Top 3 Books You Need To Read Before You Die

BOOK NO 1:

The War of the World:

The war of the worlds is a science fiction novel by English author H Wells.

If you like Aliens and Science Fiction then you will enjoy H. Wells The War of the Worlds. I was referred to this book by my english teacher who said that this book would be popular for boys my age. I would agree with that. Older teens should read this because this book is science fiction that also contains lots of action, while also being very insightful to human nature. The Guardian says, it as a true classic that has pointed the way not just for science fiction writers, but for now we as a civilization might think of ourselves. I chose to read this because I enjoy science fiction, and action and adventure. Wells, made visualizing the story easier by letting us the reader, see into the narrator’s thoughts and emotions. First when the aliens attack a town near the river, the narrator decides to jump in, but the aliens heat ray boils the river making the narrator scream in agony as every movement hurts painfully. The narrator screams and shouts sound horrible. This shows his emotions clearly no matter how bad they may be. When the narrator sees aliens drinking the humans blood he

says, ‘But squeamish as I may seem, I cannot bring myself to describe what I could not endure even to continue watching. The bare idea of this no doubt sounds repulsive to us, but at the same time I think that we should remember how repulsive our carnivorous habits would seem 5o an intelligent rabbit. We now see humans in a different way because of the narrator’s thoughts. And how repulsive it was to see it. This tells is more about the aliens and ourselves, because he makes us think if the aliens see humans as simple animals or intelligent creatures. Towards the end when the narrator wants to end it all after all the suffering, he starts going insane and walks to the martians to save him the trouble of killing himself. The thoughts and emotions he shows us makes us feel sad for everything the narrator has gone through. Showing us his thoughts of suicide and his feelings to just end it all.

Book No 2:

The Color Purple:

The Color Purple is a 1982 novel by American author Alice Walker The Color Purple documents the traumas and gradual triumph of Celie, an African American teenager raised in rural isolation in Georgia, as she comes to resist the paralyzing self-concept forced on her by others. Celie narrates her life through painfully honest letters to God. These are prompted when her abusive father, Alphonso, warns her not to tell anybody but God after he rapes her and she becomes pregnant for a second time at the age of 14. After she gives birth, Alphonso takes the child away, as he did with her first baby, leaving Celie to believe that both have been kille d. When the widowed Mr. (also called Albert) proposes marriage to Celie’s younger sister, Nettie, Alphonso pushes him to take Celie

It is also known as The Diary of Anne Frank. It is written in the Dutch language diary. She was in hiding for 2 years with her family. It is one of the famous real-life book world has.

Anne Frank: The Diary Of A Young Girl is the real diary of a teenage girl that begins on Anne’s 13th birthday (12 June 1942) when she gets a diary. It tells the story of her family who live in Frankfurt, Germany and suddenly have to go into hiding as a result of Hitler and the Nazi Party’s treatment of Jews in Europe during the second world war. They escape to Amsterdam where they go into hiding with other Jews. The diary ends suddenly on 1 August 1944. There are many important messages in this book, but the most important message is that all people have the right to live in freedom. Anne’s story shows us that just because people may be a different religion or race, doesn’t mean that they should be treated differently. The terrible treatment of Jewish people during the war has shown this. Her diary shows us things that people don’t think about now, for example how every day the people in hiding worried about maybe being found and punished.
