Speak
by Laurie Halse Anderson

This book is important because it helps young people to recognise both the signs of sexual assault/PTSD and the manners in which cisgender men, may be toxic people. Adults must teach how not to victim-blame the survior of this type of trauma, especially. Helped me feel less alone when I was going through a similar mental health crisis. Unity is crucial for healing.

I really enjoyed seeing the how the different animals coincide with current political figures and how we can be like sheep following the pigs.

It's a great book but the sketches make it a little harder to see. But overall it's an amazing book.

White Fragility

I listened to the audiobook of this. I found it very informative. I know some people are annoyed by some of the things Diangelo says, but she makes a lot of fair points and references a lot of research, as well as combines it with some of her personal experiences. One of the takeaways I have is that you can't break it down to just good and bad. The racist = bad and not racist = good. We can't escape racism because it's embedded in our societal norms. Our laws and rules. All we can do is learn and be better. No one is exempt from racism. Even those who study equity and work to be antiracist sometimes slip up. We (white people, mostly) make inappropriate comments or don't realize that certain things we say or do harm other people. No matter how hard we try to be "good" and not racist, we can't escape the racist ways of this country. All we can do is continue to learn and grow.

I liked how her writing improved as I read the book. My heart absolutely broke for her when she discusses she's HIV positive. Also, her yearning for love and being completely confused by what it is.

This was very interesting. I was able to empathize with the authors family history and struggle with his identify.

The entire book all I wanted to do was make Buck my dog and spoil him like crazy. The beatings by Man and dog fights were a lot to read, but I'm glad he found John, even for a little while.
