The Book(s) that Changed My Life.

My favorite book that I have read is Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. I read Speak in ninth grade. I really liked the way this book was written and how it really described in detail the main characters feelings. There is no special meaning behind it although I did at one point feel alone in school in sixth grade but that was it. It doesn't relate to my life but I can put myself in the main characters shoes and see what she deals with on a daily basis. I think this book changed my life because the main character gets shunned and I know what that feels like. One of my best friends and I are not seeing eye to eye on somethings right now, I know I shun her and I don't mean to do it personally but sometimes I just don't know what to say anymore. Also she shuns me because she is mad at me for stating my opinion on something. The first time I read this book I couldn't put it down I had to keep reading! I think the reason I feel so strongly about this book, is because I feel so strongly about the main character. I really liked her and she seemed like a more independent character at the end. This book has taught me so believe in who you are and if somebody doesn't like you for being you then that's their loss not yours.
