My Review:
My Favorite Character is Jared, who is a sweet older brother that I found to be kind, caring, and patient with his sister.
Thoughts: This is a short story with a big message for girls nowadays. In a way this story made me sad that girls often act like this, thinking that they have to look, act, be a certain way because of other people and what they think.
My Verse for this story: Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (King James Version)
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (King James Version)
I don’t use this verse as a way of justifying not eating or eating a certain way but as a reminder!
