The greatest miricle in the world-OG Mandino



Significance
This book is important because it was made from the idea of helping people believe in their self or believe that they could rise them self up and keep on going with their lives. I think everyone should care about this book because the author spend enough time thinking how could he send a message to people that need help searching their way through happiness and helping them to not quit. The problem that the book is trying to send out is how one day something bad happens and then we start blaming all the bad things that happened to us to the person that we believe in (spirit,god,etc) and we don't realize that it was us who had the fault. A reader that reads this book will take a lot from it like the four rules that will help you perform a miracle in your life and also will learn what is or who is the greatest miracle in the world.


Perspective




This book was created from the perspective of OG Mandino which was a man that had a position of writing books and he was the author of the Greatest Salesman in the World. And Simon who was a rag picker not any rag picker he was a rag picker that rescued persons from quiting their lives and also helped people become happier. This book was created by OG Mandino the author of the Greatest Salesman in the World and other books.




Evidence




In this book there is a really important section and it mention the four laws or rules of performing a miracle and who is the greatest miracle in the world this section of the book (chapter) talks and explains the four rules that will help you perform a miracle in your life they are count your blessings, proclaim your rarity, go another mile, and then last one I cant tell you because you will need to read the book to be able to find out. The four laws are part of the memorandum the letter that was written by Simon but that he believe almost every writer when writing was touched by God and God send his message by touching a persons hand (the letter was send by god). The memorandum letter was the letter that Simon gave adults that were about to quit their lives and by doing that he rescued them from quiting. You will find most of this information in chapter.




Connection




I could make many connections in this book because it relates to many people because many people are not happy what whit they have and also because many people quit their lives before reaching what they want. I think this problem still affects us because like I just said many people are unhappy. So I think that if you are unhappy in any point of your life this is a very good book for you to read because the god's memorandum helps you be happy.




Supposition




I think the world will be different if we didn't had sadness or unhappiness I think that this world would of being better or I will say happier because less suicides will happen and probably the war would of being over. I think if you change the four laws into a world issue that we are having today I think the book will of being really boring because it wouldn't had a mistery or a story behind.

The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe- C.S Lewis

Significance
This book is important because it leads you to another places and also because it makes you open your mind and think if this place (Narnia) is real. I think every one should care about this book because it makes you have a great time when you read it so if you don't like reading this is a really good book and I really think you will enjoy it. It is also important because the author C.S Lewis took his own time to
make this incredible book. I think the authors theme is that were ever you are or at whatever time you could always discover new places. I think this book became one of my favorites because it has a lot of action and the journeys are incredible. Now I have to give especial thanks to the person that recommended this book because of her i choosed this book. So because of that i recomend it to you!!!


Perspective
This book was created by C.S. Lewis in 1950. This book is written
by the perspective of four kids named Edmund, Peter, Lucy, and Susan. Edmund was the kid that betray them for the white witch because the first time he enter to Narnia the witch had promised he was going to become the new King of Narnia He helped Peter in the battle and became King (Edmund the just). Peter was one of the oldest one of all of them he became the high king because he saved Narnia from the white witch. Lucy was the first one to enter to Narnia and found a Faun who was really nice but at first he was going to turn her in, to the white witch but when he found out that she was really nice, the faun decided not to and helped Lucy escape. Lucy became the Valiant Queen. Susan was also one of the oldest one and became the Gentle Queen.


Evidence
Inside this book there is evidence of what I just told you about the faun and Lucy is true because in page 18-20 it discribes what the fuan had beign trying to do with Lucy and it was that the Faun wanted to give Lucy to the white witch so the witch could turn her into a statue or do something worse to her. In page 18 the fuan starts crying because he relizes that Luzy was really nice and she would of never do such thing as he was so later on through this pages he tells Lucy all about the white witch and how mean she is also he helps Lucy return to her house while he was going to stay and take the punishment that the mean and terrible white witch was going to do to the faun. If you wan't to Know what the witch did to the fuan you will have to read the book.

Connections
This book is a fiction book and the kind of book that you don't really connect to the real life but you could make connections with the charaters and yourself. I could connect susan whit me on the fact that we are the oldest I could also connect Lucy to many other people because many people are brave. I could relate the white witch to people in the street that only do bad things like grafitti and killing the white witch did almost the same thing because she abused of the good people and turn them into statues or killed them. I could relate this book to real life because their is bad people and brave people too. I think this book can't effect the future. Why? I do not think that there could be a mean and bad person that has magical powers, came from another world and could ruled our world.

Supposition
I think that a lot could happened if you change part of the problem so say that they change the problem were the white witch never knew what the word mean means I think that it will change the whole story and make it boring because no action will happened in the book. I think the world will be
different if we did not had this kind of books because children will not have an education and their lifes will not be healthy they would of spend all day long waching TV instead of reading the book.
