Knock, Knock is more like sliding doors towards me personally; It impacted me as a human, because as humans, normally we have someone there for us, to help us guide through so much. Eventually fear will be a big factor, because we have never been by ourselves for along period of time, but it did help me understand that we all grow up, and we need to learn how to become someone on our own. Fire Bird mirrors me and my best friend so much, throughout the story, the narrator and Misty have a really close friendship. This helped me realize to cherish friendship especially strong ones, but to also enjoy little things in life. The Invisible Boy is a book where i would like to open myself more than I already do, but to also understand that it is okay to feel alone, at one point everyone feels like that. But understanding this made me realize to at least to talk to others about how you feel, or maybe eventually make new friends.
