The Boy In The Stripped Pamas

Today I read books like no tomorrow and I learn quite a lot from them. I never knew books could reflect your life or even share experiences that other people might feel or have been through. It all began in high school, my second year of school and my class was beginning a new book called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. After reading the book, I learned it is explicit in its warnings and moral lessons aimed at the present. I could not care less about the world but after reading Fahrenheit 451, I became more aware of the world now. Another book that inspired me to read more was called Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, learning about how we should not forget the fundamentals of what makes human a human. These kinds of books impacted my life to

Yes, a book has helped me think about an issue in my life. Not many books help you, but there was this one book it was ‘Love, Aubrey’ by Suzanne LaFleur; this book made me realize that wherever you go, you'll always have people around you that care about you. At one time I thought that I had no friends but hey, I put that negativity out of my head and I had a lot of friends.

The story that I choose to read was Holding Up The Universe by Jennifer Niven. I originally choose to read this book because it’s cover looked very interesting to me. The title hooked me and reading the book has been nothing but interesting. The book was about to teenagers whose worlds were completely different but were both the exact opposite of ideal. They were both struggling through hard times until they found each other. I would recommend other people my age to read this book because it is so inspirational and because once you start reading it it is hard to put it down. It keeps you interested and helps you learn how to get through some hard times.

For me, that series was the Junie B. Jones series by Barbara Parks. Not only was the book funny, but also full of life lessons to learn from. Appreciating the “little things” in life is one of the ways this book has impacted me. Sometimes we constantly are looking at the larger picture of life and not taking the time to appreciate the small deeds people do for others. Junie B. Jones has also impacted me by always staying true to myself. No matter how many times she acted different or stood out in a crowd, she embraced herself, therefore; she was not going to change for anyone and that is a great quality to have in

In conclusion the book the color of water I enjoyed very much because most books will just have one kind of point of view but this book had a child and his mother and to figure out some history from both sides makes it interesting, and the certain chapters I talked about in the story is what I found was most important and interesting and I believe most people would agree, and this is a book I would highly

Children of War this book goes through a war and shows what it was like for many people who were in Iraq and could not get out or wasn't able too. It tells and shows what the people and children had went through when they were stuck in Iraq while the war was going on. It's kind of a confusing book to read and follow along the entire time because there's not really any kind of a chapter it simply just goes through and three or four pages will be about what one family went through and then move onto another family. But that is one way that this book is unique in my opinion it takes a bunch of people's lives that went through the same war and tells and gives you a good idea what each family went through, and just about every single family had

The third book I’d choose to save from the firemen is Jandy Nelson’s I’ll Give You the Sun. This novel revolves around fraternal twins Noah and Jude, who used to be basically inseparable. Now that they’re getting older, they begin to drift apart. The reasons I’d save this novel from the firemen are that it deals with very real things for teenagers and kids such as puberty, sexuality, deaths in the family, and divorce. It teaches readers that you should never be afraid of being who you truly are, that if things are tough right now then they will get better with time, and that your family will almost always be there for you when you’re going through something. It focuses on the mannerisms of teenagers who are just being themselves, who are only human, and are still trying to find themselves. I feel that this novel would help teens grow and help find themselves and develop, just like Noah and Jude.

A mother carries a baby’s body that is full of bullets and bullet holes. A father falls from his car, vomiting blood as his family sits in pieces, dead in the car. In a blink of an eye, the children go from happy and carefree, knowing they have loving families at home, to wondering if they will ever see anyone they know alive again. I felt very sad and sickened, seeing those events through his eyes, and thinking of how many children in the world have lived through similar events. Eventually, hunger sets in and the boys steal food from people as they sleep and even wrestle corn away from a young child. It was painful think of the things people in other parts of the world are going through while I sit in my comfy chair; reading a book, and eating snacks. After losing his friends, running from murderous rebels, using children on drugs to destroy, kill, and maim; Ishmael is eventually taken in by the government army and himself becomes a child soldier, using drugs and killing people. He rises to the rank of junior lieutenant, partly for his proficiency in executing prisoners of war, and leads a team of fellow child soldiers while

This book is telling a humorous tale of an orphan’s touching search for a loving home. The main character Bud, runs away from his abusive foster family. He lives in the time of the Great Depression and although the story shows hardships Bud faces at times, he continues to

A great work of art that has had a powerful impact on me is the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The book which is set in Alabama during the 1930’s, tells the story of a young girl named Scout as she faces the reality of life. The novel discuss many hard hitting subject like racism, class separation, and doing the right thing whether it is socially acceptable or not. It has impacted my view of the world and has taught me many lessons that I still use today in my everyday life.

The book that has made the greatest impact on my life is Night by Elie Wiesel. After reading Night and even while I was reading the book it really just made me think about a lot of things, both good and bad. Night is a memoir, in this book you see Elie’s faith really tested. At the beginning of the book Elie was so strong in his faith, when he was asked “Why do you pray to God?” he answered with “Why do I pray?...Why do I live? Why do I breathe?” His belief in God was so strong at the beginning of his book. He was so strong in his faith primarily because that was what he was taught his whole life, he was Jewish. It was established in his mind, as well as in the mind of most other Jews, that God is everywhere in the world and that nothing would

Now that I am older I honestly can say that I have a love and hate relationship with reading. When I was in elementary school I’ve had the opportunity to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid which always made me laugh. A book that will always stick in my head is The boy in the stripped Pajamas. It was so heartbreaking so see the way Jews were treated. It was also upsetting to see how Shmuel and Bruno had to lose their lives. I loved reading books in elementary school because most of the books had a comedy theme to them.

I've strictly select an assortment of non fiction books that sum up roughly 30 years of american cultures. These books portrays a multitude of spectrums of political,social and economic culture that resonates with many and prove to be important in today's world.

I'd recommend the book The Giver by Lois Lowry because it holds so many messages and lessons and it changes the way the reader thinks. It seems that people in today's society are very ungrateful for everything, and they have reason to be, with all the discrimination, sadness, hunger and other major problems in the world. What we don't realize is that by removing these problems, it is debatable that even worse problems are created. The book shows the "utopia" of life without these problems, but it turns out that this new society is more of a dystopia. For example, to remove discrimination one must remove the source: major physical differences.

The child laborers in Iqbal who were taken from their families against their will so they could pay off their parents debts. Nina Lugovskaya in I Want to Live was not allowed to share what her actual opinions are in fear of being exiled to the northern parts of Siberia, not even her diary was safe as random police raids would take her diary and all other documents in the house. These books are the cries of children to stop what many are doing and realize that other people are suffering and they need help so many people need to go and help
