http://sharondraper.com/ I am reading the book Out of my Mind, By:Sharon Draper. This is a story of a young girl who has life at the roughest. She can't go to the bathroom alone, she can't dress herself, she can't feed herself or hold a drink by herself. She has just a horrible life. The wants to speak so much and she is a very intelligent child, but due to her disability she can't show it. Her neighbor teaches her many valuable things, but one day she found something amazing for Melody. She found a machine that allows Melody to talk! Now she can talk and interact with talk with all the other normal kids in her class.

Many kids in the past and present have disabilities.In the past the doctors and medical people did not have very advanced medical supplies to help make life easier for those people. Now in the present, we have a ton of new medial supplies. For people in the military, when in battle, if they loose a leg or arm, we have a way to give them that body part back so they can function like everyone else. Sadly, we have no way to stop children and adults from having disabilities, but with all our medial research, we can help them live a normal life.

This story teaches that even if you have a rough life, it can always get better. I observed that Penny(her little sister) gets more attention from her mom and her mom leaves her dad to do everything for Melody. I felt sad when her mother was crying because of the way Melody turned up. I wish that there was a was to cure diversities, so that they could live a normal life.
