Book Reflection
The theme of my book is friendship. The theme of this book is represented in many different ways. Friendship is represented as a love hate thing because there are so many boyfriends and girlfriends in the book. I noticed this because John and Billy Beezer always walked about their girlfriends who they liked.
Many issues of friendship come up in this book by how everyone talks about boyfriends and girlfriends. There is also a lot of writing about how the kids like John and Gloria are always arguing about things. John thinks a lot about his friends like Billy, he thinks of them not only as friends but as objects.
This book relates to my life in a way the I have friends to, but other than that this book doesn’t relate to my life at all. I don’t have much drama in my life and in this book there is a whole ton of drama. Also I don’t think of a table as a different thing but as just as a table, where as John thinks of a table as another object or feeling.
Overall I didn’t like this book because it made me think to much. When I read books, which isn’t very often I don’t like to have to think to understand it. Also I don’t really like dark mean depressing books, which this was. Basically I like happy books that are easy to read which this book wasn’t.
