Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor And Park

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

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
