Before I get too off topic here's my main jist on this book: the characters. I mean you wouldn't expect much of characters to be revealed in like the first 50 pages but authors is throwing stuff at you, barely giving you a chance to take a breather. Hey I mean I'm not complaining because it's keeping me quite interested in this novel so far. My main concern with one of the main characters, Galen, is "wow he's gonna have a hard time getting married." Yes I know that's a little strange but if you saw this character and how much he second guesses himself you'll agree with me that he'll NEVER sack himself a girlfriend but else then even think about marriage. I mean this guy gets an idea and totally thinks about way too much too the point where he gets lost in his own forest of thoughts. My advice for him- DON'T THINK. JUST DO IT.
Then, there's the other main character Emma whose problem is that she just needs to breathe. I mean one embarrassing thing happens to her and three weeks later she's still thinking about it. And that embarrassing thing? It was her running into a stranger guy she didn't even know, in a state where she doesn't even live in. Supposedly she become "stuck onto him" just for a few seconds but still thats not as bad as some of the things others have done. Like me and my embarrassing moments. But seriously she just needs to forget things and kinda move on with her life. For example after she ran into the guy she kept bringing it back, by saying something along the lines of, "Yeah, I know. Smacked into him remember?" (Banks 16).The more she is going to think about it, the more she is going to fall in her own subconscious thought. So my advice for her- JUST LET IT GO. FORGET THINGS.

I could not agree with you more on you advice to Emma. I feel like that is the same advice that should be given to half the kids in our school!
ReplyDeleteI really like your voice in this post. It was entertaining and I like when you use all caps. I also enjoy your funny input and comments on the characters. And I can relate to your first paragraph, as well! :)
ReplyDeleteDude, your blog makes me laugh. Not a lot of people can do that, so congrats! I feel like basically everyone in school needs some of that advice. Some people need both. I really dig your voice, it really sounds like you are talking to at my house.
ReplyDeleteYour voice was very strong in this post. I love your blog post too!
ReplyDeleteActually, I really like this book. Mostly because it's an amusing blend of romance. But I can see what you mean by Galen being a thinker and a sociopath, and Emma overly thinking things. My advice? (Oh, the irony) just ignore their problems like you ignore your loved ones problems. Pretend you actually like them.
ReplyDeletevery nice voice in this blogpost, good job
ReplyDeleteI like how you gave advice for the characters; it was was an interesting topic to blog about.
