The book Avalon High, written by Meg Cabot talks about a girl name Ellie moved just outside of Washington D.C because her parents took a whole year off their jobs as professors to do research about a Camelot. While she was Maryland she attend the high school called Avalon High (AHS) as a junior, she met new people, like Will Wagner. Will Wagner is the Senior class president, football quarterback, and the well know, a.k.a. popular guy. They first met at the park, and from there on it was history. Ellie and Will became close friends, they started to hang around more often Ellie started to feel certain feelings for Will, but he has a girlfriend named Jennifer or Jen. Jen, the cheerleader, cheated on Will with Lance, and sadly Will was not yet aware of this at the time. The irony in this was that Lance was Will’s best friend. What makes the matters worse is Marco was the one who told Will about the affair. Marco is Will’s step brother who is a load of trouble. And that leads into the teen drama at Avalon High School.
Avalon High is made for teenagers that are in to teen romance, and they are probably attracted to this book mainly because they could relate to the characters. For example, the girl Ellie has a major crush on Will Wagner that turns out to be the most funniest, cute, and popular guy in the school; there are most likely a lot of teenagers that have crushes on guys/ girls whom they can’t get their hands on either. Ellie said, “ I didn’t mention my crush on Will [...] Will and I were just friends (which, in case, anyways, was actually true),”(Cabot 95). Ellie keeps on repeating to herself that Will and her are just friends, but truly, she has a crush on him. She avoids the idea that she has feeling for Will because she does not want to expect that she could become Will’s girlfriend. This could relate to teenagers everywhere that has crushes on someone, but later deny to themselves that they a have crush on that person because they do not want to expect that there will be a relationship. This book is for everyone that is into teen romance and teen drama.
I like your post. It is good because of the fact that you gave a brief summary of it in the beginning and then went to explain about the book and the audience intended for. You might want to add on more about how the Cd you used relate to the things you mentioned earlier or explain about how she did not realize her crush yet. It was a bit confusing because I don't Know if Ellie know that she is denying it unconsciously or purposely denying it.
ReplyDeletewell i like the movie, but ypu said the book is a lot difrent from the movie. what question are you ansering exactly becausse it is not clear to me (in the first part). i know that there are a lot more facts about ellie other than that she has a crush on will. you should mention this becauase in your explanation of ellie, she seems more mindless than she really is.
