My name is Michael Tahiru ,a junior at Hebron Academy. I have a strong interest in reading and making critical analysis of books. Over the years, I have enjoyed and fallen in love with books that connect fiction to reality. Indeed they say the best stories are the true ones and I’m not surprised Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried remain one of my all time favorites. Some of the articles I have written have appeared in the HEBRON REVIEW and I look forward to working as a WRITER’S BLOCK editor next year.
