Half-Priced Books The children’s and young adult’s section at half priced books is not everything that one would expect it to be. Both sections were at the back of the store stuffed into a small corner area which made each section feel very small. There were also more parents in these sections than children, but my description of these areas may explain why this is so. Overall, I felt that these sections were more laid out for adults to buy books for their children than for children to come…

becoming a larger part of students’ lives, books remain critical” (Rodriquez). In school we are taught what the index, glossary, etc of a book are. Those can be basic things we need to know in life too. If a student happens to be using a book and need to know where to find what they 're looking for, the glossary and index tend to be good sources to help lead them to the right spot of the book.

“Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!” Since we were old enough to read books, my teachers have preached this mantra to my classes. They would tell us that it is what is on the inside that matters, not just the cover. I must have heard these exact words hundreds of times while in school, yet I still found myself breaking this unwritten rule when I was in the eleventh grade.
