It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini is a great inspiring book about a boy named Craig that learns about the beauty of life. In this book, he ends up in the emergency room because he is at the point where he wants to die. He later learns that he has a talent and passion for art. He also learns that there is so much in life that he can do and that there is a lot more to life than he ever thought.
Minutes before he is about to commit suicide, Craig listens to the thumping of his heart, and decides he wants to live. He can feel the beating of it all through out his body. I think that the author is trying to show that life is everywhere and it’s all around you. I think he wants us to know how important our hearts are, just as Craig does.
Craig learns that he loves art. He draws maps of people, their brains and life. Craig thinks he is not good at anything, and he thinks he has no talent until he starts drawing his maps again. These maps show how each person’s life is different and unique. Some of them are crazy and hospital. Life can be hard, but you learn how to deal with it and you learn that it can be a lot worse. Some of them not as much depending on whose it is. What all of these have in common, though, is that they are all beautiful.
In conclusion the book It’s Kind of a Funny Story is an amazing book. The theme of the book is that you have to enjoy life and the gifts that come through and with it. This is the same lesson that Craig learns once he is of the hospital. Life can be hard, but you learn how to deal with it and you learn that it can be a lot worse.
Good post, I like how you use engaging vocabulary in the introduction. I agree with your point about life being hard and having to be able to get past hardships. I do have a suggeztion though; add some more quotes directly from the book so that your readers can understand where and why you drew this assumption.
