Reading Response
In
the Novel Exit Here the main character definitely learns a lot by the
end of the book. The way he led his life, was the basic teenage American dream.
He had women and money. He’s only 19. His parents have put up with him until
now. He has to go back to college because he flunked and they’re making him go
to a school in Los Angeles.
One
example of something he has learned is not to take things for granted. He has
everything anyone would ever want. But he still wants more. I don’t understand
his thinking. He has a great girlfriend and everything you would ever possibly
want in life. But he still wants more. He doesn’t know what he wants. He just
knows he wants something more.
Another
thing he has learned is that he has to appreciate friendships. Many of his
closest friends stopped being friends with him. His friend Kyle was driving
drunk and crashed his car. He killed the passenger and two other people. His
friend Cliff killed his girlfriend, and then committed suicide. His friend Claire
told him she had feelings for him and he reacted terribly to this.
In
conclusion after all that has happened I can’t stop feeling pity for this
character. His story gets more sad after ever page. I feel saddened after ever
social encounter he has.
