In the writing titled “Joe From Idaho” written by Patricia Friend I felt her writing about her best friend Joe left me feeling that there are a lot of good people in the world.  I do not have dyslexia or I am not autistic, therefore I do not relate to this article.  I feel in today’s world people who are different are not accepted in today’s society.  Patricia accepts Joe because she said, “These things made Joe different, but  I had never thought of him as different.  I just thought of him as my new friend.”  I see people in m life that make fun of people who are different.  This article makes me happy because it is good to see that there are great people in the world.  Sometimes in life it is good to not be normal.
