*Authors Note: This is a reflection piece on a quote from the book I’m reading called "The Rules of the Road" by Joan Bauer. The quote is taken place in the story, after a very important friend of a woman named Mrs. Gladstone, passes away. Mrs. Gladstone is talking to Jenna, her driver, about just giving up on a mission they've been trying to accomplish because of this friends passing.* 

"I just know things happen more than I'd like because the world has got more than its share of problems."

          These wise words spoken by Mrs.Gladstone, shows that she is not an old pathetic woman, like she might come off as. She is wise and strong minded; she learned so much and knows as much as you can about life. Although she does come across problems throughout her life time, these words were taken place during one of those problems. She was about to give up on something that held the most importance to her life and this quote does resembled, not only intelligence and wisdom, but also not giving up, through these words show that you can’t always have things your way you can tell that Mrs. Gladstone was exhausted with all the problems that have occurred lately, and her close friend passing, took her off the edge. 

                Mrs. Gladstone was an older lady that had cared a lot about people that cared about her and she had faced her problems in life just like everyone else but she of all people do not under any circumstance put up with any nonsense ever, and that is how she is known by the public.

               Although, this quote almost shows her giving up, and not being one of those tough women like she normally is. Mrs. Gladstone is wise and does end up coming to her senses with a little help from Jenna. This quote is when Mrs. Gladstone really got put off the edge by all of the drama occurring and what saved her from making a big career mistake.

             However, this quote is appealing to me because she is such a tough strong hearted person, that no one could have pictured her quieting. So to me, the quote reassures all readers that even the toughest people, have their problems.
