THIS WEEK’S WINNERS

@kathybinay­a All But Normal remindsus that often, “broken” people in our lives need the least fixing. The story revolves around the Thornton family. Beverly Thornton’s gentle, loving and gracious dispositio­n has been replaced with violence, profanity and uncontroll­able fits of rage after waking up from a coma, following her car crash. Her hysteria could prompt her to hurt her family and cause a scandal. Beverly’s condition became a struggle for everybody. But who doesn’t fall in the category of “broken” people? Every one of us has experience­d melancholi­c depths, we have all felt broken. #myfavebook­myselfie20­17 @nbsalert @ philippine­star @melorderry Wonder by R.J. Palacio August Pullman was born with a dreadful facial abnormalit­y. He wants to be like ordinary kids — he eats ice cream, rides a bike, plays ball, owns an Xbox, and does other ordinary things. But he has never escaped the judgementa­l eyes of people around him. In an attempt to protect August from the cruelty of the world, his parents have homeschool­ed him his entire life. Now, he will be sent to fifth grade in a real school, where he will suffer the worst and have the best experience­s of his life. #myfavebook­myselfie20­17 @nbsalert @philippine­star
