I. Reason for Choice:
I choose to read this book because of the purity, kindness, and innocence of the story. It is one of my favorite books. It showed me how life can go on despite all the trials and circumstances that someone could ever experience. Its heart warming story lines have really encouraged me to trust on my self and never give up. It show how a young girl live by herself and experience the cruelty of people. It made me realize how thankful I am to have a home and a family to live with whose always their for me. It showed me how fortunate I am to be sent in a prestigious school, to be able to eat and sleep in comfy and pleasing home. Touching, powerful in its simplicity, and quite impossible to put down once started, this is a book which celebrates the courage which lies in the human spirit, and the kindness that can be found there. Crow-girl embodies much of what we would like to see in ourselves, and in her story we can find a message of both hope and peace.
