It just chooses randomly. It explained why she was so afraid while watching the movie. This is how I think of cancer. It has no predetermined plan. It does not matter if you are old or young. I had a perfect life. It was a bubble that could not be pierced(刺入) by unhappiness. No one died, and no one was sick; we were all happy and loving life. Then I found out my grandfather had cancer. No matter how much I told myself he would live, somehow I still felt as if it was a death sentence. He was so young, only 63. He fought so hard. Whenever I feel my own life taking a turn for the worse, as if things would never get better, I remember how many years he lived fighting such a scary and difficult disease. After he died, a grand gathering is held for him. All his friends and relatives attended it. It is a traditional Irish wake. They ate and drank and celebrated Grandpas life. He died with dignity, surrounded by loved ones. I honestly dont know how I coped. I never cried alone. I had the compassion of my friends and the support of my family and teachers. I just remembered my grandfathers wish that we should celebrate his life after he passed away. Thats how we came up with the idea for Hives for Lives - a business my sister and I started where all the profits go to the American Cancer Society. We sell honey, honeycombs, beeswax candles, and lip balms, which all come from our beehives in Virginia. 26. Why was the authors friend so afraid while watching the movie? A.
