Question
At what points do you notice yourself resisting the book, characters, or author? What does your resistance say about the book, and what does it say about you?
The latest point in the book that I have noticed myself resisting the book was when the main character, Charlie, and his sister Sarah are at a party. At this point Sarah was talking to Charlie about her first kiss. She told Charlie that her first kiss was with one of her dad's friends when she was younger. Sarah told Charlie that she wanted his first kiss to be with somebody that loved him. So she kissed him. During the whole time this was happening, Charlie was in love with his older sister, who didn't love him back.
After this happened I started to resist the fact that this was actually real. This says something about me and the characters and the author. This says that the author really can push the boundaries of reality in high school social life. This shows that I am the type of person that doesn't believe that one person would actually tell their brother that they want there first kiss to be together. This also shows that the characters don't care about what other people think. I think this because, there is no way anyone would kiss their younger brother in front of tons of people at their school if they did care about what other people think.
