I never heard of this book until PRIME. Once I started PRIME I told people about the books I had to read and everyone said that they loved reading this book. Once I heard about the book from a few people I was excited to start reading it. This was probably my favorite book to read so far. This book challenged me to rethink how I go about doing things.

I tend to be a person who if I fail at something I like to go back to something that makes me feel comfortable when the same opportunity comes to

After reading the book I will say that I enjoyed it a lot more than what I thought I was. I honestly didn’t feel like it had a lot of weaknesses to it. With that being said I felt that the book had a few strengths that stood out about it. One of the first things that stood out about it was the style that the book was written. I felt that it was well written in context and in style. I love the style that he wrote for his chapters. Like most books this book had names in its chapters.

The book is a good book because it makes you ask questions while you're reading it but what's happening and to get a better understanding on what's happening in the story.

The passage I chose as “The Quote of the Book” is, “I thought about all the people I knew who spent many of their waking hours feeling sorry for themselves. How useful it would be to put a daily limit on self-pity. Just a few tearful minutes, then on with the day. And if Morrie could do it, with such a horrible disease… “It’s only horrible if you see it that way,” Morrie said. “It’s horrible to watch my body slowly wilt away to nothing.

Not only do I believe that I gained lessons from it but it also made me view life a whole lot different than before. The novel has taught me to be more open and comfortable with myself when it comes to being who I am as a person and when it comes to addressing how I feel. When you try to push and push your honest feelings away from your thoughts it can come back and hurt you in the long run, like it did to Edna. If Edna was more open to how she felt and got help when she felt like she was drowning in her own mind, she could have had a different pathway that would not have ended on her death. Although Edna’s actions and the way she handled the situation when it wasn’t going well also taught me and hopefully to others that taking the opportunity to get help when you need it is literally the difference between having a life ahead of you and ending the life you had. In my opinion, this novel is one of the best that I have ever read for a class and I would have read it on my free time if I otherwise had the choice.

I also enjoyed how Kate Chopin made the novel develop and that looking back on the novel more things are evident once the reader has learned an important fact about the plot. For instance, at first it was not clear to me that Robert and Edna really had a thing for one
