Week 3: Books

East Side Dreams by Art Rodriguez was the first book i can remember reading on my own time. It influenced me to read other books because i was actually interested in reading it. It is about a bunch of kids in San Jose wich is were I live, and the characters reminded me of me and my friends so thats what got me interested. Another book that is influential to me is Lord of the Flies by William Golding. This book tought me that people need to be civil and that rules are made for reasons. People have to respect others and can't always just do what they want. I liked this book because I watched the movie they made on it and it helped me understand it more. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee showed me how there was inequality back then and there still is today. Some people have better paying jobs than others and everyone lives a different lifestyle.
