Books.
I have never really been a fan of reading books unless I was assigned it. But I would have to say the three most influential books I have read thus far is The Kite Rinner, A Child Called it, and Star Girl.
The Kite Runner is a novel is based on redemption and bacially speaking the truth. I could not stop reading thi book. It has a lot of graphic parts but it makes the novel that intense. You learn many historical facts of Afghanistan and see different views and experiences. It opened my eyes on many things.
Another book that i admire is A Child Called it by Dave Pelzer. This is a very touching story it is tragic but inspirational. It is hard to believe that a child could go through what he did in his childhood. Its amazing seeing himself turn his life around, have faith and remain strong for himself.
As a child I remembering reading Star Girl. This book is influential because it shows that being different is beautiful. It explains that you could be yourself and you should stay true to yourself. One person would love you for yourself.

I have the book 'kite runner' with me but haven't really got the time to read it. I have heard a lot about it from my friends. My best friend literally shut the book and cried for a while after he finished this book I definitely should give it a read i think :)
ReplyDeleteI have always been drawn to the people and the country of Afghanistan. I have never had the chance to read the Kite Runner, but I have watched the movie, and I really hope the story of these people and what they have gone through never be repeated.
ReplyDeleteYour books reflect stories of challenge and redemption -- what life is about, right?
