Over the course of this year I read eight books and each and every one of them have taught me a different story or way of life. Two of my favorite novels were The Rag and Bone Shop, by Robert Cormier and The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls.
The Rag and Bone Shop taught me how much one person can manipulate you and that the way people talk to you can affect your perception of the actual situation. In the novel, the young boy Jason’s friend Alicia gets murdered. Trent, the detective on the case questions and interrogates Jason, accusing him that he was the murderer. Trent asked Jason questions unrelated to the situations and manipulated Jason into giving Trent what he wanted from him. This led Jason into believing that he had murdered
