For so long, I have allowed for anger to control and rule my life. I have anger issues. I have control issues. I can flip a mood on the fly. I'm not proud of these things. I want to live a happy and normal life. Studying the word of God has allowed for me to start this journey of being happy. I don't want to sleep all the time. I don't want to be hateful all the time. I don't want to be angry all the time. I want to live life to it's fullest without anything getting in my way. This is my goal in life, and I will achieve it.
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
