I believe that the book Zeitoun can be somewhat factual yet there are many parts in the book that can be misleading. The description Zeitoun gives us about FEMA and Homeland Security gives us the feeling of sorrow that they‚ and other U.S. citizens‚ discriminate the Muslim people after 4 years past when the horrific events of 9/11 happened.

I chose Holes by Louis Sachar for the book that I would save if I could only save one book. Although I read it about eight years ago‚ I have very fond memories of this story. I remember when I was about eight years old‚ my family and I listened to the audiobook while we were waiting for the Fourth of July fireworks to start. It is a small event‚ but I have not forgotten it yet‚ and I am not sure that I will anytime soon. In addition to the fond memories of reading and listening to this story‚ the

stories Freak the Mighty and Stargirl may seem like very different stories. One is a story about two boys becoming best friends and the other book is about two teens dating. But‚ if we look a little closer we can see that they are actually very similar.
