Reasons to Be Happy

I have recently started to read the great novel How to Be Happy by Katrina Kittle. This book is very real for me. It hits on a lot of topics that I can relate to.  The main topic is fitting in. The girl Hannah in the book feels like she has to change her body image to fit in with the other girls. I personally can see where she is coming from. For example sometimes you don't want to wear a shirt that you love just because you think other people will judge you. In the book Hannah struggles with her weight and she wants to change the way that she appears in order to make herself happy but mostly others happy. I think that we can all learn from this book because you shouldn't have to change who you are to make others happy.

The author throughout the story adds blurbs of things that make Hannah happy. Like "Silly Putty, Hammocks and Slinkies" (pg 43). I think that everybody should do this to remember to do the things that make you happy and don't worry about what others think of you. What are some things that make you happy?

  2. This book sounds very interesting. It is always very important to be yourself and not to worry about fitting in. However it sounds easy to relate to.
