Eleanor & Park

      As you know, I am reading Eleanor & Park. From the last time I updated on Eleanor & Park (which was yesterday) and a lot has happened since then. So far, Park invited Eleanor back to his house, but made her cry and she left. Eleanor then skipped school the next day, and that was the last day before winter break. On Christmas Eve, at the store, Park and his mom saw Eleanor, her sister, and her two brothers. When they got home, Park's mom went to her room and cried. When Park's mom came down, she told Park that she know understands how Eleanor is because Park's mom had a big family too. Park's mom asked Park to be extra nice to Eleanor because she knows how she feels. Later into the book, Park knocks on Eleanor's window and she sneaks out with him. They end up by the school, and they kiss. After that, Eleanor and Park's relationship was stronger and they respect each other more.

         I am doing the theme. So far, I think the theme is that it doesn't matter how you look, you should accept people for who they are. Like how in the first few chapter, Tina continually bullies Eleanor. Whether its calling her ugly to fat to sticking pads on her locker. Then on the bus, Steve kept calling Eleanor 'Big Red' and Park and Steve got into a fight. This example shows that you shouldn't call others names, because something might happen to you. Park accepts Eleanor for how she acts, dresses, and keeps things to herself, and still loves her. Eleanor accepts Park, and probably always will. Eleanor and Park are one of the cutest couples in the books I've read. Other than Hazel and Augustus. I think that Eleanor and Park accept each other for who they are, and just deal with each others personalities and families. Eleanor and Park are made for each other, and I can't wait to keep reading it.
