In the first section of this book they describe Kira s flaws and how her family is gone and so she must care for herself. her society views her differently and cruedly. They view her as someone who cannot care for herself even though she does everyday. The people who are crippled and cannot care for themselves get sent to the field where they are taken and not returned. Her mother stopped them before but now shes on her own. The society is very high pressure to stay fit and be able to care for yourself, especially women.
This society reminds me of other societies as well, ours is actually kind of like this. We see the people who are unable to care for them selves and kinda just throw them away. We put them in nursing homes and other homes, or leave them in hospitals. We don't pay attention to them and just honestly shun them and deem them not worthy to live among us. This book is a great comparison of this by a long shot. In the end Kira finds the home of all the crippled people and realize they have worked among themselves to live. The people we just toss out do the same thing by working together to maintain happiness and life.
