Keep an Open Mind

     There's always that one good or bad thing in every book. Some books don't have any good things. Some don't have any bad. My book was mostly good. Think Big by Ben Carson. Throughout the story he's recalling his personal life events and putting it into a lesson. The lesson is just what the title states, Think Big. But each letter stands for a lesson you should carry on in life.
T= Talent
H= Honesty
I= Insight
N= Nice
K= Knowledge

B= Books
I= In-depth Knowledge
G= God
     Some times in life we come across struggles that make us want to give up. But this book tries to walk you through your problems and follow the simple steps shown above. Ben has been through multiple struggles, like coming from a poor area, never having what other kids do, and being underestimated. But through his issue he came up with the saying above, and it helped him. This was probably the best advice I've heard in a while; especially from some one I've never met before. I think that everyone needs to read more to become successful. Maybe if you keep this in mind, your life could change, just like Ben's.

  3. I really like how you described the significance of the title in the book. One thing I would do is give a detailed summary of the book and its events and connect the title to that.
