"When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive." -Alan Paton

I agree with Paton's statement. You will never be able to get over something and heal if you can't forgive. For example, a drunk driver killed two 20 year old girls. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison and the family of both girls were happy because they thought the judge brought justice. After some time the family of the girls decided to forgive the man and wrote a letter to him. The letter said that they forgive him for what he did. Not only did the family forgive him, but they also asked the judge to cut his time in half. The judge agreed. One of the moms said she did this because the only way to continue healing was to forgive. She was mad for some time when it, but she has learned to forgive and heal. The drunk driver is very thankful and realizes his mistakes.

This book is about a guy named Guy Montag that is a fireman but instead of putting out fires he sets them. The book is set in the 24th century and books are banned because they make people think. After about 10 years working as a fireman he meets 17 year old Clarisse McClellan who makes him realize that his job is wrong. Also, over the Thanksgiving break I attended a Key Club event. In this event I helped out with the counting of how many toys were left over from last years toy drive. This year city council plans to give away 5,000 toys in their annual toy drive so I was asked help with inventory. It was a great experience and I would definatly do it again. Lastly, my family and I met togther at ...
