This is the first book that I can remember reading in middle school reading class that I was thoroughly upset about the book ending.  I was so invested in the book and it was not just an assignment for class.  This book also provoked the serious question of weather or not living forever would really be desirable.  I think that was the first book that I can remember thinking that deeply about.

I used to compete in UIL reading aloud. This UIL event helped me to be more confident in my reading skills especially with my vocabulary and inflection.  This will impact my life significantly, because I will use these skills as a teacher.
