Books teach us things we didn't know we needed to learn. Sometimes it is a fact about history or culture or science. Sometimes it is something about people — how they think, how they hurt, how they survive. Sometimes it is something about yourself.

Today we take stock of what this book has given you so far.

Reading Prompt:

Writing Prompt:
Write a paragraph about something you have learned from this book — about the world, about people, or about yourself. It does not have to be a big lesson. Sometimes the smallest realizations are the ones that stick.
