Personal Narrative: The Book Thief

In English class, we had read so many different books from all over the world; each style unique to the authors.

From scavenger hunts to Shakespeare insult battles she knows how to bring books to life, even if half the time I couldn’t understand what they were saying. She is kind, patient and one of the few teacher you can speak with personally. She is one of the best teaches I've had in my entire high school experience and I will miss her so
