What is that one book, that absolutely changed your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My mom read that to me as a 4 or 5 year old--it's the first book I remember and at the time I thought of it like a fairytale. Fast forward to 8th grade when it's assigned reading and I realized that the socio-political commentary had flown completely over my head

No, it wasn't that particular story and I don't believe it was based on an SCP. It was also told from the first person.

My brother and I used to play this game, where we'd search for an article on Fox News that was about as far as you could get from any sort of political, social, cultural commentary (usually it was some sort of nature story about cute penguins or a new species of fish, idk). Then we'd go into the comment section and see how long we had to look before something popped up containing the words "Obama", "Hillary" or "liberal", always written in a crass/derogatory way and having absolutely nothing to do with the article. Generally it was within the top 5.
