Nemats Readers Response 1

I thought this story was very interesting because reading for her was like an escape from the real world. The books she mainly read were that of fairy tales and of imaginary places. She would come home from school get something to eat if her mom wasnt there and read the night away. I believe she was probably a lonely little girl whos only resort was to read because she didnt have alot of things to do. Most kids want to play outside and have fun but no she wanted to read. She asked her mother tof buy ger book but she said she could only buy her a book once a monthe because they didnt have alot of of money to be spending on books. She obviously didnt think that that was going to be enough so she decided to take some moneyfrom her mother and head to a book store she had saw once before. This simple act showed how she was not going to listen to her mother and get a book she wanted at any cost. She was very determined on getting a book to read so the older gentleman agreed to let her borrow thae books as long as she promised to take care of them. I actually like the story, because it goes to show you how one little act could change someones outlook on life. She ended up thinking of Albert as her angel that watched over her and protected her and gave her a way of escape through reading. The books he gave her were of the christian faith so she started to pick up the little details of this religion and applied them to her life and what she was going through atbthe time. So overall I like this story.
