Even though Paul is the main character, it is often portrayed that Erik should be that main character. That idea carries throughout the entire book.

Evidence of this: "As usual when Erik appears, the attention immediately switched from me to him"  (Bloor 24)]]> 2016-11-18 15:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/19paulr/dtbi70jabm51/wish/138731265 19paulr https://padlet.com/19paulr/dtbi70jabm51/wish/138734302 Because he is such a dominant figure throughout the story, Erik is a target for problems. This is when the main theme is introduced. I think that the theme of the story is that being the most popular won't always work out for the best.]]> 2016-11-18 15:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/19paulr/dtbi70jabm51/wish/138734302 19paulr https://padlet.com/19paulr/dtbi70jabm51/wish/138969649 Huffington Post Article

Paul had a positive mindset for the most part. 

I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes a very thick plot, and wants a good uplifting ending.

I would say that this book did a good job of portraying positivity and the theme that no matter if you are very popular, or you aren't liked by people; if you continue to be yourself, you can be happy.]]> 2016-11-21 20:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/19paulr/dtbi70jabm51/wish/139215178
