Hi Heeji,

I like the theme of the book you mentioned, “courage.” It’s not just the characters who have the courage to speak out, and it’s the people who have the courage to speak out in the face of some injustice. And when I am afraid to do something, we should also face the difficulty bravely.

We chose the same book for week 7. When I finished reading this book, I really like this book. Because this book’s themes are very authentic, I think this book can be used for students who are over 14 years old. The book also shows the main character’s final thoughts, who wants to do something about racial prejudice.
