"I am me. I may look like you, but if you take a closer look you will realize that I am nothing like you at all. I am very different. I see things through a completely different perspective because in my life I had experiences that you didn’t have, and I had feelings you didn’t have, and I’ve lived places and seen places and experienced life from a completely different point of view than you have. I may be wearing the same shoes and the same haircut, but that gives you no right to have any preconceived notions about what I am or who I am."
You are a book. Like Keith Haring’s quote said, you are unlike anyone else, with different experiences, perspectives and dreams. How can you define your individuality, your character, your uniqueness, by creating book?  How much freedom do you have by creating a book that defines you? What is a book?
This assignment is for us to "find ourselves". what Mrs. Rose means by this is to figure out who we are deep inside, we can use our own personal feelings to express us within our work. Our lives are similar to a book because we as  look forward to a new day, we are writing our pages as we go, whatever we do cannot be erased and rewritten. This is why its important to overlook the importance and value of life. 
The book keeper and Me is a good book for this project because it helps me express and show how proud i am of being an aboriginal. This books shows the importance of ones heritage and culture. This book tells the story of a man who endures many situations and overcomes them. Its truly inspiring and has a good visual display of what times where like for the aboriginal people. 
Book I Chose... Keeper and Me.
