The second part of Aristotle and Dante is mostly about Ari's recovery from his injuries after he dives in front of a car to save Dante. Ari wakes up after being unconscious after surgery for over thirty six hours. Everyone is concerned for him and Dante gives him his sketchbook which Ari doesn't open. Shortly before Dante leaves, Ari and Dante finally look through the book together and Dante tells Ari he's gay.
While Dante is gone he consistently writes to Ari about his experiences in Chicago. He talks about how he goes out to parties and how he experiments with drugs and alcohol. He also talks about how he kisses girls but doesn't really care for them and would rather be kissing guys. Ari also writes to Dante about things that are going on in his life.
Overall, I am enjoying this book so far. The book does a great job at building the characters and you can really understand them. The book is also relatable to struggles than many people undergo, focusing mainly on an identity crisis during youth. I feel that the book is extremely relatable in showing what happens for high schoolers in their everyday life. Their balance of school, work, and social interactions such as partying are pretty accurately represented in the book.
I agree thay this book could be extremely relateable for some people, especially high schoolers. I also like that the characters are being very well developed, especially the adults in the book because the other books we read didn't go into as much detail about the parents.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your points. The author does a nice job getting the confusion that Ari feels across.
ReplyDeleteThis book must be very relatable to a lot of people. Everyone feels different about themselves and for those who are afraid to express who they are I hope this book gives them faith.
