Worthwhile Memorization
There are a countless amount of books that are deemed valuable to future civilization in terms of their respective ideas, stories, characters, and their points of view. The authors of the books I have chosen portray their story in a very distinct manner. This is why I have chosen them: because no other books have the same effect to the heart and mind.

Theories of Relativity is a novel that is crucial for people of all ages to read and save from the firemen. This book teaches about hope as well as human sympathy.

Throughout the story, he narrates his struggle to find shelter, food and acceptance. He has nothing except his "theories." He makes up "theories" about human nature. For example, he has one on how only every fourth person will offer him spare change. This is a very disturbing story of how a young man tries to live on the streets while trying to make contact with the family he was forced to leave behind as well as trying to free a fellow homeless person from her life as a prostitute. When his father got his mom pregnant, he "never showed up for [his] birth and he left town soon after" (Haworth-Attard 14). After the main character visits his dad, he soon finds out that his dad is a helpless drunk who refuses to do anything for him. Then he meets a man who changes his life. For Christmas, he gets a present...
