     Of Mice and Men was written during a period of racism. In the 1960's it was important for everyone to get along with eachother because not everyone was equal. George and Lennie showed a great part in friendship throught the whole book. At the ranch in Selinas mostly everyone showed friendship in some way. Friendship was a great factor when the book was published because of all the racism going on at the time.

Today I started reading Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I really like how the author describes the background of the story in the prologue of the book. It really helps to understand the story better later on. Jacob, the main character in this book, is kind of a shy kid, and seems like a slacker. He doesn’t seem to want to work hard at anything. I really love how the author jumps right into the plot with Grandpa Portman’s frantic phone call while Jacob is at work. Very excited to read more!

In today’s society people tend to be open about differences and respond to them understandingly. In the 2014 Special Olympic USA games Kim Chandler who is a thirty-eight-year-old olympic swimmer with down syndrome and uses her unique athletic skills to teach able children to swim. Kim is a brilliant example of how society has changed positively. What is so inspiring about Kim teaching children to swim is the way people accept her and include her in our own lives. We accept people with disabilities like Kim because society today accepts differences and believes we need them to make the world a unique place to live. Although, not everyone was accepting of disabilities in the earlier times. If Kim was living in the 1930’s when she wanted to help children swim she would not be able to, she also would not be able to swim because there would be no Special Olympics. In the 1930’s Society was unaccepting to differences; they didn’t want to believe that differences are relevant.

The book Mrs.Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children intrigued me in ways other books fail to catch my attention. Time travel! Invisible monsters! Floating girls! Shape shifting teachers!
