Story: Blue Diamond 6. How do the following lines
contribute to the central message of the
short story? "Maybe there are no big reasons. Maybe people just stay alive because there's seventy years' worth of little reasons all
lined up one after another."

the reason some people sacrifice their own life for another person's life could be that they are in love with them and would do anything to keep them safe a protected even if that means risking their life in the process

"facing the rising sun of our new day begun

let us march on till victory is won.",

because the rising sun is a symbol of hope.
