1. Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi- I liked that this book had many characters, and it was like a composition of short stories. Also, I liked that it was told from the perspective of Africans and African Americans in different generations

2. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee- This book really made me think deeply. It was interesting to see the change in characters from To Kill a Mockingbird to this book.

The Book Thief- This was my favorite book that I read in middle school. I loved the characters and the adventures they had throughout the book. The book was interesting to me because it took place during the Holocaust.
Romiette and Julio- This book is also one of my favorites because it was about people who loved each other but couldn’t be together and that caught my attention.

My two significant books are “Through the looking glass” which I read in 8th grade and “The Hate U Give” which I read towards the end of 2020. Through the looking glass impacted me because it was really the book that got me used to annotating and reading to comprehend and not just reading for fun. It taught me how to dissect a book. The Hate U give impacted me because it was a book based on real life and what something that can really happen especially in this day and age. I just really enjoyed reading it because I am a black women living in a white man’s world

1.) Copper Sun (Sharon M. Draper)
This book taught me on how to live through different struggles whether they're my fault or not. As well as to not give up on what is important even when times get hard. It taught me that everything happens for a reason and that I can't control everything even if I wanted to.

2.) Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury)
This book taught me that being alone isn't always best and that even if there is no one around there is something there to comfort and be with us. In this case it would be books.

The two books that have shaped me into the person I am now are called The Hungry Caterpillar and A Wrinkle In Time. Both books helped me see the world in a different perspective after reading. I learned and grew from these books as I grew older. Both books are amazing and influenced me in soo many ways such as being yourself, changing into a beautiful person you wish to become, transformation, and so much more.

Two books that have left an indelible impact on my life are The Hate U Give and Warriors Don’t Cry.

The Hate U Give - This book showed me a deeper element to what is African Americans go through and have to deal with on a daily basis.

Warriors Don’t Cry - Similar to the Hate U Give, this story touches on the basis of discrimination towards Blacks. This book also showed me that anything can possible even if it seems impossible.

The two books that have impacted me the most would be Scarlet’s Letter and The Hate You Give. Even though Scarlet’s Letter has a big even that I can’t relate to the themes and matters are relatable. The Hate You Give is realistic to where the events, themes and scenarios are actually going on in my life so I’m able to read and relate.

Inside Out- Terry Trueman
47-Walter Mosley
I read Inside Out in 8th grade and it gave me a different perspective on mental health and made me reconsider my opinions. I read 47 in 3rd grade and it made me view slavery differently than how I was taught in school. It was one of the first big books that I read in my free time and was more serious than the others as well, and inspired me to read more mature books.

1. The Fox and the Grapes- This book taught me that you must put in work to achieve a goal and that just because something doesn't go in your favor do not envy it.
2. Written in Bone- This book allowed me to realize that every experience, past, or form of history has an even deeper meaning. The way that the authors used scientific research to dive deeper into the past of Jamestown, whose historical impact would impact everyone in American society, whether negative or positive, inspired me to think more critically.

My two most loved books are The Book Thief and Watsons Go To Birmingham. The Book Thief is a historical fiction novel that was based on true events. Main characters were a girl and boy and their families who were all experiencing WWII and Nazi Germany. The Watsons Go To Birmingham was about a black family from Flint, Michigan who traveled to Birmingham to family and there they experience what it was like to be black down south.

How to Kill a Mockingbird & The Outsiders
1. In TKAM, racial discrimination was a reoccurring theme in the book and I was able to learn more in depth about like false accusations and the messed up justice system.
2. In the outsiders, we learned of rivals between like class, which I related to classism as well as racism. Basically learned that its all pointless and just another way to divide us.

1. Looking for Alaska - This book was really good, I related with the characters and fell in love with John Green’s writing, and it taught me to not take life for granted, just enjoy the moment and where you are.
2. I Love You Forever - This was one of the first books I remember reading with my mom, and it just makes me nostalgic and reminds me of my relationship with my mom.

Tuck Everlasting and The Outsiders. Tuck Everlasting stuck with me mainly because it was one of the first books that I was required to read in school that I actually liked. The Outsiders stuck with me because i found ponyboys story   and the way he learned right and wrong very interesting.
