Kent was supposedly killed by a snake bite while he was fishing. Neil also died because they blew up his boat and Dan was blinded. The reason behind all that was Frank David. Dan had nothing left both his brothers were dead and his parents. He was blind and could not do what he loved but he still continued to find a reason worth living for everyday. I would think that by all that has happened to him he would also commit suicide because he has nothing left. The boys could not go to town because they were not allowed. “The snake venom had bleached the boy’s pupils white, and the skin around his eye sockets had required grafts. The surgeons had to use skin from his buttocks, and because his buttocks were hairy, the skin around his eyes began to grow hair, too” (Franklin 187). He still continued to live although people would come to Kirxy’s store just to see the hermit with the milky, hairy eyes. Life is about finding a meaning everyday to get up in the morning and continue on with your day. These boys did not have much but somehow found a way to get up every day and continue with their life doing what they love. Life surprises you every day you never know what could happen. The Gates brothers must of never imagined their parents dieing or even Dan never thinking that his brothers would die and he would go blind. You just have to find way to keep on moving forward and not letting any obstacle get in your way.
