This book does many explosive things to my heart. Every time I read a new novel by Han, I am always assaulted by these strong emotions. In a way it reminds me of our quintessential home where I grew up. It simply hits me at the right spots. It makes me reminisce certain childhood memories. That is pure talent. I get nostalgic and pensive. It sounds sad, but it’s absolutely astonishing, very few books could incite those feelings from me. P.S. I Still Love You opens right after where the first book left it off. Lara Jean on at the verge of making it up to Peter. And she’s slowing navigating her life. A reader could expect, kissing, scandal, intense jealousy, family love, and more kissing. Like with To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, I also annihilate this book. It is fast paced and very easy to get into the flow of the plot. Though at times, I find myself frustrated, but obviously I got over that nasty feeling. …show more content…
I’ve seen some readers begging to read more books that include parents in the plot. And hey! this is the book for you. They are integral part of the story just as much as the protagonist. We have a Korean American main character(s). Lara Jean and the Song sisters heritage are essential to the story. Han explores some of the common Korean culture. I’m certain micro aggression was also briefly covered in the first book. It’s amazing, even if it doesn’t take a reign over the plot. The romance is cute just as I was expecting. And like I said there would also be jealousy which is one of my favorite tropes as long as the guy isn’t an Alpha asshole about
This book is great for people who enjoy gore, suspense and a little romance. If you love to see good character cooperation and the characters in a lot of life or death situations where you really don’t know if they’ll make it or not this is the book for you. This books also shows that even the underdogs can still make a difference, and that gives us hope in life when there seems to be nothing left. Again if you love gore, suspense and a little bit of romance this is the perfect book for you, you won’t be
This book is a very good book. It is not one of my favorite books, but it is in, or somewhat close to, the top ten list. It has an intriguing story and has some humor in it to make sure that it isn’t all mellow.
Anywhere in people’s lives, whether it’s in a movie, a book, or in real life, there are children having a problem with their parents. For books and movies, it adds extra tension and drama between characters, and in real life, it’s an everyday situation that occurs frequently throughout parent and childhood. However, these tensions between parents and their children can have serious effects. In the book That Was Then, This Is Now, written by S.E. Hinton, one of the characters, M&M, changes everyone’s lives because he was running away from his father’s mean comments. Though this conflict had many sources throughout the book, the tension between M&M and his father causes changes in the lives of other characters, and drastically impacted the storyline
the lovers eventually come to a point where they can no longer be without one another.
This book is about young Korean girls and its author is Korean as well. It illustrates to young readers that although the girls pictured my look different than they do, the issues and feelings they face are universal.
Ah, overall this book is great for readers who love intense fantasy, the book welcoming you just as much as they welcome the kids in Croak. It doesn't keep you exhausted on the edge every chapter, but it keeps you craving more. Something you need to know about this book is that it's hardcore fantasy, and you'll love it so much you'll want to be trapped
Evaluation: Although the dialect of some of the characters takes some getting use to, I enjoy this book. This is an American classic, filled with humor but critical of people who can be so civilized and so cruel at the same time. It is a boy’s adventurous coming of age that celebrates the individual spirit of America and the romantic vision of innocence and virtue in nature.
The novel In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is a prime example why parent figures are important in children's life. For example, Perry is the antagonist of the novel, and he did not have a mother figure due to his mother’s alcoholism, and because of his father's absence, he did not have a father figure. The novel also demonstrates the effect not having a father figure will do to children. Perry, not having mother figure to give him warmth and the love he deserves, turned into someone who does not have any sympathy towards anybody and he does not have any remorse towards the pain and suffering he had inflicted to the clutters family or anybody that would encounter him. “When Smith attacked Mr. Clutter he was under a mental eclipse, deep inside
She is extremely close to her two sisters Margot and “Kitty”. Lara Jean writes letters to “all the boys she has loved before” as a goodbye letter to them and stores them in a hatbox her mother gave her before her death. Her sister Margot dates their next door neighbor, Josh, who Laura Jean claims “she liked first”. Before Margot moves off to college she breaks up with Josh. Lara Jean’s letters get sent by someone, that gets revealed at the end of the book. The next morning, Josh asks her about the letter she wrote to him. She lies and says she no longer has feelings for him, and says she is dating, Peter Kavinsky, the coolest boy in school. Lara Jean and Peter decide to fake date, causing them to spend ample time together. Both Lara Jean and Peter end up having feelings for each other. Josh ends up getting jealous of Peter and confronts him causing Margot to overhear the conversation. Margot and Lara Jean eventually make-up but, do Josh, Lara Jean, and Peter make up? You will have to read the book to find out. “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” storyline is continued through “P.S. I Still Love You” and “Forever and Always, Lara Jean”. To find out what happens to Lara Jean you must read all three of the books to complete the
Relationships between people can change lives forever. For instance, the relationship between a parent and a child is one of the most important ones because that is where our consciousness about love, trust, and assurance comes from. Depending on the relationship, it can either benefit or negatively affect the child’s future, since little children always look up to their parents as role models. In the novel, Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer, Chris McCandless is negatively affected by his relationship with his parents. Chris McCandless’ parent, on the outside, appear to want Chris to be a successful student. Meanwhile, in the inside appearance, especially Walter, was an abusive father. This reflected a double life and could cause a devastating
Throughout literary history, authors have categorized mothers as nurturing, critical, and caring; works of literature characterize fathers, however, as providers who must examples for their children and embrace their protective, “fatherly” instincts. However, many works’ fathers fall short when it comes to acting the role of the ideal dad. Instead of being there for their children, they are away and play very miniscule roles in their children’s lives; instead of protecting he actually ends up hurting their kids. Thus, the paternal literary lens tries to determine whether or not the work’s father figure fits the “perfect father” archetype. This lens questions whether or not the father figure is his children’s active example, provider, and
I loved this book so much. There is so much action and is so much better and exciting with so much amazing detail and description. This is one of my favorite books ever. When you read it, you don’t want to put it down and it makes you feel like you are with the characters in the book and you know them so well. I recommend this book to anyone who can read at this level.
In this interview Ben Bagley asks Theresa Han about the difference between Korean and American culture. Theresa is a teenager who recently moved to the United States so she has an excellent perspective for understanding the differences and similarities between these countries.
The characters bring a riveting story to life when reading. Throughout the book, I felt emotions left and right for the characters and what they were going through. There is a lot of mystery and questioning that will be answered later in the book, but once its done, there are still many questions being asked. when I look for a book, that is something that stands out to me because I really want to read more, and when you have that reaction to a book, that means it was worth reading. I found this book remarkable because of the behaviors, characteristics, and decisions that the characters make, and I recommend this book to everyone, even if they don’t like to
While the other students know their parents, specifically their fathers, Percy has never known his father. He lives with his mother, whom he thinks is the best person in the world (Riordan 29) but he has no idea who his father is. Percy’s mom has just always told him his father was “lost at sea” (Riordan 30).
