The Breakup Bible
Jenifer Lewis is the main character in the book I read this quarter. The book is about how her boyfriend of six months … breaks up with her out of the blue. One day her grandmother gives her this book with a bright pink cover and gold letters that said “The Breakup Bible”. Jenifer has brown hair and is obsessed with righting (she is also VERY good at it). She is a big part of her school newspaper. Her dream is to become a journalist. I guess you could say she doesn’t really have a secret; the last six months she’s been pretty busy with her boyfriend Max. She doesn’t have enemies either, except for Anya. She is also in the school newspaper; she finds her annoying because she’s stupid and doesn’t participate. Later on in the book she SEES Anya and Max at the movies. Jenny’s backbone behind this entire scandal is her best friends Martha and Clara. I think Jenifer carries a notebook, a novel, some lip gloss and a pen in her purse. The author, Melissa Kantor influences my opinion on these characters indirectly. Jenifer is an all over wholesome American girl who studies hard and works for what she wants. Martha is the type of friends who gives you her up right honest opinion no matter if it hurts; on the other hand Clara is the sweet type of friend who tells you what you want to hear. Max started off as the perfect guy little did we know he was a total jerk.
Focus Point:
The focus point of my book is when Jenifer see’s her ex-boyfriend Max, with Anya. She saw him from a far standing by the bathroom. As she walked closer out came Anya from the woman’s restrooms. Max put his arm around her and kissed her. Max suddenly looked over his shoulder and saw Jenifer. Suddenly Clara took Jen by the arm and walked her to the car; Jenifer still in shock. This is the focus point of the book because it’s a kind of closure for Jenifer. She realizes that she needs to get over Max because OBVIOUSLY he’s already over her.
You describe really good each character and how they act. You should tell how they change through the book. How you describe the book makes people want to read the book. You gave enough detail to show what the book is about but you don´t tell all the story.
ResponderEliminarI totally agree with you on describing Jenifer! (I also read this book) I really liked how you show examples from the story that you use to give the reader an idea of how they are. I also like how you gave a breif but good description of the secondary characters; Martha and Clara. I agree with marianne that it would be nice if showed changes in the characters throughout the book a bit more but, overall GOOD JOB WOWW!!!
