Welcome to Litsy!

A bit late for last week‘s #LitFortuneCookie

This one brought to mind Robin Williams and The Dead Poet‘s Society. A heavy and hard hitting book! A.so a great film.

I‘m super late with this—I‘ve been totally distracted by the election—but the prompt immediately made me think of the tagged middle grade book. It‘s the story of a girl who is hiking in a slot canyon with her father when there‘s a flash flood. They are separated & she loses all her gear. She has to believe in herself, trust her skills, & use everything she‘s learned to survive the night & find her father.

Maybe Albus Dumbledore fits this fortune 😂

I definitely thought of Paul Atreides when I first read this fortune cookie! After he and his mother are stranded in the sands of Arrakis, he joins up with the Fremen and learns their ways, completely becoming integrated with them. This education saves both him and his mother! 💕📚

These 2 books and the authors represent “the ability to meet life‘s situations”. Both Crenshaw and Westover faced tragic situations and thrived despite their misfortunes. #litfortunecookie

It‘s been a while since I‘ve read it, but as I recall there‘s quite a bit of this sort of education in the tagged book.

#litfortunecookie I could not stop at one “education is the ability to meet life‘s situation” thanks @Ruthiella for the tag.
Anyone else want to share books related to this fortune?

Thank you for this #LitFortuneCookie @KVanRead 😊

The first character who came to mind for me was Scout Finch from “To Kill a Mockingbird”. Scout learns many hard lessons in the book... life is often not fair, justice isn‘t always served, and bad things can happen to good people. 😔 While Scout‘s education is not a happy one, it does open her eyes to the grim realities of life, and helps her to be more discerning in what she chooses to believe.

I love this book and hope more people read it. Thanks for the tag @KVanRead and good luck and good thoughts to all of us tomorrow. #litfortunecookie

I couldn‘t think of any fictional characters off the top of my head. What came to mind was what learning to read/communicate meant for Helen Keller. A whole world opened up for her that was always there but until then inaccessible.

Want to give it a go @Chrissyreadit and tag a book that fits the theme of the fortune cookie?
