Theme and Book Rating
Book Rating: I would rate this book 5/5 because it's such an inspirational book. This book almost brought me to tears while reading it and that's what I look for. I loved reading this book and reading through all the hardship Jodee had gone through and how she got through it and just kept pushing no matter how tough it got.
Bullying needs to stop
Never give up!
Your always beautiful
Stand up for bullying
Conflict/Resolution
Jodee has encountered a character vs society conflict, Jodee has to face school bullies who don’t really understand why Jodee does what she does. The resolution for this conflict is time, it took a lot of time and hope to get through being bullied. For Jodee this took all the way till Jodee's reunion until they realized what they were really doing. Some people had already knew what they were doing was wrong but were to scared to stick up for Jodee cause they didn't want to get bullied as well. " Jodee, I knew you had a crush on me in high school. Everybody did. That was the problem. The sad part is that I liked you, too. But I was afraid of what my friends would say if I asked you out, because you were, you know..... "He stops, unsure if he should continue. A reject I volunteer."
