Getting to read books that I choose at my own pace has never been something my teachers have encouraged me to do. The books I chose to read taught me different lessons in many ways. The Job by Steve Osborne, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, and Enrique’s Journey by Sonia Nazario all had different messages that changed my thinking in different ways. The Job by Steve Osborne is an autobiography that tells the true tales from the life of a New York City cop. In each chapter of his book, he shares a different

In chapter one of "Lies My Teacher Told Me" Loewen examines how historical figures are represented in modern textbooks. Loewen uses Woodrow Wilson and Hellen Keller to prove his claim that textbooks leave out information about historical figures, making them one dimensional and uninteresting. Loewen's first example is Hellen Keller. Everyone who has ever taken an American history class knows about how a blind and deaf Keller taught herself how to read and write. However Keller's legacy

teaching me to read, I learned from others surrounding me. My siblings. My teachers. My friends. Slowly, I learned how to read. Letter by letter. Sound by sound. I turned into an avid book reader.

Still, this new technology allowed mass production

my opinion the book filled with anti-semitic and sexisit views, and these are things we should definitely not be exposing our children to. Throughout the book we learn many people during the time period, including Ford expressed anti-semitic views. The former agent of the “Black Hundreds” stated, “Just look, Mr.Ford! The bankers who have been trying to take your business away from you. Who are they? Jews!” (55). Should we really be allowing the children in schools to read this book, which seems to
