I read the book Me Earl And the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews. This book is about a non social pessimistic guy named Greg. Even though Greg is a very depressed guy he can be very funny sometimes. He also like to makes films which he calls horrible with his friend Earl. In this book Greg's ex girlfriend Rachael is diagnosed with Leukemia and Greg tries his best to support her which Rachael is not very happy about. Later on in the story Greg and Rachael start to create a small friendship. Even though some people might find this book hilarious other like Meghan Cox Gurdon might not be to fond of the language in the book.
In the beginning of the book Greg feels bad that his ex Girlfriend Rachael has cancer so he tries to start up a friendship by talking and interacting with her. Even though he is trying to be nice to Rachael, Rachael is not really fond of it. This is because before Rachael was even diagnosed with leukemia Greg barely spoke to her and payed her no mind and now she feels like Greg is trying to get her attention because she is sick. Another thing that I noticed is that is that Greg is a very quiet, pessimistic, apathetic kid. He is not really social and doesn't really care about life. In the book it says " Most of the time middle school sucks even worse, but middle school is so pathetic that I cant even bring myself to talk about it, so lets just focus on high school. This is showing us about how Greg hates middle school and which also may show us about how he hates his life. Throughout this book it has lots of profane language that some people may find unacceptable. Such people are Meghan Cox Gurdon who believes that cursing and other language are not acceptable for young adult readers. One reason that she disagrees with it is because she says that it can affect a child's emotional development. These are things that I noticed in the book.
In conclusion I think " Me Earl And The Dying Girl " is a book that everyone should read. This is a very amusing and important book I found amazing. This book teaches you about the daily lie of teenage kids and what they go through in school. I hope that this book gives an impact on reader every where in the world.
Love the sense of detail you give into the book maybe you can talk about any other important character
