Boy Or Girl

                In my ELA class, we were talking a lot about what makes a book a boy book or a girl book. In my opinion there isn't really a clear line between a boy book or a girl book. For example, sure some boys won't want to read a book with so called "girl problems" in them but some boys like book like that, i think it really depends on the person. 

                For example  lets look at the book The outsiders by S.E Hinton. This book is about a boy and his life in a gang area living with only his two brothers. The main character, Ponyboy, faces what you would call "boy problems," like girls and growing up, but i didn't think that I couldn't relate to him. I felt when he was struggling and was happy for him when he was happy. 

                Sure there might be some topics that some girls like reading, but some boys don't, or the opposite. But that doesn't mean there are boy books, or girl books, because in my opinion, books are just books.
