Final Thoughts

At the end of the book, Martin does find things that help him over come his mothers death. He started a website to talk and boast about his feelings without anybody else knowing that is was him, witch helps him deal with his mother’s resent death. Also going on the family trip to Alaska, where his mothers always planed on going when she got better, was also good for Martin, as he meet new friends and found new things to do in Alaska that he wouldn’t have been able to do where he lived ( ex. Hiking). The ending of him figuring out how to deal with it was realistic in my opinion because he used his family and friends in the end to help him, witch in real life I beliefs you would need your family to get over something like that.

I liked this book because it did revel teenagers lives, if a family member was to die, because teenagers are tempted by smoking and defacing public property, when you don’t know what to do. This is why I liked this book, especially the twists and turns during his journey on figuring out on how to handle his mothers death.

The main conflict in this book, is my main character trying to become un-normal (according to his family, friends, and psychiatrist), because of his mother's resent death do to a three year illness. He has shown no apparent action/response to his mother's resent death witch is classified as un-normal, in that situation.

My character has made some bad decisions like smoking and drinking to help him relieve his pain/stress from his mother's resent death. He also is having trouble at home as his father has become invisible, and is never seen around the house. Martin sister is always mad and with her boyfriend. So he has no body to talk, at home, and because he has no one to talk to at home is one of the reasons he made the bad decisions to drink and smoke.

Some good decisions my main character Martin has made would have to be talking with his friend eggman ( he is real!!!! ), talking to his two favorite teacher ( Mr. Miller And Mr. HMMWMT ) and he also made a website called emerso.com witch also him to talk about his feelings without anybody knowing who he is.

If you where my main character, would you have done anything different from what Martin did, to over come his mother resent death? Why?
