This novel that i am reading is a fantastic one. During it it invloves a love story between a girl and a boy. They end up falling in love with eachother and it was just a fantastic novel that i would love to read over and over again. This novel has gained a lot of my interest and i just don't want to put it down. It actually made reading fun for a change and now i just want to keep reading it over and over again. There are to Literary Elements in my book and it is point of view and conflict. i chose these because it explains so much in my book and that it what caught my attention in the whole novel.
Suden always said Riding a bike is the only thing she always missed out on. Even before her parents divorced she was cast in the role of little adult never making waves or mistakes and just always focusing on her grades and acedemics and her very demanding mother she has. Her mother was so demading that she is now speading the WHOLE summer with her dad in a tiny beach town of Colby and also with a new wife and kids.
NOw since the point of view is taking care of the conflict comes in. Auden had many conflicts in her life and would like to get rid of half of them. First, she really just wants her mother to for once get a long with her and love her for how she is and not how she acts and she is also very upset because of her father that now has a new wife and kids and she is worried that he will forget her now that those kids are here. Ske feels like she will be nothing in her family anymore and she really hope no one forgets about her. All they want in Auden to experience the carefree teenage life she has been denied all her life. Alos for Eli to put a tragic episode behind him. Once you combine two lonley people in a small beach town and all of the summer nights they fall inlove and just about anything can happen. During this i thjough Sarah Dessen created a rich world that readers will always hate to leave because it is so good of a story.
I think explaining the novel as a "rich world" is a perfect choice of words, Catherine. Dessen's novels are always so realistic. They make sense and are completely relatable to most of the readers which leads to a more interesting story.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about her conflicts? You perfectly explained her as a "little adult", but how do you think that affects her happiness? Does she enjoy it and do you think she can even leave it all behind and become immature? It's an interesting conflict. Becoming a "young" adult is both internal (in the fact that she probably wants to be a kid) and external (because people forced her to grow up).
What conflict do you think she suffers from the most and how can she overcome it?
