for her; they now see how she has to live with the constant fear of losing something so important and the fears of being a mother. They see that someone else has things a lot harder than them which moves them to feel empathetic for her, though she never asks for it. Kear’s book is an interesting, moving, and inspiring piece. It has readers laughing and loving life while at the same time still questioning when they’re truly going to start living
