How many of us have wished for a better life? One that is decadent with minimal work involved? This wishful thought is certainly something I have thought of growing up in a working middle class family. ‘That’s what being in the working class is all about-how to get out of it’ Neville Wran said.

Book Essay The book I chose to read was Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin. The book has approximately 322 pages. I chose to read this novel because I remember watching the movie while flipping through channels and thought it was pretty interesting‚ and I figured the book would probably be better.

Ballenger stated “And what matters in this journey- at least initially -is not what kind of car you’re driving‚ but where you end up.” He is expressing that it does not matter how perfect your writing is.
