Book Title: Silas Marner

Author: George Eliot

Selection Statement:

Among the several themes explored in this book, the one that captured my fancy was the "power of trust." The ability to trust your fellow men and seeing only the best in them can, in the long run, provide immense satisfaction.


As an educator, trusting my students in their ability to do their very best is what I bring to the classroom. In return, my students have never disappointed me and teaching has been a joyous experience.
