Through the duration of the novel you get to see why Asher doesn’t like living in his new home and going to his new school. He meets a girl named Rosie that falls in love with him straight away. Rosie would follow Asher to the end of the world and back and that did not make it hard at all for when they ran away. Through this essay I will talk about why Asher and Rosie ran away, Why Asher is angry at the world, Was alienation a key theme of Guitar Highway Rose, why this book was called Guitar Highway Rose and If the book accurately portrayed the problems of growing up.

I do think that Asher has a right to be angry because of all of the things I just said then but mostly because he left his old life back in Byron Bay and he wants to get back to it.
Alienation isn’t a key theme of Guitar Highway Rose because in the novel nobody gets shoved aside or gets excluded from everyone except for Asher and his Malvina moving away from Nigel. One thing doesn’t make the whole book about alienation.
The book is about a girl called Rosie that wants to have some adventure in her life and a boy called Asher who plays the lonely blues on his guitar and wants to get away from everything in his new life so he runs away with Rosie down the highway. So I think that is why the book is called Guitar Highway Rose.
The book grasps all parts of growing up in a unstable environment, with the parents getting divorces, moving away from friends to go to a new school, the meeting of new friends the getting falsely accused of things you say you did not do but still get in trouble for, feeling like nobody likes you, feeling like running away and the lazy never wanting to get up out of bed mornings. The author, Bridget Lowry, Is trying to portray the problems of growing up and I think she succeeds in this novel. This novel is very exciting and adventurous I do recommend other students read this book
I find the theme in this book to be something that an anyday person or child would experience in a day or much longer piece of time. Any person can experience times of confusion and emotional instability, but if that person sticks it out; they will find an answer to their problems or they will answer answer it for themselves. This pertains to a lifelong conflict, but it does not just pertain to that. It relates to a situation in a day, week, or even, an
The environment a child is raised in creates a major influence on the child’s future. For instance, the author Wes Moore was sent to military school because of his declining academics in his former public school and because of a situation that occurred when Wes punched his sister Shani. As a consequence Wes’s mother sends Wes to Valley Forge Military school in hopes this will correct Wes’s behavior and model him as a better student. In the beginning, Wes felt infuriated and betrayed by his mother for sending him to this institution. Wes tries multiple times to escape but never is success. It is until Wes sees the F Company and becomes impressed by the amount of respect they receive. This is when Wes begins to understand that he is in a different
The book takes a lot of perspectives mainly among Aries, Clementine, Michael and mason. This is really good compared to other books. The multiple perspective makes it feel like a movie and mixes it up. Also, it has an abundance of suspenseful cliff-hangers that make you crave to read more and lead you on. The characters also aren’t afraid all the time and cower how most teens would. They seem to know how to live in the moment, and have good times and joke even when there is danger. That shows us they are fearless kids just about.
I feel that, this novel is a good read for teenagers, because by reading it they can learn to accept there differences and themselfs . In our world today, nobody likes to be different, in fact most people try to change themselves. In the novel, it talks about how Calvin became secofenic. At first when Calvin found out the news , he imedily says that his mental illness was is a death of being normal. In the end Calvin learns to accept himself, and I think that teenagers need to do the same because, in world full of normal people, we need people who stand can out and make a change.
Overall this book is good so far. Once I start reading it, I cannot put it down. It is a story that talks about the struggle of a young African-American girl named Shivana who is dealing with her poor lifestyle, going to school and being sexually active at such a young age. She is only fifteen and has been hooking up with a man who is married and has children. I found that this was so disturbing because I feel like Leroy (the married man) is using her for sex; he claims that he loves her but I am pretty sure he is doing it out of pleasure.
The book puts in question what are the important factors to a child’s development all the way until there teenage years. When growing up there are two main group of people that make us who we are; our parents and the outside world. When we are little, before we start school we do not know anything other than our family, this is called the first stage of development. By only knowing your family members this causes you to only act the way you see. However, a few years later, when
This book was a very good read. It was very eye opening. More than what I expected. It was a very well written book about the hidden lives of young
Besides the author’s writing style, the plot of this book was very interesting and sad. Jamal’s older brother was in jail due to murder and his mother is a single parent that has to work nearly 24 hours a day to support Jamal and his
I’m sure all teens have thrown a fit. Consequently, we all wish we wouldn’t have. In the story “Marigolds” Lizabeth throws a temper tantrum and then immediately regrets it. Lizabeth’s childish acting resulted in her noticing she should've handled the situation better. The theme of “Marigolds” is maturation leads to a deeper understanding of life. This theme of “Marigolds” demonstrates Lizabeth’s change in attitude throughout the story just as maturation affects every modern teen.
Some people may not recommend this novel because they believe it encourages readers to only worry about family rather than achieving their own personal goals. Some may also think this book over dramatizes the harshness of a teenagers life.

This novel was set during the post war period, this was a time when independence and rebelling against parents and law was more important than doing the right thing, during these times of independence, and teenagers needed friendship more than anything else.
In "A Rose for Emily," William Faulkner's use of setting and characterization foreshadows and builds up to the climax of the story. His use of metaphors prepares the reader for the bittersweet ending. A theme of respectability and the loss of, is threaded throughout the story. Appropriately, the story begins with death, flashes back to the past and hints towards the demise of a woman and the traditions of the past she personifies. Faulkner has carefully crafted a multi-layered masterpiece, and he uses setting, characterization, and theme to move it along.

The major theme of the story was creating awareness in adolescents about what life has to offer.
