Her Story Hannah Agins My best friend, Lillian, finally told me her story. She never talked about her life really, besides the fact that she was adopted. I told her that she could tell me anything, but whenever she almost talked to me about her past, she would get all aggressive and angry, and shake like a hand-shy dog. I eventually stopped asking, since asking was not something she was comfortable with. I didn’t ask Lily about it for the next few weeks, until Lilly told me she felt I was trustworthy enough to share her past, that she had never told anyone before.

My favorite book that I have read so far has definitely been Everything, Everything because of how it just pulls you in and makes you want to keep reading. In the book Maddy is diagnosed with severe combined immunodeficiency disease, which means you can’t be exposed to the germs and bacteria. Her mom decided that it would be safer for her to stay inside and never go out. While she is sitting inside her room she sees a boy that is her new neighbor and instantly likes him, but he has no idea she can’t leave her house. This part of the book was very interesting to me because it portrayed a very important message. Everything, Everything is my favorite book because it showed me a side to the world that I have never seen. I highly recommend the book.
It is interesting and is something that would be good for good reasons if you wanted a sad story in my mind. Do they fall in love? Also is there any way she gets outside the house?
ReplyDeleteI have seen the movie, but haven't read the book. I might try reading it now. It sounds like everything everything carried a lot of deeper messages, ad it sounds like it would be a very interesting read.
