Outside Reading

I chose to read the novel Crispin, the Cross of Lead, by Avi. Again, I chose to pick a meaningful quote and explain why it is relevant and important to everyday life. This quote happened when Bear said, "I've heard it said that a man's soul may be observed behind the eyes," (135). When I first read the quote I thought it was well thought out and important. As I kept thinking about it, I noticed that it can be read with a very important meaning. It can mean that you should know a person because of what is inside them and not on the outside. You can relate this to how "one shouldn't judge a book by its cover." I used to hear this all the time when I was little and it seemed kind of funny how such a "younger kid" moral came up in the novel.
