The 57 Bus- A Book that Will Make You to Rethink about GENDER

The 57 Bus is written by Dashka Slater, and this book is based on the fire crime that happened in Oakland, California. Also, this book mainly tells us about gender, including sexism. The main characters are Sasha and Richard. Sasha is an agender who cannot identify their gender, and Richard is homophobic who doesn’t like their same-gender people. The main theme of the story is People should not have any prejudice of gender.
In this book, three events show that my theme is correct. First, on page 59, Sasha looks like a boy, but Sasha likes to wear a skirt so, she wore a skirt at the bus stop, and old woman approached Sasha, “Why are you wearing a skirt? She demanded. You are not a girl!” and this shows that the theme is correct because this grandmother had the prejudice that a guy should not wear a skirt so, she blamed Sasha. Also, on page 67, The school didn’t allow girls to wear pants but only skirt, and this shows that this school has the prejudice that girls should wear a skirt, which made the girl students very angry, which led to a small protest toward the school. Lastly, on page 157, they said that Sasha likes to wear a skirt even though Sasha looks like a guy and one kid thought that guy wearing a skirt is weird so, this kid committed a crime against Sasha this shows that the boy had a prejudice that the guy wearing a skirt is weird which led to the crime. These three events show that prejudice of gender leads to a bad result so, the theme of this book will be People should not have any prejudice of gender.
By reading this book, I learned more about gender and the seriousness of sexism, and I will recommend this book if you like nonfiction books or you are interested in gender. Lastly, I will rate 3/5 because  I don’t like nonfiction books, but still, this is interesting.
