Some people don’t find value in visiting the bookstore to sit down and read, rent books, or purchase books when there are ways to stay at home and have the same access. So, there are a few changes that I will embrace to become successful.

    1. THEME: The theme in the realistic fiction story Wonder by R.J Palacio is, it doesn’t matter what’s on the outside it’s the inside that counts. I know that’s probably the most cliche saying ever but, it’s true especially in the book Wonder. I say this because the main character August isn’t very well liked at first by anyone but Summer, because of the way he looks, this is especially sad because August has an amazing personality according to Jack, Jack says “... if all the guys in the fifth grade were lined up against a wall and I got to choose anyone I wanted to hang out with, I would chose August.” I think Jack says this because, August may not be the most popular kid in the grade but, he is a great friend to have despite his face.…

Self-selection bias also poses limitations in the survey results.…

    As far back as I can remember, reading has always been a tremendous part of my life. Growing up, my mother introduced reading as one of the most important skills I could learn.

Every night before bed, my mother and I would read a page out of a children’s bible book called Blessings Every Day as opposed to the classic Green Eggs and Ham. Reading has taught me how to exercise my imagination, how to effectively communicate with others, and relieves my stress.…
