Now that we have finished reading Gilda Stories I found out that I liked the book much more than I thought I would. Gilda really becomes a character that you enjoy and can relate to. Her character grew from an innocent girl to aquiring a lot of knowledge and passing it along. Although at times Gilda's actions did seem selfish, that only made her more like us because people can also we selfish at times. Through reading this story it gave a look at the past and a view of what the future could be, although this future looks very dreary.

A main point of this story was the sense of belonging and family. I think that sometimes people can also struggle for this kind of bond with other people, we all want to feel like we belong to something, and people sometimes search forever for that sense of belonging just as Gilda did. This story also pointed out that stereotypes should mean nothing and that they should not stand in anybody's way, if you want something and feel as you belong there nothing should stop you.
