         In the book  Rules by Cynthia Lord is a book about 13 year old Catherine who is always making up rules for her brother, David who has autism. Catherine then befriends a boy named Jason who is paraplegic, and uses a book to communicate. The theme of this story is that there is problems with all of us, and you shoudn't judge that person because of there problems.

         An example of this is that at first, Catherine didn't want to go to the dance with Jason because she thought that her appearance will be bad if she comes wit Jason. In the book, Catherine didn't want to come when Jason asked her. this connects to the theme of the story because Catherine didn't want to go to the dance because of Jason's "problem."To conclude, Catherine thought her image will be bad if she went to the dance with Jason.
        Another example that shows that you shouldn't judge a person because of there so called "problem", is that Catherine didn't want to go to Jason's birthday party because she had to bring her brother, and she thought that her brother will embarrass her in front of Jason.In the book,  Catherine had an argument with her mom about going to the party and bringing her brother, David.Catherine thought bringing David will be an embarrassment because of his autism.
       But in the end, Catherine went to the dance with Jason and had a great time with him. She learned that she shouldn't think about a person because of their "problem."So in conclusion, know that we all have some sort of problem with us, so don't look at other people because of their problem, but how they are as a person.
