855 Words4 Pages

In the ending of my book Eleanor and Park, by Rainbow Rowell there was both the falling action and the resolution. The falling action is a plan hatched in the heat of Eleanor's deleterious father catching her and Park coming home from a date. Their plan was that of an escape. Park borrowed the family truck from his dad. This was the first point in the conclusion of Eleanor and Park that I saw a complete change in what I had been expected out of this book. Parks dad who I had though was judgmental they actually had this implicit understanding of what had to be done. "Call me when you get there." (296.51). This is what Park's dad says to Park before giving him instructions on how to stat safe. Earlier in the story Park's dad would have screamed …show more content…

Park says "He didn't ride the bus anymore, because he'd have the whole seat to himself" (313.55), Omaha felt empty for Park without Eleanor. Eleanor had a similary feeling in St.Paul she mentions how she notecs there aren't any asain kids at her school, Park is still on her mind even though they are miles and miles apart. All of this is why how Eleanor and Park ended truly shocked me. Park says "He'd stopped trying to bring her bacl." (321.57), this was because after countless letter Park had written Eleanor hadn't written back. In the final chapter Eleanor doesn't even go to prom with park he takes Cat. Except it wasn't the same with Cat, "When Park held Cat's hand. It was like holding hands with a mannequin." (324.58). At this point in the reading I has shocked I hadn’t realzied I carried about ther relationship so much or was this invenseted in it. The book ends in the typical fasion I expected a young adult romantic fiction to end, Eleanor finally responded to Parks letter with a postcard that just had three words. We are left by the author Rainbow Rowell to assume the last words are Eleanor reciprocating the words I love

Eleanor is not the only troubled character in this novel, but she is just the one who is most affected by these “spirits” and eventually is killed by her own hands. In the actual novel, one quote says, “No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality.” (Jackson 84) This quote can again be brought back to Jackson’s own life and how she is saying how is she supposed to live at all in a home that is hyper realistic and serious.

In the book, “Eleanor & Park” I believe that Eleanor and Park were both the protagonist in the story. With that in mind, my overall thought of the book was that it was an okay read.

Two, Eleanor and Parks’ relationship and how it developed them.
