If a friend told me they were going blind it wouldn't matter its the same person I might need to help them with some things because they cant see. I would never want them to feel different then any other friend because they aren't. I have had this to happen to me I have a friend who can no longer see because he fell while playing hockey and got hit in the face with a stick that went through his eye and hit his brain. This means I understand how hard it can be to be friends with someone who is blind but I could never imagine how hard it would be to be blind myself.   
 
I think it is absolutely horrible that greed overpowers the life of a human being that people are willing to sell a child who has a long life ahead of them these kind of people should not be out on our streets in our neighbor hood. Anyone who can value money over a human being and sell them illegally then you should be spending your life behind bars in my opinion that is taking away a kids life that is just as bad as murder where you take away someone's life.
 
I liked it because it made me think how august felt while going through grade 5. I felt very bad for august when kids picked in him for who he is. I would rate this book 9/10.

1. I will read once or twice a week for 20 minutes before bed I will do this by stating tonight and including my parents in on this goal to help remind me
2. Help out more around the house without being asked to or getting a reward.

During this chapter i was introduced to Summer for the first time she is a nice girl who likes August for who he is and not what he looks like.
