From here on out I had been influenced in reading mostly by mother helping to understand and comprehend books from preK and on. Also my third grade teacher's creativity and showing imagination while reading books influenced me greatly. Also reading coming acroos a novel that was written by a person to dhsre their personal experience. These have helped me open my mond to more readings no matter what genre. Intepreting what you are reasing can help you gain more knowedge througout life. -

Night by Elie Wiesel
I rememeber I was a sofmore in high school when I read this book. It was about his boy and father in the Holocaust. I will never forgot how his father would sacrifice what he had to help his son. He would give the son the bread to help him stay healthier and fuller longer. This book influenced me to read more nonfiction books. I felt empathy for them, and I also wanted to learn history more, which I had not been very interested in throughout school before.
