After reading the novel Twisted, written by Laurie Halse Anderson, I have become more aware of how different emotions and attitudes that people have can positively or negatively affect how they’re viewed by society.

If this is true, then why are there people who do not fit within the characteristics of the sign, or like Grendel have characteristics from all signs? In the his novel, Grendel, John Gardner incorporates each chapter of the book with a distinct astrological sign, to display the growth and withdraw in Grendel's philosophical development. The different zodiacs in each chapter are parallel to Grendel’s spiritual evolution, constantly seeking to understand the world around him and himself. Through the chapters of the book, it can be seen that all zodiac animals are interdependent of each other, and this tears Grendel apart emotionally.
It is important to remain realistic in a relationship. It is easy to get lost in the ideas created by our peers and media of how a romance should be. We learn that it is possible to find somebody you are exactly compatible with, that it is possible to find a perfect match in which there will be no compromise, nor errors within your relationship. The idea we have in this age of relationships is altered and unsupported, and it can lead to a cruel awakening when we find ourselves in our own relationships.

An astrology sign is a sign that you have depending on when you were born. For example, someone who is a Pisces was born between February 19 to March 20. Although the author of Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson, didn’t tell us when each character was born, I assumed which astrology sign they were due to their characteristics. After researching each astrology sign, I found information about the likes and dislikes of each sign. This helped me make a decision of which sign I felt fit each character.
