Reflecting on Nervous Conditions, I finally understood what the main theme of the story was about. It helped me understand and like the book more than going along with it. I can see how colonization can affect a group of people in their own special ways. Anyways, I realized the meaning of the book after we were finished reading it.
The book I have started reading, called "Deadline" by Chris Crutcher is interesting. My brother had to read it his sophmore year, and I found it recently and decided to read it for outside reading. This book is about a boy named Ben Wolf. Ben is just an average senior in high school. Later, his doctor tells him that he has a rare blood disease and that he would die in one month after the diagnosis. Ben decides not to tell anyone and live his life to the fullest, that is his plan so far.
Nervous conditions - 60 Minutes
Deadline - 90 Minutes
I am glad to hear about your realizations about Nervous Conditions. For your outside reading, make sure you are doing more than summarize the plot.
