Informative,yet enjoyable



This a book on Judy Garland from child hood to adult hood
This week we have been delving into non-fiction.When I think of non-fiction books,usually large,bulky,hard to carry and boring comes to mind. I have in the last week found that those adjectives may not be entirely fair.The examples given by Professor Pickett actually sounded interesting.When we were talking about the different types of non fiction books there are out there we started talking about the different personalities we were intrigued by. My first choice was Judy Garland because I know a little of her story and I've always battled with my weight like her. She also sang like a bird. I love to sing myself.My second choice was Shirley Temple becacuse she as well was an entertainer.I really looked forward to a book for either lady. Natalie had a chance to go to her elementary school library and find the biography of Shirley Temple Black. It was extremely interesting.I almost finished it. When we ran out of time I was on the last page. I did get to learn alot about her. I also found out that she was one of the first advocates for breast cancer. She even had the press come for a bedside interview after her surgery. She spent most of her life helping others by working for causes She made sure to encourage women that if they found something that seemed not right to check with their doctor. She went into politics unsuccessfuly but she still kept on. She is still alive today.The book I read today is very interesting. I am not usually into non fiction but this is non fiction you can get in to.
