My third and final outside reading book is the non-fiction
one and, this may be morbid, but it is my favorite one so far. Most people
think that it is weird that I chose child abuse as my topic, because it is not
an enjoyable topic to talk about but I actually (not sure how to put this
without sounding crazy) love reading about it. I find child abuse absolutely discussing
and I don’t see how anyone could hurt his or her own child. But the reason that
I like reading about it is because it is so inspiring to me how the kids manage
to go through it. Obviously some of them can’t and some of them fail but the
stories of the ones that do are truly amazing. The one that I am currently
ready, although I’m not very far, is extremely heart breaking and gross. I will
read exerts of it out loud to whoever happens to be around and they get freaked
out and wonder why I would read something like that, or choose it for my topic.
I think the main reason I like reading about depressing and awful things is
because I actually stay interested and don’t get bored. I know that it is weird
and that I am weird, but I am glad I chose the topic I did.
I kinda feel that way about my topic. Most people wouldn't choose heroism through the ages, especially if they had to read The Odyssey. I think heroic tales of epic heroes are really interesting.
