Brainstorming

There have been a few moments in my life that I have experienced that had made an impact on me. One item is reading the book Bud, Not Buddy. I read this book while I was in Elementry school. This book was an inspiration to me and affected me a lot. reading it at such a young age also made it more inspiring. It change my veiw of the world in the fact that I felt sympathy for the people who grow up without a father or who have to live on the street by themselves. This book was about a young African American boy growing up in the ghetto during the 60's. He grew up without his father because he had left one day and never came back. Then while his mother got sick he ran away on an adventure to find his father. At such a young age it was a struggle to him getting around all by himself. It was a very inspirational book becuase it helped describe what many people go through in life and how fortunate I am to have the things I do. Another moving item was the movie Pursuit of Happyness. This movie did wonders on me for the feeling of sadness and sympathy. This was one of 3 movies that I have ever cried in and the only movie that made me cry multiple times throughout the film.
