Review of White Fragility by Robin Diangelo & How to be an AntiRacist by Ibram Kendi
Before I begin let me start by saying my review may or may not be an endorsement of these books. I do believe they should be read, and you should never let someone else tell you what is in these books. Most of what they will say will be untrue. I also recomment, Rules for Radicals, by Sail Alinksy, mainly because you will hear people claim he is a communist but once you read that book you will see he despises ideologies because they become too dogmatic. He is simply telling people how to protest injustice and wants both the right and the left to become better. He mainly stats the Communists know how to protest. Another book is, Critical Race Theory, by Richard Delgado & Jean Stefancic, simply so you know what it is.

A book five star rating system
The first book I read was in 1988 “the animal farm” by George Orwell. To tell you frankly I did not enjoy it much because I was rushing for every couple of statement to oxford dictionary to find an explanation for a certain word. Though the book is writing in moderate English level but still my English level capacity was not supporting me. To get to the point my dad, a university teacher specialized in Semitic languages, asked me how did you find the book? In my country, because of politics, the country was super shut down to the world; there were no computers and no internet and NO RATING SYSTEM. I told my dad that the book was nice but a little difficult to understand as my concentration and mind gets disturbed whenever I find a word to fetch for in the dictionary.

From Being a Book Worm To Becoming a Children's Book Author
From Being a Book Worm To Becoming a Children's Book Author By: Esther I. Kim When I was a kid, I was a huge book worm. One of my favorite hobbies was to go to the local library and immediately, I would dive into the children’s book section. I’ve read hundreds of books including: The Rainbow Fish, The Hungry Caterpillar, Where the WIld Things Are, and so much more. Reading helped me escape into the unknown, while developing my critical reading and writing skills. It also helped me to become a more confident speaker since my family was bi-lingual.

Love Will Prevail: Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet, written by the one and only William Shakespeare, is widely considered one of the greatest love stories of all time. The play centers around Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, children of two different families, who meet each other at a party and fall in love, despite the fact that the families that they come from have been in a bitter rivalry for many decades. They soon figure out that they come from these different families, but even despite this, they go against what their families have always believed and profess their love for each other. The theme that William Shakespeare is trying to get across is that love conquers all; even in the worst circumstances possible for two people to fall in love, they fall in love anyway, and are willing to do anything for each other in order to stay together. Romeo and Juliet couldn’t care less that they come from different families; they still want to be together and promise to love each other until the very end. This theme of “love conquers all” is prevalent throughout the entire play, showing the lengths that two people are willing to go through to stay together, how even two incredibly different people that should be bitter rivals can love each other for eternity, and how said love could even end a long-time rivalry between two families when the families realize that they cared not about the fact that they came from two different families, but about being together until the very end.
