"What is your favorite book and why?"
Wooow.. this is a difficult one for me, cuz i dont really have a favorite book.. but, i do have a few that i really like. Two books come to mind. The first one that came to mind was Anne of Green Gables, and i think the reason it is a favorite, is cuz it was one of the first chapter books i ever read. I also like it cuz i like the way Anne thinks. The way she tries to see the good in things, although her thinking got her in trouble a few times. She's a romantic. And, i really like that in her.
The other book i thought of is called, The Fire of the Covenant. It is a historical fiction book about the Willie/Martin Handcart pioneer trek. Several pioneers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints (the Mormons) took the journeous trek from New York to Utah, but a group of them, most from Europe and fairly poor, had the opportunity to go across the plains pulling handcarts instead of covered wagons. Unfortuantely, they got caught in the snow storms and had a tretcheous experience, some of them not making it to their journtey's end. The book blends a few fictionous families with real life historical figures, and their faith and determination to make it to the Salt Lake Valley. It's a really good book, and made me laugh and cry.
