The reason I chose this item is because in the book, the main character Pattyn Von Stratten used a journal write down all her troubles because her librarian Ms. Rose told her it would be good for her. The second item I chose was a diaper. I chose this item because all through the main characters life, she had to take care of herself and her six other younger sisters. Her mom and dad always made her change their diapers, feed them, and bathe them. The third item I chose was a ring.
The one book that stood out to me was the book my mom use to read to me. All I could think of was to read more new books with my mom. I was so excited to begin to learn.

When I got home I got in bed and figured I had at least two hours to kill watching a little bit of TV or I could just start this book I just got. I got ready for bed, laid back down, and grabbed the book flipped through the bulk of the book and back to the beginning of the first chapter and began the book that would change my view on reading.

In the winter, the cold air always blew through the cracks of the house. In order to keep studying, my mum would crawl on top of her straw bed, and huddle in with a thin sheet of blanket.
