Characters, Theme, Structure

     Eleanor is just moving into a new home and is going to a new school, she wants what anyone in a situation like that would want.... To fit in. She just wants to fit in and to meet new people, if only they would stop looking at her like she has 10 heads and quit judging her. And to possibly make some new friends. Until she meets Park. What Park wants is totally different. He just wants everyone to just let him have his space, go to school, come home and repeat without any interruption. But when he starts falling for Eleanor, everything changes.

      After Eleanor and Park start getting to know each other better, Park starts hearing about all of these people who write nasty, inappropriate sayings on Eleanor's books about her, he tries to find out who it is. He then hears his best friend, Steve, call her Big Red. And boy did Park blow up! He got so angry he kicked Steve right in the jaw! This infuriates Eleanor.  Some themes I am starting to notice is that Park and Eleanor are in love and want to be together but there are some minor setbacks that cause them to drift apart a little. The book has a very good structure. At first is starts with some-what of a conflict then if is resolved, and then another conflict occurs, then another resolution. I think this is going to start to be a developing pattern through out the book.
