*story review*
Now she is a girl who is afraid of going outside without
sunscreen on, and a girl who is afraid of doing the things she loves. All of
this was because she was scared of catching some kind of disease that might
kill her. Annie even started going as far as looking up the symptoms of diseases
in a medical book, so that she can now if she got something that might kill. She
wants no surprises. Even though her family and friends keep telling her that
she is fine, she doesn’t listen.
So when a new neighbour (Mrs. Finch) moves in across from
Annie’s home. Annie goes and tries to say hi but ends up getting injured. That’s
when the new neighbour goes outside and see’s that Annie is injured so she welcomes
Annie in to her home so that Mrs. Finch can help her with her wound. So that’s
when they get to know each other and find out they have lots in common. So Mrs.
Finch tells Annie that it’s not always good to be too careful because then she
will miss out on the fun on life.
*Christian
perspective*
Well this book is not really from a Christian perspective
because the character didn't really listen to what her family and friends where
telling her. She was way too careful with life and didn’t know how to have fun
with life. In the end it took a new neighbour who can relate to her problem to
show her that she can’t keep being so afraid of everything because then she
will lose out on what life has in store for her.
I thought this story was really interesting and fun to read
through. The character was really different than most characters in books like
this. So it was fun to see what she was going to do next. It thought me a lot
in a way because am a person who is not careful at all with what I do, so it
thought me to be careful, but not too careful. I would definitely recommend
this book to people who would enjoy reading this kind of book and benefit from
it like I did and see what new kind of disease are out there to learn.
Enjoy :)

All of this was because she was scared of catching some kind of disease that might kill her.

Like everything in life, moderation is the key. Being too careful is bad because you will miss out on all the fun, risky things in life. Not being careful enough can also be bad because planning ahead can often help eliminate injury. I'm happy that you recognized where you fit in and learned some things from the book. Great book review Emnet!
