Mariam and her siblings meet some friends along the way but are all ungratefully separated as the book goes on and the Turks try to win power.

Considering that Donna is more of a “wild child” and Tara is a “goody-good” I think they balance each other out. While Donna was smoking, stealing or having sex Tara was getting “lost in her mind”.
THe World State doesn't want people to give their people responsibility because they want, “Stability, No civilization without social stability. No social stability without individual stability,” (Huxley, 42).

I was never really encouraged to attempt to make my dreams a reality. Until recently, the most support I had received was “good luck”. Worse yet, were those who were quick to point out reasons why they thought it would be too difficult -too expensive, too time-consuming, etc. I know now that the challenges are part of the reasons why I want to be a nurse. I want to face challenges on a regular basis and overcome them so that I can continue to learn and grow.
