Prompt: Analyze the context, meaning, or moral, of your book.
Straight off the bat, I want to suggest this book to anyone reading this post. I guarantee that most of you are thinking, "Eh, I guess I'll add it to my list." Nope, it's a book that should not be regarded in a way as that. Read it as soon as absolutely possible, so you can get the most out of it for yourself, so you can analyze its meaning and apply it to your own lifestyle.
Now, I want to recognize all of the symbolism that's packed into this emotion mixed novel. I'm not going to tell you how these feelings and thoughts are invoked in the average reader, as to not spoil the book for you, but I do want to evaluate all of the themes of this book. There is a quite unique mixture of friendship, sacrifice, patience, frustration, and innocence, all packed together into a very diverse, but smooth running story. You really find out what it's like to be true friends with someone, and the things that you should do for them, if they're in need. I have no doubt that everyone reading this has friends, and can relate to the book in both different, and similar ways than I did.
Another reaction of my completion of this book that I want to share, is the sadness, grief, and anguish that I experienced after reading the end of the book. Oh my gosh, it's so incredibly hard to interpret my thoughts and put them into words without giving away the ending! Anyways, after going through the ending, I started to realize... The event that occurred was very tragic and awful, but the reasoning in it, was very caring and loving. No matter how deep you have to look, or how far you have to search, to fully understand this book, you have to find the good in what George did for his friend Lenny. Ugh, I've already said too much!
Great blog. My sister and I were just talking about this book. She too said it was a great book. I haven't read it yet but, "Eh, I guess I'll add it to my list."
