This quote means that the proper story is all the time a book about advancements; it is about personal growth. I agree with the interpretation because in all good books people change and mature. One work of literature that I have read which relates to the quote is the book Holes by Louis Sachar. Another book that supports the quote is the book‚ Monster‚ by Walter Dean Myers

The word “love” has become an overused word that people use for everything. What I find discomforting is the
