Summary
I am currently reading the book George Washington by Lenny Hort. I chose this book because I enjoy learning about presidents and the events that occurred in their lives. George Washington was the first male president of the United States. The first chapter of the book talks about George Washington's life as a child. The book then transitions to his life as an adult and how he met the love of his life named Martha Dandridge Custis. On page 32 its states that "Martha was looking for a good stepfather for her two children and was also looking for a good manager for her large estate preferably in the same person." I never really understood how George met his wife but after reading that chapter I finally did. It may seem boring reading about George Washington but it really isn't. To me its not. Im reading this book and i'm being educated with facts about the first president that I never knew.
Genre
As a reader I know for a fact that the book "George Washington" is a Biography and is also non fiction. I know this because a book that is a biography is when an author writes about someones life. It is also non fiction because the book is based on facts,real events, and real people, its very similar to a Biography. I like many things about reading a biography like, learning new things about a certain person, having the ability to know more interesting things about someone. I don't read a lot of Biographies or Non-fictions, but I will be honest, I do like it. I usually like to read teen-fiction or realistic fiction but over time it starts to get a little boring reading the same type of genre books all the time. I would definitely read a Biography again.
