Yes, I Am


“...our job wasn’t to argue voters into supporting Stein, it was to provide them with information they needed to make the right choice...”

This book written by David Levithan is something that is unique for it is the first book I have read that really underlined the words that need emphasis. I like the idea because similar is done when you are making a script in a production and you want to do the same.

“We will not be moved.
We will not be moved.
We will not be moved.”

I was able to relate to it because it talks about politics. At present, I am actively participating in school politics. You really have to stand in everything you believe and fight for what is right. Though it is small in nature, it was a start, a stepping stone for me to care enough in the national politics now that I am a registered voter and now that another election is coming near.

“We all are a part of history.”

I also like the idea that it talks about change, something that my party and I are pursuing for. It has already started, actually, and we will make it continuous and constant. I am happy that I am a part of it.

Though the story is about politics, it also talks about all kinds of relationship: divine, family, friends, same sex, opposite sex. It’s about faith, love, and friendship.

This is actually the first David’s known book that I have read and I encountered it because of sale, from Php305 to Php40. I don’t know his distinct writing style yet, but it is evident that his genre is love. The first book that I've been searching for so long that I haven’t found yet is entitled “Are We There Yet” but it seems out of stock all the time.

Anyway, I think you would not believe that he also has written something for children. I don’t know if it is his very first product that I did not know exists but nonetheless, it is good and that would be my next entry.

“’Change,’ they sung, ‘it comes eventually.’”
