After making all the entries we have to

So I made all the entries we had to. But I forgot to make more than this list which was given to us. But it ment explicit don´t to limit yourself. So hier is my "more than be limited" :).

The audience Hornby is writing for:

I think especial for young people in our age (teenagers).

Problems/conflicts the characters must confront:

• To be in love with someone.


• To be pregnant.


• To have another familystructure than other teenagers (very young parents, singled parents...).


• To become in a very young age parents.


• To live in a different family.


• To grow up.

The stake for the characters in these conflicts:

The most stake you have when you become as teenagers parents, because you lose your own childhood and a lot of chances.

Discoveries the characters make:

• They aren´t the only young parents (Sam sees it in the internet). ´


• It is hard to have a family, but you can be proud to have one.

Parallel scenes/repetitions:

• The early parenthood of Sam and Alicia and the parents of Sam.


• All the "dreams" of Sam in the future become fulfilled.

What effect it has that Sam tells the story:

• We know his feelings and are affected by him.


• We only know and experience the things he knows and experiences.

How the author uses the idea of time and the chronological sequence of events:

The parents of Sam tell us the past. Sam tells the present. TH tells us the future. So we are slipping between the times.

How I feel about the ending:

In the book the story could end at a lot of passages in the text, but on this one I want to know more, more about Alex, Robert.... It´s like an open ending. (I don´t like it here! :( )

The most important idea in the novel:

You can manage all, if you want to do do it. (Sometimes when you have to do it and don´t like it to do too)

Do I feel manipulated by the autor:

No, I don´t think so.

If I enjoyed reading the novel:

I always like to read a novel, you can sit there read and do nothing, it´s like holidays. (Only holidays to do in holidays reduce your holidays!)

At least a picture of a "really great book":
