The book “The 57 Bus” by Dashka Slater is about gender discrimination and gender inequality. The theme here is people should respect and treat LGBTQ individuals fairly. The main characters were Sasha and Richard. One day, because Sasha was wearing a skirt, Richard burned him. It was discrimination. Fortunately, Richard was sentenced, and people started to understand and help Sasha. Few days after the incident 150 supporters marched along the route of the 57 bus, saying “Accept Everyone.” Not only protests happened, but people also started to donate to Sasha. Sasha received a lot of gifts from individuals in a different country. Furthermore, Sasha’s uncle raised more than 36,000 dollars by donation. Throughout the incidents, it was an opportunity for people to remind themselves that LGBTQ people like Sasha have a certain gender. However, they are not different from us, so we should treat them without prejudice. The reason that you should read this book is that it worths reading it since it tells lots of lessons to you. It is an interesting book that explains gender discrimination and sexism. Sometimes, it might be surprising to you by a character’s action. One of the things that I learned in this unit is note-taking skills. I learned multiple techniques to take good notes of the book and rereading skills. By these techniques, it helped me to understand the book.
