Entry Two

Entry Two: Eleanor & Park

Complexity: Park, in the past few chapters, has been really wanting to find ways to communicate with Eleanor because he finds her very interesting. Eleanor also wants to go out and make new friends but her shyness is what makes it very hard for her to interact with anyone outside of her family. I predict that Park will do something that will get Eleanor to talk to him and pop out of her shell, and they will slowly start to become better friends.

Theme: One main theme that has been present to me so far is; family is important. This theme applies very greatly for Eleanor. Eleanor is the new girl at her new school and she is also a very shy person which makes it hard for her to become friends with people. After a long day at school where she feels like a nobody, she can go home and be surrounded with people who make her feel comfortable and that love her.

Structure of the book: The structure of the way this book is written is actually very interesting. In one chapter, is focuses directly on what Eleanor thinks and says to other people, and in the following chapter, it just focuses on what Park thinks and says to other people. What I like a lot about this book, is that instead of giving the chapters actual names, it just gives the words "Park" and "Eleanor" and strictly revolves around them only. I hope it remains like this throughout the whole book because I get to fully understand what is happening with both characters, but I predict that Eleanor and Park will become better friends and some chapters will be called "Eleanor & Park" and talk about what the two of them do together, instead of seperately.
