When we had to read this in 7th grade I was so full of angst and wanting to be different that I decided I hated it before I even finished the first chapter. I hate being told what to do so I angrily trudged through this book to get the assignments done and always told everyone I hated it, especially when people said how much they loved it. 

I decided to give it another chance, having matured slightly, and I am so glad I did. This is such an important story and I feel guilty for ever hating it. I can't believe it took me 12 years to realize it.
