Mla Citation For All The Bright Places

For this project, the book I chose was All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. I think this is now one of my all time favorite books, too. I really loved it. The story is about high school seniors Violet Markey and Theodore Finch, who goes by Finch. They meet at the top of their school's bell tower, and it's unclear who saves who. They both have completely different reasons. For Violet, she has lost her way after her sister Eleanor's death 9 months prior. For Finch, he is battling mental illness. After this, the two strike up an unlikely friendship, and end up working on a school assignment together, where they have to explore their home state (Indiana). Through these "Wanderings", they get closer. The way the story is written in dual narration made it come to life as a story of friendship, love, and loss that felt real. I chose to write a song

I sign onto the computer and send a message to Violet. You are the colors all in one, at full brightness" (Niven 194). I based a few lines off this quote. Another important concept I incorporated was the use of the word "lovely" throughout the book. On one of their Wanderings, they make it to the top of the Purina Tower. Violet, at a loss for words at how beautiful it is, simply says, "It's lovely". Finch says that, "'Lovely' is a lovely word that should be used more often" (Niven 175). The characters consequently describe many things as lovely throughout the rest of the book, continuing to the end in a song Finch wrote for
