Summer Reading by Emma Saenz https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8 5th period en-us 2021-09-02 17:03:48 UTC 2025-11-22 19:23:44 UTC hello@padlet.com 1 emmasaenz2 https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713293576 Aristotle and Dante is about a young and beautiful love that in all honesty you can't always find. It's about new love and figuring out yourself. This song is about a couple who is trying to find out the mystery of love (at least that's how I see it) the song and the book are both about beautiful things. The book gives a sense of new and young love and the song gives a feeling of 'what is love? what is the mystery of it?' ]]> 2021-09-02 17:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713293576 2 emmasaenz2 https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713293787 Towards the middle of the book, they started to grow apart. Aristotle didn't realize how much he actually loved Dante and why he cared for him so much so he kind of just left. This picture is important because it shows kind of them wanting to be with each other but not knowing to go about being with each other.]]> 2021-09-02 17:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713293787 3 emmasaenz2 https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713293872 What is love...]]> 2021-09-02 17:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713293872 4 emmasaenz2 https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713293982
I believe that this story tells the story of such a beautiful thing in the perfect way. It shows that things will happen, especially really horrible and really bad things but it also shows that you can get through it and that if the person you love is truly right for you, you will be with each other for ever, even if its a platonic love. This novel really made me believe that there's a such thing as young love and that it's a beautiful thing even though love can be such a horrible thing sometimes. ]]> 2021-09-02 17:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713293982 5 emmasaenz2 https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713294115 I compare this novel to a book (and movie) called "Call me by your name" by André Aciman Both stories tell a story of a beautiful tender love. Both tell a story where each person is scared of what could happen but they love each other so much even though they're scared.

2. What is the theme of the novel? ]]> 2021-09-02 17:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713294317 7 emmasaenz2 https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713294400 1. Aristotle and Dantes relationship is like no other. The relationship is so tender and beautiful it portrays the meaning of young love perfectly. They taught each other the meaning to love and I think that's one of the best things you could ever teach someone. 

2. I think the theme of the novel is to not give up on someone when you're scared of what your relationship could turn into.

“Another secret of the universe: Sometimes pain was like a storm that came out of nowhere. The clearest summer could end in a downpour. Could end in lightning and thunder.”

"But love was always something heavy for me. Something I had to carry.”

“And it seemed to me that Dante's face was a map of the world. A world without any darkness.

Wow, a world without darkness. How beautiful was that?”

"Why do we smile? Why do we laugh? Why do we feel alone? Why are we sad and confused? Why do we read poetry? Why do we cry when we see a painting? Why is there a riot in the heart when we love? Why do we feel shame? What is that thing in the pit of your stomach called desire?" ]]> 2021-09-02 20:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713680679 Thoughts emmasaenz2 https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713683733 This is honestly such a beautiful book. I really don't understand how someone can write such a beautiful and tender romance. I know it's not real but it was like the story transported me to a different place. The novel and the writing is just so beautiful and mesmerizing. If you love a sweet romance please read this book. ]]> 2021-09-02 20:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/emmasaenz2/xcnpxob9hc9ldtq8/wish/1713683733
