Book

A book that I have recently read was Hope was here by Joan Bauer. It’s about a regular teenager who travels places with her aunt who works as a cook and ever since she was a baby she lived with her aunt because her mom wasn’t ready to be a mother, Hope and her aunt move around and her dream is to be a perfect waitress just like her mother but she wants to be a better waitress than her. Since she moves around so much it’s really hard for her to fit in. The author provided this thesis by having the main character move around to different places, restaurants, towns, schools, and whenever she has to get everything out she puts it all out on boxing. I agree with the characters position in the book because at a point of everyone’s life they either feel out of place or they don’t belong where they are in their life. I would feel out of place too if I had to move around like a nomad searching for new jobs. It’s like starting all over again. I liked the piece because it had an interesting concept and it had an attention grabber. I never wanted to put the book down.
