For our group's inquiry, we came up with the question "How does the way characters are treated in books (and real life) make you feel?" For this blog post, I am going to be focusing on one from the real world and two from fiction books. In Because I am Furniture, Anke, the main character, feels like she is ignored by her father and isn't good enough for him. She feels as if no one cares for her -especially her father- and isn't loved. When I put myself in Anke's shoes, I fell that she is confused about her relationship's with her family. After reading the book, it makes me more aware of things like this that are happening in the world because the book was written so realistically. I really admire the way that the author made me fell about Anke and the way that she is treated. 

     I also notice that in the beginning of Harry Potter, harry is treated horribly by his uncle Vernon and aunt Petunia. Harry fells that it is very unfair because they don't have any reason for treating him this way. The contrast between how they treat Dudley and harry is so large that it is hard to tell that they are even related. When I think about how harry is treated, I feel that it is very unfair for the reasons just stated. Even though this is fiction, it still relates to the real world because these things happen to many children in the world.

     Finally, in "upfront" magazine, about "gypsies" and their culture. Often, when they get married, it is at a very young age (about 13 years old). In my opinion, I feel that this is very weird. I think so because in the American culture, we usually married around 27 years old, which is a lot older than 13. I also question this way of life because it will make children pressured to "love" someone and might not make the right decision. All in all, I think that the way I read or notice things definitely affects how I feel about them.
