She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.”]]> 2017-10-26 12:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200759046 moo20531 https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200759135 Park liked how "weird" Eleanor was and he thought it was cool unlike most people. She was different and it made him feel good to make her feel good. He thought that how she looked was how she was supposed to look and he didn't want to change anything about her. It can also be metaphoric as Eleanor is compared to art and she is one of a kind.]]> 2017-10-26 12:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200759135 moo20531 https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200765556 2017-10-26 12:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200765556 moo20531 https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200765617 Here is a grapefruit holiday box. It is a place that Eleanor puts objects that are very close to her. She can look at them and remember the happier times. She keeps parfume samples and expensive colored pencils. As she starts to gain a collection of gifts from Park and his family, she begins to put them in the box. It is a box full of memories she can visit at anytime to remember nicer times in her life. ]]> 2017-10-26 12:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200765617 moo20531 https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200767138 ELEANOR  and  PARK /* Starred Review */ Awkward, prickly teens find deep first love in 1980s Omaha. Eleanor and Park  don't meet cute; they meet vexed on the school bus, trapped into sitting together by a dearth of seats and  their low social status. Park , the only half-Korean fan of punk and  New Wave at their high school, is by no means popular, but he benefits from his family's deep roots in their lower-middle-class neighborhood. Meanwhile, Eleanor's  wildly curly red mane and  plus-sized frame would make her stand out even if she weren't a new student, having just returned to her family after a year of couch-surfing following being thrown out by her odious drunkard of a stepfather, Richie. Although both teens want only to fade into the background, both stand out physically and  sartorially, arming themselves with band T-shirts (Park ) and  menswear from thrift stores (Eleanor ). Despite Eleanor's  resolve not to grow attached to anything, and  despite their shared hatred for clichés, they fall, by degrees, in love. Through Eleanor and Park's  alternating voices, readers glimpse the swoon-inducing, often hilarious aspects of first love, as well as the contrast between Eleanor's  survival of grim, abuse-plagued poverty and Park's  own imperfect but loving family life. Funny, hopeful, foulmouthed, sexy and  tear-jerking, this winning romance will captivate teen and  adult readers alike. (Fiction . 14 & up)(Kirkus Reviews, December 15, 2012)

She always had people telling her how gross and ugly she was so she started to believe it and never had self confidence. She didn't think anything was really good about her.]]> 2017-10-26 12:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200774374 moo20531 https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200778683 "She went up to the hall closet, found three brand new toothbrushes, and shoved them into the front of her pant, along with a bar of dove soap."]]> 2017-10-26 12:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200778683 moo20531 https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200781077 Eleanor didn't have many luxury items. She really didn't have many items at all. Neither did her siblings so to them, the items we take for granted they haven't ever had, or at least hadn't had in a long time. To Eleanor, a tooth brush replacement was something she hadn't had in a very long time so she got one for herself and a few most likely for her brothers and sisters who also did not get to enjoy these simple luxuries. This shows what Richie took away from her along with the love of the family]]> 2017-10-26 12:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/200781077 moo20531 https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/204310151 I agree with this and I think it is very accurate. It also adds some description when they say "prickly teens". ]]> 2017-11-07 12:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/moo20531/yrypiaujy0cz/wish/204310151
