Okay, so I don’t really read books that much so there isn’t any book that has significantly impacted my life but let me tell you about novels that I read. It was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory I remember I read it back in the sixth standard although it was a coursework for us but I really enjoyed reading it. So the author of this book is Charles Dickens and he is a very very famous author. At that time I didn’t knew him very well but as a crew old I saw that he has written a lot of books and to be honest if I weren’t that busy with my life I would have gotten into reading a lot of other books from him but I wasn’t really into reading. So I didn’t got into that. So let me tell you what the story was about. So the story was about this little kid who was very poor. They didn’t even had a bread to eat in the dinner and it was very, very bad for his family. He had a really, really big family. His mother’s parents were living with him, his father’s parents were living with him. He had two siblings of his own. And I remember that in that story, that guy, I don’t remember his name, but that child, that child was praying to God that if something can happen, please do happen. that story that that particular stance that really hit me and that really also helped me improve my religious beliefs as well. So that’s how it impacted me. So what happened was he prayed for it, he prayed that he get rich and apparently he got the golden ticket, he got into the factory and became the new owner of Willy Wonka’s new factory. So yeah that’s how it changed my opinion before reading it. To be honest I had no opinion on it but after reading it I this was the first time I read a book.

Okay, so I don't really read books that much, so there isn't any book that has significantly impacted my life. But let me tell you about a novel that I read. It was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I remember I read it back in the sixth standard, although it was coursework for us, but I really enjoyed reading it. The author of this book is Roald Dahl, and he is a very famous author. At that time, I didn't know him very well, but as I grew older, I saw that he had written a lot of books. To be honest, if I weren't so busy with my life, I would have gotten into reading a lot of other books by him, but I wasn't really into reading, so I didn't pursue that. Let me tell you what the story was about. The story was about this little kid who was very poor. They didn't even have bread to eat for dinner, and it was very bad for his family. He had a really big family. His mother's parents were living with him, his father's parents were living with him, and he had two siblings of his own. I remember that in that story, the boy, I don't remember his name, was praying to God that if something could happen, please let it happen. That particular scene really hit me and also helped me improve my religious beliefs. So that's how it impacted me. What happened was he prayed for it; he prayed that he would get rich, and apparently, he got the golden ticket. He got into the factory and became the new owner of Willy Wonka's factory. So yeah, that's how it changed my opinion. Before reading it, to be honest, I had no opinion on it, but after reading it, this was the first time I read a book.
