"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.” Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
This quote talks about how if one loses so much they resort to try things, previously they didn't think they would ever do. For example if a rich man loses millions of dollars and goes bankrupt he would be willing to take a part time job at a department store. That's what is happening in my book. In the book Stormbreaker, the main character, Alex Rider, loses his parents. After that his uncle has to take care of him, he also dies. After his uncle dies, his housekeeper jack Starbright is now his legal guardian. When M16 comes to him they tell him that he could either join them and have jack Starbright stay with him or be sent to a foster home if he had said no. He decided to say yes because he had already lost so much and then he would have been sent to a foster home so he said that he might as well because he really doesn't have much to lose. That is what the quote means. It says that considering the situation, it can only get better from there.
Good connection with your book! I like how you explained both sides and how they connect. Mainly I think you could improve on flow, such as removing the comment in the first sentence or replacing it with a word such as "that".
