Another thing that I love about this book is the point of view. Being an autobiography, this book is written in the point of view of the author about herself and the issues that are important to her. Additionally, since this book is an autobiography, the readers will get to know her immensely throughout this book and will be able to see through her eyes and be in her shoes. For example, Marley discusses in the beginning her struggles of not seeing her being represented in the books, allowing the readers to feel empathy for her and opening their minds to other perspectives. Another example is that Marley describes her experience being in school and reading classics that involved other races, making her feel left out and unrepresented. This description also allows readers to feel empathy for Marley and understand more what it’s like to be in her shoes. The main lesson of this story is that you need to stand up and take action for the issues that matter and are important to you.… (mais)
