Band 7+: Describe a book that influenced you greatly. You should say: - What the book was about - When you read it - What you learned from it And explain why it had such an impact on you.

What I read recently is the silent patient outside. It is like a psychological thriller. It’s basically about a person, a woman who is completely silent. She is in sort of like a psych hospital and people are trying to investigate about what happened to her but she cannot speak. She doesn’t speak basically. And the person, the man, the psychiatrist who’s actually in charge of her. You know, we see the entire story from his point of view and it has an incredible recipient. I read it, I think a few months ago, before my 12th grade final exam, I was feeling really bored and restless and that’s when I read it. And I learned a lot, like it is an incredible example of unreliable narrator because the person, the man who narrated the entire thing turns out that he is the one who did this to her. he’s the one to guilt so it’s honestly a life lesson in general just to not trust people like i was so flabbergasted um by the revelation at the end and it had a really big impact on me i was floored and i like it was a really good book and i did not see that coming at all
