The woods hold great meaning in this book. The woods is were Noah spent most of his time. He was alone and the woods were his safe place. That is where he got a lot of his ideas for his art. It is also the place where Brian and his talked, ran, and much more. Brian was Noah's best friend who he fell in love with. The woods hold the memories of the time they spent together.

Why did I choose a church hall as the picture? I choose it because it holds great value to the story and growth of Jude. After Jude and Noah's mom died, Jude frequently visited a church. Jude become interested in the bible. Sometimes she would just sit in there for hours on end thinking. thinking about what has happened to her family, to her brother and her. Wondering why it ended up this way. It is also the place were she meets Oscar. Oscar showed Jude what love really was and that is was not all make believe

The quote that I picked was the most important part of the resolution. This is when Jude finally confesses to Noah that she lied and betrayed him. She scared that he will hate her forever but has to tell him the truth that will free him. Yet he's not mad or angry, at all. All he does is laugh. Jude was confused, thinking that telling her brother the truth would ruin their friendship forever but she got something she did not expect. Noah doesn't care about what she did. All this time Noah thought he sucked at art, that only their mother said he was great. He feels free from now knowing that he didn't get into the art school because he was bad. Jude is dumbfounded why there was no yelling and hatred being said. All this time she's being carrying the guilt of what she had done. She was ready to be hated, ready to finally be free of the guilt that so deeply wounded her brother. She got something  completely different. This was the start to molding their relationship back to the way it was before all this started.

"Did you hear me right?"Yes!" he cries. Now he's laughing wildly and I'm sure he's lost all his buttons until out of his mouth flies, "I thought I sucked! I thought sucked! For so long. I thought it was only Mom seeing them that made them any good."  He arches his neck back. "And then.. I realized, it doesn't matter."  What doesn't?" I look for anger or hatred in his face, but there's none. It's like the betrayal hasn't registered. He's only elated."(Nelson 350)

I find this response amazingly detailed and accurate. It tells the story of the book in such wonder and color. Quite similar to the way the author portrayed the characters in "I'll You The Sun". The way she told the story of the books wonder really proved it justice. Lauren Oliver explained the heartfelt story told in the book, and gave us the feeling of wanting to pick up the book and start reading. I agree with the way she told us about the relationship between the twins. They always believed that the world was not big enough for the both of them. They competed for their mothers attention, wanting her to look at their art and tell them what she thought. They were scared that one of them was better than the other which divided them. Yet they feel as only a half of a whole when their not together. They need each other and as the story progresses we see how much. Over all I think Lauren did an amazing job tell their story but there is one thing I disagree on. She said near the end of her review that if she has one complaint it would have to be the the pace the characters fire off their revelations. She thought that it was all at once and a bit fast paced. I believe that the fast past near the end added suspense and gave you a feeling of I need to finish this book to find out what happens. I loved that feeling.

I'll Give You The Sun. New York Times

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"I'll Give You the Sun," the second novel by the talented Jandy Nelson, author of "The Sky Is Everywhere," is told from the alternating perspectives of teenage fraternal twins, a boy and girl named Noah and Jude, each of them narrating from a different side of the accident that forever changed their lives. On one level, the book is about duality: As Jude and Noah wrangle over who will go to a prestigious art school and vie for attention and approbation and even, for a short time, the affections of the same boy, each narrator struggles to become whole, to become something other than merely half of one. Although Nelson portrays the relationship between the twins, their oneness, as comforting, more often it is claustrophobic - perhaps contributing to the book's tense, almost breathless feel. One of their favorite games is to divide up the world between them, choosing and bartering the sun or the trees or the oceans. There is the sense that the world is simply not big enough for both of them.

Later, as Jude and Noah swap identities, family roles, and even favorite parents, they come up against the failure of dichotomies, of moral absolutes. Good and bad, freak and normal - oppositional labels can't describe or define their experiences, and the book makes us see the pluralities that are everywhere. "We grapple with the mysteries, each in our own way," Jude reflects toward the novel's end, "and some of us get to float around on one of them and call it home." Nelson even leaves ambiguous the limits of reality itself, letting us wonder whether the ghost of the twins' grandmother - a wonderful and whimsical character who occasionally drops in on Jude to deliver a perfectly timed witticism or bit of advice - is really a phantom or merely a projection of Jude's desires. It's an omission that in the hands of another writer might instead seem coy or even lazy, but in Nelson's book seems a deliberate choice to celebrate the beauty of the mysterious. Above all, Jude and Noah learn that blame cannot be neatly assigned, and in this way "I'll Give You the Sun" is a true coming-of-age tale: It shows its protagonists moving from a black-and-white version of the world to one of infinite, sometimes uncomfortable, variegations. Noah's unfolding love story, and his thoughts and anxieties about being gay, are particularly touching. "Do guys normally stand so close to other guys?" he asks as he begins to fall in love. "I wish I'd paid more attention to these kinds of things before." Jude's romantic adventures are equally well drawn, and, perhaps most surprising, so are the novel's grown-ups. These include the twins' parents and the reclusive and mysterious sculptor Guillermo Garcia, who becomes Jude's mentor, and who we ultimately discover has a more intimate connection with her past. If I have a single complaint, it's about the speed with which these characters fire off revelations toward the end of the novel, frenetically uncovering deeper dimensions to their relationships and exposing new truths. But that's a quibble, and a testament, really, to Nelson's ability to build a suspenseful story not on plot devices but on the tightly coiled inner lives of her characters.

On a line-by-line level, Nelson is bold, even breathtaking. You get the sense her characters are bursting through the words, breaking free of normal metaphors and constructions, jubilantly trying to rise up from the prison of language - much in the way that Jude describes Guillermo's work, or the way Michelangelo once described making a sculpture: "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." Nelson returns to this quotation several times, both commenting on and making manifest the struggle of the artist.

Art - its creation, its importance, its impact on identity and freedom - is perhaps the central theme of "I'll Give You the Sun." The book celebrates art's capacity to heal, but it also shows us how we excavate meaning from the art we cherish, and how we find reflections of ourselves within it. I've always loved this line from Stendhal: "A novel is a mirror carried down a high road." Done well, it shows us ourselves even as it moves us forward into new places and new understandings. "I'll Give You the Sun" is a dazzling mirror, and many grateful teenagers are sure to find themselves reflected in and learning from its pages.
