In Australia, spring begins in September, so for the Irwins, the new season began with unspeakable sadness. As the dust settled, though, a new beginning slowly and steadily took shape. To start fresh with hearts so badly broken was incredibly difficult, but it was also necessary. Terri and the kids were determined to do it for their supporters and fans, for wildlife everywhere and, of course, for Steve. How would readers most likely connect this excerpt to their own lives?

2. By understanding how hard it is to carry on after losing a loved one.

The excerpt is from "Let Bindi Have The Limelight" from the book Steve and Bindi Irwin by Amy Breguet. The book details the life of the animal conservationist and his family's determination to continue with his work even after his accidental death.

The passage narrates how the start of the new season was one that began with "unspeakable sadness" due to the death of father and main pillar for everyone, Steve Irwin. He had been hit in the chest by a stingray, which immediately killed him. And so, for the whole family to continue with his legacy of conservation was a hard and difficult, almost impossible task to do. Thus, the given passage can relate the readers with the loss of a loved one, even with the need to continue with his life's work and aim.
