Issues of Events

In the novel Bar Code a 16 year old girl, named Kayla witnesses a tragedy with her father. As she was on her way home there was a lot of people at her house wondering what was happening. Kayla's father Joseph had just died because he rejected getting the tattoo of the bar code. This event can be similar to my life when i was 7 years old. When i was 7 i witnessed the death of my aunt all from a bad illness. My aunt's name was Carrie and she had passed on from Leukemia, an infection in the bone marrow. So from this novel the event in Kayla's life was similar in mine because at young ages we both lost a family member.
