Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

       My current choice reading book is Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. The book takes place in 1986, and its about two misfits who fall in love. Elenor is the new girl with an unfavorable home situation, and Park is a quiet outsider who doesn't want to be involved. They know it won't work, but they try anyway. This book is a sweet, romantic novel and very exciting to read.

        Although I haven't read very much, the characters are already very distinguished, and you can see their views and personality. I find it very interesting how the perspective can switch back and forth during an instant so you can see how Eleanor and Park both feel at that certain time. Another thing I love about the book is that it is in narrated by their thoughts. I like this because you can tell what is happening in the book from their point of view and how they feel about it. I am at the very beginning currently so it is moving slowly, but it is still interesting and making me want to read more. So far, I really like this book, and I am interested to see how Eleanor and Park will end.

For example, I went back to Tyler, TX, where I lived before here, and I saw how much all of my friends had changed from when we were kids and how different they were from my friends who grew up in Baton Rouge. Growing up in different environments changes the way people think and act.        Even though I think people are fundamentally good, I believe that people have free will to compliment or change that. Everyone in the world is flawed in someway, and that is caused by peoples decisions. Those decisions can lead to changes in judgement. So, if someones judgement is changed, that may change the way they view and feel about different situations. But, peop...

Concert

       This summer, my family and I went on a huge road trip to North Carolina and Washington DC. While we were in the car, we always listened to John Mayer's new album, the Search for Everything. As we listened to it more and more, my whole family started to really love it, and we associated it with our summer. We would listen to it in the car, at cook outs, and just around the house.        As our summer came to an end, my mom asked us if we wanted to go to his concert. I wasn't super excited about it because it was the night before orientation day, so I decided not to go. School was nearing and my sister, Emily, was so excited for the concert, but I didn't want summer to end. The day before orientation day, I went to go get a hair cut, and when I was done it was around 4 pm. My mom asked my on the way home, "Do you want to go to the John Mayer concert?" I was so confused because my sister was about to leave in thirty minutes, and I didn't kno...
