Is it important to be true to who you are? Why or why not?
Definitely yes to be true to who you are because many people in this world care others people more than their feeling. They thought that they need to change himself to make other love them or acting something that is not showing who they are. Sometimes there action can be calling Fake or untrue. So, I think the best thing to act and be true to yourself is act like who you are, don’t care about others people who isn’t love you or your friends—sometimes they just jealous of you. Act like what you want and change some action that you friends don’t like and be a better version of yourself.

How does what you learned in this unit connect to the real world?
We learned how to grow as a reader and thinker. This unit when we read a standard 8th grader book, we also learned new skills to use for a higher-level thinking. For example, signposts that have about 6 post that will help us think deeper and solve the problems in the book by asking yourself questions. This can connects to the real world because when you are stuck on something or you have no ideas what is the book want to tell us about then try to think deeper and notice to the texts that the author had make because it’s not happen by accident the author will hide something to make us think and guess so that make the reader have fun with the book and like to predict what will happen next. This is how we grow as a reader and thinker in the same time that we learn.
