sentence all but certain.

point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

for.”
人们通常看到的是他们想看的，听到的也是他们想听的。
“Before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one

This book takes you through waves of emotion as you start to understand the
full context of the main character, the 9-year-old son of the Auschwitz
commandant. Taking place during the Holocaust, we witness the horror from his
perspective, a boy who just wants friends. You’ll be shocked by some of the more
startling aspects of the book as the boy, Bruno, befriends one of the Jewish
boys on the other side of the fence.

You probably know the true story; a girl writes a deep and introspective
diary while hiding in an absurdly small crawlspace for two years with other
Jewish fugitives during the Holocaust. The sad foreboding throughout the story
is palpable, especially as you progressively become attached to each of these
people who were real human beings going through the ordeal.

It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they
seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of
everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.
我至今没有放弃所有的理想真是个奇迹，虽然它们看上去有些荒唐，甚至根本无法实现。但我要保留它们，因为无论如何我仍然相信人类本性是美好的。

This is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cry, as it
chronicles the experiences of teens who are dying from cancer and living their
last days in love. Their lifestyle is tragic and jarring at the same time, as we
watch them deteriorate. The real tragedy is the love story between the main
characters, who know that their romance is doomed.
这本书可能是这10本中最容易催人泪下的一本，因为它讲述了一个患有癌症的少年，在生命的最后也对生活充满爱的故事。他的生活也是很悲惨的，很让人痛心，因为我们只能眼睁睁的看着病情恶化，但却什么都做不了。真正的悲剧是男女主角的爱情故事，因为他们都很清楚他们之间没有任何结果。
