Ever since I can remember I have loved books and reading, I have always spent my summers and any other free time I have curled up with a good book. Books have a way of taking you away from reality and pulling you into the lives of the characters sometimes (usually) making our world and lives seem incredibly drab in comparison. I have gone through many phases with books, gradually having a harder and harder time finding a new read from the public library. By the time I was 11, I had made it through all of “The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes” novels, all the “Dear Diary” historical fiction novels, the entire “Series of Unfortunate Events” series, every single novel ever written by “Beverly Cleary” (my most favourite author at the time) and every one of “The Little House on the Prairie” novels, I had absolutely no idea what to read next or

There were times where Bone recalls “afterward, Mama would cry and wash my face and tell me not to be so stubborn, not to make him so mad” (Allison 110) which places the blame completely on Bone. I think the biggest factor into engagement was Anney’s refusal to leave Glen even after she knew, Bone’s lack of identity, the pre-existing idea that the family was trash, and her constant desire to please her mother even telling her mother “I could never hate you” after she witnesses the abuse.

Jem says, "Scout, I'm telling' you for the last time, shut your trap or go home--I declare to the Lord you're getting' more like a girl every day!" Since Scout thinks being a girl sucks and always wants to keep up with her older brother. Jem saying this to her was like a slap across the face, she had no choice but to go along. 3.

I’m sorry about that whole confrontation earlier”. Mariah stuttered “No its fine-fine.” She never felt so rejected in her life, as if someone snatched her heart out of her chest.

My kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Brinkman, let everyone pick a day to bring in their favorite book. She even let us read it out loud to our class if we desired. I have to admit, my classmates were impressed as any kindergarteners could be with my choice of books. Not to mention all the big words I could read! Boy, did I have them fooled.
