After Ever After: Summer reading challenge Post #2

After Ever After
Finished
Prompt:Pick a character(s) from the book and describe how he/she is like one or you own family members.


     When reading this book, I realized that on character stood out to me. This character is Tad. Tad is a 13 year old boy who had cancer. Due to cancer, he was put in a wheelchair. Tad is a very sarcastic person who puts up walls to certain people. Tad is also one of those people that if he accepts you, he is a very kind genuine person. I feel that Tad is very similar to my brother in the sense of personality.

     My brother Marco, and Tad are both people that seem kind of intimidating at times. They can be super serious but they can both be super super funny.Both Tad and my brother are people that love love love sarcasm. They sort of have sarcasm as a daily routine. Another way Tad and Marco are very similar is how they treat there sisters.

     Every single brother in the world that has a younger sibling wither it be a sister or brother tease them. Tad and my brother love to tease their sisters (me.) They call us names boss us around and tell us that we are bothering them but deep down, I now that my Brother loves me and deep down, Tads sister knows that he loves her. These are just some of the ways that Tad and my brother Marco are similar.

Prompt: Pick your 2 favorite parts of the book and describe why you like them.
Pages: FINISHED

     When I was reading After Ever After, I fell in love with multiple parts, and I wanted to cry at some parts.Overall I loved this book,but there were some parts I loved the most. MY first favorite part was when Tad, one of the main characters, showed up the New Jersey state education system and refused to take the state test if it meant it might hold you back a year if you don't pass. My second favorite part of this book was when Jeff, another main character, accepted Tad's middle school diploma at their 8th grade graduation because Tad hap relapsed and had gotten Cancer again, and sadly, died.

     The reason I love it when Tad stands up against the New Jersey education system is because of how brave Tad was. Tad was a boy who could hardly walk and is a person that really only care for himself, it takes a lot of courage to do something like that. The reason I also lot this part in the story is because he did this whole thing for his friend, Jeff. Jeff had brain damage from his cancer treatment and it made math super super hard for him and math was part of the statewide tests.

     The reason I love the part when Jeff accepts Tad's diploma is because Tad and Jeff had been soooooo much and after Tad's death, he had broken down.Tad and Jeff were so close to the point where Jeff thought he could never move on and when he walked up to the stand, he realized that Tad was still with him and that nothing could change that.
