What I learned in this book is to never give up. Nicky and her dad found a newborn child in the snow. They believed the child was almost dead if not dead. They never gave up and brought the child to the hospital. On the way their is was snowing and deep snow everywhere. The travel was hard on their feet. Once they got to the Hospital the doctors took her and all they could do is wish for the best. The child survived and healed completely. A good example of a benefit to reading this book is to never give up.
What Did You Expect To Learn When You Picked Up The Book? To What Extent – And How Effectively – Were Your Expectations Met?
Something I know understand is that nothing is ever given to you for free, you have to try/struggle for it, earn it, and this book shows that message clearly.
I would recommend it to other people who need to be encouraged in various ways. Perhaps it is a burnt-out therapist who feels that they are not helping people at all, or a person who can identify with one of the resident’s in the book. Every person in this book showed resiliency, not just the Modello residents. The people who were helping the residents at one time or another experienced a setback and they used the training they had and the people around them to bounce back. When Hurricane Andrew hit, many of the women that were highlighted in this book used the three principles to help them get through the storm and be thankful for living through it. They used what they learned in Modello to become resilient and through that training they taught others how they can be resilient too. Through this book I even learned that the resiliency of my childhood and adolescences isn’t lost, it’s still there when I need it. I just don’t think about it anymore just like the ladies in Modello didn’t think about it when they were using it after Hurricane
Give a detailed description of how the book impacted you on a personal level To truly recognize how a book can open your eyes and give you a fresh perspective, I think you have to read the book, There Are No Children Here, by Alex Kotlowitz. This book describes a social impression that few people actually experience or fully understand. It has all the aspects that a good quality book needs; facts, struggles, a little romance and the greatest importantly a strong family bond that you study to rely on. This book has laid many things into perspective for me. I realized that my problems are nil compared to Pharoah's and Lafeyette's.
Personally, the book taught me a lot about how people deal with situations when under pressure, people’s need for power and how easy it really if for a war to break out and I found that in my mind I could easily link what was going
The book contains a series of breakdowns of thoughts, outlooks, and emotional schemes. There are numerous exercises that help one to come to terms with issues relating to the various chapters the book contains. Some are more specific than others and require serious dedication to exercises, such as writing letters to your inner child, some are different tasks than others such as clearing your mind and imagining good in a specific person. As I
In the book I can connect to some of the things in it. In life people have happy things happen and negative things happen. “Life throws too much crap at us as it is, so why hold onto something
I've never found an enjoyable book that contains life lessons. Once I was halfway through your book I knew that this book had a main lesson behind it. Could the lesson be treating others how you want to be treated? No, I don't think so it could be to Choose Kind. The book made me look at people who are different in a different way before.
I will recommend this book to everyone because it has elements that I feel most books do not have. It was enjoyable to read because I have had many problems with my father and this book helped me come to a revelation. This book kept me going and all I wanted to do was curl up underneath my covers and read this book. It was such an inspirational tool that will never leave my heart and I will always cherish how it made me feel. I am really excited to read his other book Into the Air. If it is anything like this book, I will love
What did I learn from this book? The only thing that comes to mind when I'm asked that question is pain. I didn't know what real pain was until I tried to understand what this child went through. Everything that meant anything to him, his family, those who should be the closest, was drowned out. He didn't know what to think and so often in the world today, we are naive. We don't have a clue of how life could be, and of how lucky we truly are to have the kinds of backgrounds that we were blessed with.
One of the helpful people in this book that stood out to me was Mama P. Her intuitive knowledge of her "babies" is amazing. To have the strength and patience to bring in and care for a child like Robert is beautiful. I would love to meet and learn from someone like that.
This book is an eye opener, making you look at things in a different way changing your views and perspective of things we thought were impossible or that they had no relationship at all. He incentives you to formulate the correct questions by questioning everything that you feel curious about. Just remember what a genius once said, "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."- Albert Einstein. Just remember how the book says
People should read this book because it teaches the importance of friends and family and it teaches that everybody has personal issues to go through.
I learned something wonderful from the text that still resonates in my heart. I learned that every life can have divine purpose and blessing, if centered and committed to its creator God. Looking through the times and characters covered through the
I honestly enjoyed reading this book not only because it was short and to the point but it brought clarity to me that life is too short to live in the life of suffering. It helped me to see the importance
