Author's note: This is a retelling summary about the book "The Roar". It's purpose is to retell the main points.

     On a futuristic Earth children are raised in crammed and boarded up apartments, and they don't get much of anything to live on, so they must scrap together as much happiness as they can. A young boy has lost his sister and is determined to find her. He discovers that she is in space he knows that he will have to go through the cruel government to get to his sister back.

Quote

Author's Note: This is a quote that I had to right a little response to.

"It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end." -Leonardo Da Vinci

     This quote means that if you have bad habits you must change them earlier rather than later. If you have a bad habit when you are 10 it's much easier to change when its just getting started rather than when you have been doing it for 20 or so years. Also this quote means that if you don’t like how the course of your life looks you better change it as early as possible because if you want to change your life at the age of 30 it'll be much harder than changing at 15.

     I strongly agree with this quote because it states that it's easier to resist at the beginning that at the end. That’s true because, if you ask two people with the same amount of will power to quit smoking. If one of them has been smoking for 1 month and the other has been smoking for years. It'll be much easier to stop after a month than a few years.

     Additionally this quote reminds me of the DARE class that everyone took in 5th grade because the officer that taught the class always told us to never start bad habits. He explained that bad habits are difficult to stop. Although it is easier to stop earlier rather than later.
