Someone Like You, by author Sarah Dessen, is a wonderful story about a long lasting friendship between two young women. This touching book is a wonderful study on the strength and importance of the friends we find ourselves blessed with.
"Scarlett Thomas has been my best friend for as long as I can remember..." (from Someone Like You)
Scarlett and Halley have been best friends as long as they can remember. Told from Halley's point of view, the reader is treated to all of the drama high school life is famous for. Boys, teachers, and friends seem to be the most important thing in Halley and Scarlet's lives until the death of Scarlet's boyfriend in a car accident affects her whole life. Things have changed and she now thinks that she wants to put the baby up for adoption.
I don't like adoption or abortion. I'm against both, but that's just my personal opinion. I'm more toward adoption than abortion. Abortion is one less heart beat , two less little feet and hands and one happy smile. Adoption isn't that great either. I think if your not ready for a kid you shouldn't have done what you did.
I like how you stated your opinion and what the book is about. Also you elaborated on your opinion. Great response.
ReplyDeleteKRISTEN! I read this book a long time ago and I liked how you chose your own focus and opinion from the book. Good Job (y) :)
