Books that have had an impact on me

1.) 1984- The ideas relating to government and authority are so well put together. I remember it because i quoted the book for weeks.

2.)Holes- I remember reading this book and not knowing what was going to happen. I kept reading faster and faster because I wanted to find out what would happen to Stanley Yelnats in the desert.

3.)Harry Potter- I have re-read every book of the series several times. It has an amazing story line with twists and turns that made me keep reading page after page.

4.)The curious incident of the dog in the night-time- This was my summer reading book and I found that I could relate to Christopher's way of thinking. Even though he is autistic, he thinks a logical way, and though I am not saying I think exactly like him, I am a person who tries to use logic to work through things.

5.) Killer angels- This book gave me an entire new perspective and perception of the civil war. I paid very close to attention to every detail and am glad I did. I did well on the test that covered some of the book.

6.) James and the Giant Peach- The one thing that stands out the most for me when I think of this book is the fact that it took me by surprise. It was an entirely new kind of story that had all sorts of characters.

7.) Night- I remember the genuine feeling of compassion I felt while reading the book. I learned a lot more about the reality of the holocaust.
