A neighborhood complex with many houses. Both Eleanor and Park live in the development, also some of the other characters in the novel. It helps the base line of the story knowing both main characters live near one another.]]> 2018-03-16 02:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/2092411/vem2gooug1k8/wish/242655973 2092411 https://padlet.com/2092411/vem2gooug1k8/wish/242656315 Eleanor is a young girl who lives with her mother, four younger siblings, and an alcoholic stepdad. She has red curly hair and has some body fat. She shoppes at second-hand stores and barely eats and/or showers. She hates her home life, and herself. She is very shy and socially awkward. ]]> 2018-03-16 02:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/2092411/vem2gooug1k8/wish/242656315 2092411 https://padlet.com/2092411/vem2gooug1k8/wish/242656929 Park is a slim Asian boy. He lives with his mother, father, and younger brother. He isn't the big social kid, but is popular. He has a "perfect" life with loving parents and nice things. He does everything he can to make sure him and the people around him are happy and comfortable.]]> 2018-03-16 02:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/2092411/vem2gooug1k8/wish/242656929 2092411 https://padlet.com/2092411/vem2gooug1k8/wish/242657791 The theme of this novel in my perspective is never judge a book by its cover and be grateful for what you have. If Park ever judged Eleanor he would have never found out that was the love of his life. Also, Eleanor had a rough childhood and Park got everything handed to him. You should always be thankful for what you have because Park never was until he realized Eleanor's life is way worse. ]]> 2018-03-16 02:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/2092411/vem2gooug1k8/wish/242657791 2092411 https://padlet.com/2092411/vem2gooug1k8/wish/242658482 Eleanor has conflict with her stepdad.
