Summer Reading Assignment #1
I started reading the book Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. There are 2 main characters-Eleanor and Park. Eleanor is a heavy red head who lives in a poor family. Her step dad mistreats her and she doesn't have enough money for "normal" clothes. She has to sleep in a room with her four little siblings and had to endure the never ending bulling on her bus and school. Park is also Eleanor's age and he lives in a normal house with his normal parents. Eleanor and Park meet on the bus on the way to school and almost instantly start falling for each other. The problem with their relationship though, is the fact that Eleanor hides all of the hardships about her life and all the problems she endures from Park. Way too many secrets are hidden from each other which will make their relationship hard. Eleanor's parents also don't know about their relationship and if they ever find out they could potentially kick her out once again. I predict that Eleanor and Park will get into a huge argument that they think they won't get over and eventually realize that that wasn't the worst of their problems and make up. My only question is, will Eleanor and Park ever get over all the secrets when they find out? I'm really excited to find out and so far this book is very very good.
