1. A text that made you think differently. Discuss in detail how it challenged your thinking and how you are a more intelligent or insightful person thanks to this text.

I'v read many books in my short 16 years considering i only really started reading about 2 years ago. So to answer the question above, i think its a tie between two texts.One being Murder Afloat by Jane Leslie Conly and the living dead girl by Elizabeth Scott. 

Murder Afloat was a book that made me really think about how hard life is for some people.
This book is about a young boy who gets kidnapped and is forced to to work aboard the Ella dawn, the most ill reputed ostering ship aboard. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8256467-murder-afloat  . Its a text that i read about a year ago and a text that i still very much love.  


the Living Dead girl was a book i read only a few months ago. this book is about a ten year old girl that gets kidnapped and her expirience. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2954411-living-dead-girl . this story is graphic and really disgusted me at some points.. but the hold it has on you to keep reading, is magnificent. this book made me  think differently about the concept of life and to appreciate what i have more. i also think it made me a much better reader because of the way the story jumps around at some points makes you really have to pay attention.
