According to Bernadette Devlin, “To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else” means that if you want to have something in life you might have to lose other things (everything else).In Novels like Chicken Soup (For the Soul), by Author??, and Incidents in The Life of a Slave Girl(underline) by Harriet Jacobs this quote is interputed (unclear). Incidents in the Life of Slave Girl provers(sp) this quote because Linda loses things as she trys(vb) to gaint (sp) things.

Steffy: you have to update this first draft of the critical lens introductory paragraph. Please follow the given format and revise all errors.
