One of those hideous books where the mother dies


The book that I was reading was called "Ont of those hideous books where the mother dies," The book to me was very touching because it talked about everthing, that teenagers go threw these days. The only difference was that her dad was gay, and he was a movie star. Now to me thats not quite what everyone goes threw these days but wait in tell you find out why she is even living with her famouse dad. The story takes place during the summer of a young girl at the age of fifteen-teen and who is a sophmore with the name of Rubby, but then it goes into her year of becoming a sophmore. The young teenager is flown away from her amazing friend named Lizzie Brody, and her wounderfull boyfriend named Ray Johnston. The reason why she is leaving her life and moving to L.A to live with her father who is an amazing movie star; is because her loving mother has just died of an very ill sickness. and her aunt Duffy is going to take her their because she needs to be somewhere where she is going to be loved and be able to start a new chapter in her life. But Rubby always thought that her father was a scumbag because she has never seen him once in her intire life, and her father divorced her mother when Rubby was born. So all she thought about him was that he was a no body and had no life to offer her, but was she in for a big suprise. Here is one text to suport where the book takes place. pg 1, Sanya Sones "Im not that depressed,considering that this gigantic silver bullet with wings is blasting me away from Lizzie Brody, my best friend in the world. away from Ray Johnston my first real boyfriend. just so i can go live in L.A to meet my so called father." That text is saying to me that she is not very happy with the decisions that her aunt is making for her. Another text to support me is, page 29, Sayna Sones "My real, live, honest-to-goodness dad is standing here right in front of me saying, "you must be Rubby." who wrote thid dialogue? i want to say "no, duh." i want to grab him by his collor and scream, "where have you all my life , you worthless peice of--" this is supporting what i saud earlier because its showing that she really hated her dad because she thought he was never there for her.
The main character who would be Rubby, has to try to work thoug/deal with her getting comfertable with her new life style. And defenetly with her dad, which has to do with opening up with him and learnig how to trust. the conflict man vs. self the conflict is demonstrated in the story by Rubby not wanting to live with her father and learning how to live without her boyfriend while knowing that her best friend Lizzie was dating her boyfriend beind her back.
