All the bright places by https://padlet.com/aninaluise/2fpkfgk0cddj Jennifer Niven en-us 2019-12-02 16:16:43 UTC 2025-11-19 18:52:53 UTC hello@padlet.com E-Mail to the main character Violet Markey aninaluise https://padlet.com/aninaluise/2fpkfgk0cddj/wish/418553871 Dear Violet, 
I heard about yours and Theodore Finchs Story and now I want to share my thoughts with you.
Firstly, I want to say that I think it is nearly impossible to get not crazy when living your life. I actually know, how it is to lose an important person but I haven't lost my sister or love and thought I couldn't survive this time after the person died. 
Additionally I admire your courage. How did you do that? You lost two of your favourite persons and you still live and go on. That's strong! 
I want to talk about the moment Finch left. No one knew where he was but nobody cares because it was normal for them. How did you feel when he left and you didn't knew? He was such a perfect person a short time before and then he left you alone without saying a word. Didn't you feel cheated or mistreated? I would have felt that way if anyone did this to me. 
And what I shouldn't forget: Did you know, how bad he was feeling and could you imagine what was going to happen? I was very surprised when he wasn't where you thought he would be and I thought he would come out and show himself because he's waiting for you or making a joke. 
So because of your story of life I really wish you a fulfilled life because you are a person who needs this after all the moments you passed. After the bright places you visited with Finch and after all the moments you had of thinking about Finch or Eleanor. 
I could write so much more but I don't want to get on your nerves with all my theories or questions. 
I am pleased to receive an answer because I really like your story of life even it's difficult.

What they did together, how they enjoyed their experiences and what they did for the other one is extraordinary. I really love the idea of Jennifer Niven to put a little bit of her own story of life into this book because she lost a boy she loved. 
I would also like to add that this book is not very difficult to read so the language is easy and good to understand but you have to focus on this book when you read it and if you do, you are going to be trapped in the world Jennifer Niven created for Finch, Violet, you and the other readers. 
Because of all these point, I would love to recommend this book to everyone. It's a story of life and what Violet had to experience, many persons have to go through in their real life. So everyone: READ THIS BOOK!]]> 2019-12-02 16:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/aninaluise/2fpkfgk0cddj/wish/418559684 Place where the story takes place aninaluise https://padlet.com/aninaluise/2fpkfgk0cddj/wish/418599910 Violet Markey and Theodore Finch live in Indiana. It's near Chicago, Kentucky and Virginia. 
Indiana is a popular place for stories.]]> 2019-12-02 17:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/aninaluise/2fpkfgk0cddj/wish/418599910 Point of view and time aninaluise https://padlet.com/aninaluise/2fpkfgk0cddj/wish/418622659 The chapters are written alternately from the point of view of Violet and Theodore (named Finch).
  • easier for the reader to understand the story and there aren't any gaps
  • the reader can recognize the feelings of each person in a certain situation

The story takes places at the last year of school for the main characters.
  • a chapter of their life will be completed
  • they are old enough for they're own decisions
  • they have to think about their future

  • Violet Markey and Theodore Finch are the main characters
  • The other important persons are their families because they talk a lot and the families knew the story
  • there are some classmates, a teacher and Theodores therapist but they are not as important as the other persons (that's why you can't see them here)

Even as a child she wrote books and songs and visited the High school of Indiana, like Finch and Violet. 
     This knowledge she put in her book and it helped her to make the story realistic. 
     In an interview, she told that she loves designing the character of Finch because she was able to identify with her "burdened" identity for personal reasons. This reason could be: Jennifer Niven loved a boy in the past but she lost him. In this interview, she also told that her urge to travel made her identify with the character Violet.
     The book "All the bright places" was published in 2015 and won awards like the "Goodreads choiced" award or the "mare di libri" book price.]]>     2019-12-03 14:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aninaluise/2fpkfgk0cddj/wish/419056083     A new book cover aninaluise https://padlet.com/aninaluise/2fpkfgk0cddj/wish/419058033 The new cover shows the belltower of the Indiana high school, from which Finch and Violet wanted to jump down and on this tower they had their forst contact to each other. 
     Both are on the ground because they are mentally exhausted and they are struggling to find themselves. 
     They hold hands because of the love between Finch and Violet and because they help each other to survive hard times.]]>     2019-12-03 14:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aninaluise/2fpkfgk0cddj/wish/419058033     Personal comment (Judith) aninaluise https://padlet.com/aninaluise/2fpkfgk0cddj/wish/419340594 I liked the book, because of the change of perspectives of Violet and Finch in each chapter, I could delve deeper into what happened and bettet understand their behavoir. I also found it good that the end was not “good“ and Finch died so the course of action seemed more realistic.
    Also the Language was simple and very approachable wich made it easier to understand everything.
    I can recomment this Book for everyone because the diversity of Finch and Violet has something for everyone and makes the book endearing.]]>     2019-12-03 21:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/aninaluise/2fpkfgk0cddj/wish/419340594
