Jonh Livingston Seagull

Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a book written by Richard Bach, a American written who was before a pilot from the American army. This book was published in 1970 in USA.

The book tells the story of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a seagull who is bored to only fly for food. He has an enormous passion for flight, that's why he learns everything he cans about flying because he wants to improve his performante. But his willingness to conform to his clan leads to his expulsion. This book is composed of 3 parts. In the first part of the book, Jonathan Livingston explains that he frustrated of all this conformity and this limits of the seagull life. In the second one, Jonathan learns to fly differently. Sullivan helps him to perfect his technique and Chiang teaches him how to fly by thoughts.And in the third one, Jonathan meets his new pupil who was excluded by the Clan. Months after months, he has more and more pupils, all excluded, who wants to learn how to be free by flying.

I choose this book because my cousin recommended it to me. I appreciated this book because it is inspirational. This is an allegory of liberty : we have to demand liberty as a right, we have to be what we want to be. In this book, Jonathan Livingston Seagull is fighting against conformity. Indeed, in this book, Seagull used to fly to eat but Jonathan rebels to fly because he loves it, to go beyond his limits. In our lives, we have to exceed our boundaries. As the author said "this is a story for people who follow their dreams and make their own rules ; a story that has inspired people for decades”.This fable is about the importance of making the most of our lives. This book proves us that if we follow our dreams, we can soar too .

I recommend you this book because it teaches us how to follow our dreams and reached ou goals, no matter what anyone else might think.
