Book Report On Me And Earl And The Dying Girl By Jesse Andrews

“Me and Earl and The Dying Girl” is a book written by Jesse Andrews. It was kind of like a “diary” of the main character, Greg. He's described as an ‘overweight loser’ that is antisocial, and as Greg said, “Girls like good-looking guys, and I am not very good-looking, In fact, I sort of look like a pudding”, so that basically describes him. I didn’t really like him because he expected to get all these girls but he described himself as ugly and overweight. The other main characters is Earl, and the dying girl with cancer whose name is Rachel. Earl is Greg’s best friend, but he doesn't describe him as a friend, he described him more as a co-worker. Earl is quiet and is always mad. He’s short and if you mention anything about his height he

She was his old girlfriend back in Hebrew school that he used to make another girl jealous. Obviously that backfired and they lost contact until now. Greg didn’t want to speak to Rachel but his mom kept pressuring him until he actually did. It took a while for Rachel to accept his offer of hanging out and when they did they all build a mutual friendship. Later on in the story, Greg introduces Earl to Rachel when she told them she was going into chemo therapy and was losing all her hair. Earl and Greg met in kindergarten and soon discovered that they both loved movies and they started to make homemade films of movies they liked. One day, Earl invited Rachel to watch all the films they had made. Later on, when they were a little closer to Rachel, they decided that they were going to make a film for her so she could get better. When she watched it, she loved everything about the film and told Greg that it was one of her favorites she’s ever watched before she had died. Originally, they wanted the film to be about her, but Greg soon realized that it was just a whole bunch of random clips of him and Earl goofing off and put together with bad lighting. He felt guilty because “it should’ve been just about Rachel and nothing else”. The second half of the book is all about making “Rachel The

One of my favorite quotes of this book was when Earl was trying to convince Greg not to let her death affect him and his choices. “This is the first...negative thing that has happened to you in your life. And you can't be overreacting to it and making big-ass expensive decisions based on it. People die. But you gotta live your own life” Earl says to Greg. Before Rachel died, she made Greg promise that he was going to go to film school and submit his movies in. Greg wanted to keep his promise but Earl stepped in and gave him this little speech. He was going to do it, even though that was not what he wanted to do, but he thought about it just to please Rachel’s wishes.It's my favorite because he's being honest with him and so is the author of the book. In the end, she doesn't change Earl’s and Greg’s life or gives them life changing advice and they go follow it and it wasn't one of those stories where everything she says had also some type of meaning to it. It doesn't teach about the type of cancer she had, which was leukemia, and how she kept fighting to stay alive or how she suffered beautifully. Rachel had given up but a lot sooner than most people in books with cancer would. It is it's own book and own original story. Of course, cancer isn't beautiful in any way, but in other books it makes it looks that way to make it look less
