Blog-ger#9: Peak

     I think this book can help a lot of people. The style and craft of the book, can actually relate to a lot of kids our age. Not many books can do that. Peak is the kind of character that you really feel like you can be put into their shoes the most. He has the same social life as a lot of people. There's always someone who's a maggot, that you really hate, but they won't leave you alone, even though you don't even talk to them. For me this is someone like Chance. For Peak, it's Holly. Even for other people, I'm their maggot. I feel like everyone has a maggot and they don't really look at it in that aspect.
     Another perspective of the book that is open wide for connections is person you can really talk to, that won't freak out at whatever you say or do, unless it's in a comedic manner or POV. That being said, I think that if your reading this, that you are already thinking of someone that you can really talk to and won't freak out at whatever you say or do, unless it's in a comedic manner or POV. For me, it's someone like Cassidy or Zach. For Peak, it's Sun-Jo. Everyone has someone they can talk to about anything in the whole world.
      Something else to look into is the admirable figure in our lives. Almost all people aspire to be the person they look up to. Someone who knows your out there in the world, and they are trying to help you, and trying to inspire you to do things and to take risks. For me, this is probably someone like my brother. He is always ahead of me in sports and almost everything... except maturity, but that's not important. For Peak, it's his dad. Everybody knows that they are either being admired or trying to admire someone. Everyone has someone that makes them dream of the future or what they hope to become.

  3. I like how you took secondary characters from this book and show the relationship with the main one and how that relationship also relates to you. Lol at the: " There's always someone who's a maggot, that you really hate, but they won't leave you alone, even though you don't even talk to them. For me this is someone like Chance." I think i'm Alinah's maggot even though we do talk. Nice blog post!
