Describe a book that I read that changed my perspective on something. That’s a wonderful question. I don’t usually read but one of the book that I have to read was a historical book about the World War II which I read when I was in my history class. So knowing about the World War II, I have two perspective. The one that I read from my Indonesian history book and the one that actually on the United States version is quite different from the point of view and everything and it’s just mind-blowing for me that there are some misconception from the Indonesian version versus the United States version. There’s a lot of more detail on the American one because I guess it has more impact on the United States itself while in Indonesia we learn it as like a general world history.
