I Never Promised You a Rose Garden
I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, written by Joanne Greenberg, has by far been the most difficult book to read and understand. With its difficulty aside, I couldn't set the book down. I found it so interesting to read what goes on inside a person's head who suffers from schizophrenia. It made me understand and appreciate why people with a mental illness behave the way they do. We can't see what goes on in their thoughts, or what they are feeling. So why are we so quick to judge? This book has taught me not to judge, or laugh at a person's behavior while suffering from an illness. It has made me have a greater sympathy and respect for the sufferers of mental illnesses. I can't imagine living in the mentality world as Deborah Blau. Her world was so real to her, the world of Yri. She couldn't escape. She couldn't betray her god Anterrabae. Imagine walking one day in her shoes. It's a scary thought.
