What is a book that has made you think or changed your mind?

To Kill A Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies have definitely made me picture and think of life and people in a different way. To Kill A Mockingbird taught think before doing. It made me start picturing people in different ways. By not judging a book by its cover more rather then just stating it. To Kill A Mockingbird also made me wonder what life is like for other people. I guess people can seem happy on the outside but can also be feeling the complete opposite on the inside. To Kill A Mockingbird helped me to be less judgmental and more sympathetic to others even if I may not know them that well or at all. This book also helped me to learn more about the different people in life and the difference between them. For example there's people like Tom Robinson and Calpurnia that don't have the best life or they aren't the most fortunate but yet they still remain true to their morals and values and whats right.  And then there's people like Mayella Ewell that may seem all nice and fun but are really just out to hurt you and reputation. And then there's people like Atticus that are just the peacemakers and they don't care who's the most popular or the prettiest they just want what's right to be done. They want to resolve all issues with the best outcome possible. They also want to help and teach others about what's right from learning from their mistakes.

Lord of the Flies helped me to see the world and people in a different way. Lord of the Flies taught me that the world isn't as pretty as it may seem and that there's darkness in everyone and everything. For example the island. When the boys first arrived it was filled with pretty flowers and clear water. But soon as their inner savages were brought out the island became the complete opposite. The island was filled with fire, dead bodies and blood soon after they arrived. Also Lord of the Flies helped me to understand ids and superegos.
