One of my favorite stories was the three on three basketball tournament story. It is a short novel for children. I try to put myself into the story and imagine myself playing the tournament. I could feel the passion and the heat in my body when I was standing on the basketball in front of two hundred students. This has been my dream since third grade: to become a basketball superstar in my school. Another story I like was Escape from Slavery. It gives me a picture of how African slaves were treated. It showed me a very different kind of life than I am living right now on the other side of the Earth. All they do was hard working after hard working. They were never educated, causing them to be illiterate when they became adults. I felt hard to imagine myself in a family that has different backgrounds and race with me. The hardest part to imagine was to work for these families without getting paid or benefits. I felt terrible for the writer and the slaves around him for doing such works and still get harsh punishments. The story made me sad and almost cry while I was reading it.
