About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

These are stories that made me think about life choices we all make. I need to be more aware of people around me and consider the struggles they may be dealing with.

This book is mainly about life lessons and how being persistent pays off. It talks about different struggles people have to got through to survive life and be successful. It's motivating and it touched my heart. I can relate to a couple of stories.

Q10: As I read today, the story " life over death" surprised me because it gives me a new look about saving life from death.Sometimes when I meet the death animal lying on the ground, I think it would be died and they are not mine, and I just pass them and if they died because of something, they would have God's blessing. I don't need to save them or bring them to the vent like the man in the "life over death". When he doesn't know whether the cat died or not,he looks at the cat's funny face and see it can move. Then he bring it to the vent immediately and quickly to save it although it is not his. This man who save the cat's life from death makes me feel regret what I've done.

Q11 ;when i read the story " becoming a reader" again tomorrow. I hope there are kind and forgivable people in Mary Sherry's life who is disable woman to read and write. I feel sorry for her because she meets rude and harsh people who don't support her or give forgiveness to her. They chase her like she is a stupid person.Therefor, she is not stupid like they thought, she tries to learn read and write as much as she can, although it is the biggest difficulty in her life. When I read this story, I asked myself that" If there are not disable people in the world, will the world still die????

Q13: I would change my own life by having a very strict person, who always forces me to what I'm lazy to do because when I read the story" Do it better " I think my own life should have a strict person like the mother in this story. Also, I feel like I study without purpose for my own life, I think I dont do homework as good as I can, so that's why I need someone who always makes schedule for me to do in school and life. However, if there is a harsh person in my life, I can not control everything by myself.

Question 14 (pg 1-52)

This book is real stories in the life. Every story will be a valuable lesson for variety of people. This book has many authors, so i think that they want us know that every people may have some trouble in anywhere. Besides that, they want to talk with us that is have to try to overcome and then we can solve them completely.
The authors got the ideas and the characters from some places that the real stories is happened, and also it may be from themselves. That's why somebody say that nobody is perfect.
Actually, the authors in this book is trying to share one message for us is shouldn't give up.I believe that everybody has a chance to finish it.
