As I was reading Isabel's post about the book ''6 months later'' by Natalie D. Richards, I immediately it was a very well written and detailed post. But not only was it detailed and well written, it also highlighted a lot of issues that are in teen girls lives currently. Of course i am not a girl myself, but from what I observe from my surroundings at school. the issue it highlighted was girls falling for boys. Isabel gave a quick description which is the ''typical teen girl crush'' ''Chloe who started off as a average student, she had a best friend named Maggie and a huge crush on the "most popular" guy. ''
The first initial things that I found particularly interesting about her post was, how it related well to a reader of any age because even our grandparents can remember the popular crew(s). And how they had crushes,because it is an experience that literally every girl has gone through. In Isabel's post i also liked how she goes deeper than the usual girls problems but discusses how the author presents the problem where as her being bias and completely using her own point of view. for example she said ''There are many complex issues under all the huge issues in Chloe's life that the author doesn't tell you about but they are obviously there. Chloe's relationship with Blake ends''. When I read that I knew that it was going to be a point in why her essay is strong.
Towards the middle part of the post that stuck out the most was how there was not the typical ''I found a new crush that benefits me better story'' but has a surprising twist," Adam and Chloe's relationship is dangerous in many ways, Chloe can't remember anything about there relationship in the past six months and no one will fill her in on any of the events that happened during that time. Adam tries to stay away from Chloe because he feels like he doesn't deserve Chloe because of his past, but Chloe gets past everything because she needs Adam in her life to help her remember and help her with all of her memories." The way that this post began as a typical "teenage girl crush" and then turned into a whole other situating being added to it, made Isabel's post very fascinating.
