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 …show more content…

At one point, Finch sends a message to Violet online, after painting his room blue, "The Cassidy 2 only thing I leave alone is the ceiling, because white contains all the wavelengths of the visible spectrum at full brightness. Okay, this is technically true of white light and not white paint, but I don't care. I tell myself that all the colors are there anyways, and this gives me an idea . . . 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

I relished that the author helped Lily to experience such a peaceful view in her time of distress. Another quote I would like to include is, “A barge of mist floated along the water, and dragonflies, iridescent blue ones darted back and forth like they were stitching up the air. I t was such a pretty sight for a second I forgot the heavy feeling id carried since T. Ray had told me about my mother” (Monk Kidd). I appreciated this part of the passage because it created such magical scenery that strayed away from the darkness that was read by the readers in the previous passages. I saw a little bit of joy to liven up the darkness that I read previously about issues with her father.

Nevertheless, the main character, Jim Smiley is extremely interesting and I 'm glad that I chose it.

Lensey Namioka’s description of both the American and Chinese culture emphasizes just how difficult it proved to be for the Lin family to adapt to American culture they practically know nothing about. The Lin family would seem strange to an American by they way they pulled the strings out of their celery before eating it. The Gleason’s would continuously help the Lin family adapt to the American culture.

One of the most common emotions Teasdale expresses is love. Nature’s beauty is often intensified to the viewer when in love, so by talking of nature in a very passionate way, the reader can interpret the narrator’s feelings. In “Blue Squills,” the narrator says, “How many million Aprils came / Before I ever knew / How white a cherry bough could be, / A bed of squills, how blue.” The narrator is seeing the world as if in a whole new light and feeling intensely for the beauty around her, due to the intense feelings she has inside.

He could not handle the insults and judgments anymore; it was time to be happy once again. To be with people who appreciated one another and the world they live in.
