Evaluation/Conflict: Jay's Journal.

1) The thing I liked most aboout the book, was the poems. I liked that he had a poem for almost every situation. They made a lot of sense and he didnt write them just to write them. If I could change something, I would probably change the gender of Jay. I know its a dumb thing to change, but I feel like I can relate more to the character if it was a girl, because I am a girl. (weird huh?) I disliked the fact that, he was in a zone where he felt like nobody liked him.

2) The main conflict in my book would probably be that he cant  seem to keep long relationships, dealing with love and just friendship. He took the death of his friends pretty hard, and he stuck to Debbie, even though she was just using him. Even with Barry because of her Down Syndrome and he was kind of embarrased. The death and breakups lead him to being even MORE addicted to drugs than he already was. The internal conflict would be him trying to decide weather he should keep getting things for Debbie. The external conflict would probably be he made friends and fell in love with the wrong person.

TRUST.

"Debbie has stopped writing altogether so I guess I' going to have to get my head into something else. But what? What in the world what? In a way I'm kind of glad we broke up. She used me! The dirty little whore used me! Just like everybody else tried to tell me she would."
page. 32.

This probably shows that he will not trust girls because of what Debbie has already done to him. I think maybe next, he will try to find another girl that replaced Debbie. He says he wants someone better, but he knows that nobody will replace her. I like Jay because, I like how he expresses his feelings, and I kind of know how he feels.

Thrid Book Reflection.

The book I am reading is called, Jay's Journal. The author is Anonymous. The main character is Jay. The name of his journal is Judas. Jay is VERY smart. She has an IQ of 149+. He expresses his confusions, hisn hopes, and his fears in his diary. The setting for this book is unsaid. I think it is unsaid because this can happen to anyone, anywhere, and an anytime.
