This week, I read about Kyle Kingsbury changing his name to Adrian. He decided to change it because of the meaning. Kyle meant handsome. He wanted to change it to Foe that meant ugly but made a comment by saying " Who would name their child that?" (page 122). So he agreed on Adrian which meant the dark one. Will is still giving him classes to keep him occupied with work. And Magda, is always nice as she is so there is no change with her. Will and Adrian discuss about books all the time like Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notredam. Also, when trying to meet a girl online, Kendra explained that it is not true love when you do that. You have to meet her in direct. Kyle, hopeless, doesn't reply. Also, when the roses Will and Kyle (at the time) were wilting because of the change of season, Adrian felt sorrow. He wanted to do something about it but couldn't. On page 117, when he asked the mirror to one of the schools party. He then realises that even his best friends were happy that he left their school. They disliked him and that hurt Adrian. Then, after a flash, it became Halloween. Halloween was the only day where Adrian could feel comfortable walking around in his own costume. Everyone was wearing scary costumes so he would blend in. After that, he sees a party and goes in. It seemed to be a private school said Adrian. So he sits in the front when he sees the ticket girl is Dorthy from the Wizard Of Oz. They start talking to each other and get to know each other. He introduces himself as Adrian King and her name is Bronwen Kreps. They start dancing with each other and talking about hobbies. Bronwen is surprised when she sees that Adrian likes to Garden and read. But she doesn't know that the monster "costume is actually him. This is where I stopped so I have to find out and see what happens next.
In my opinion, I thought that this section I read wasn't very interesting. I mean, it was emotional but no action. Although I do want to see what happens with Bronwen, I have to wait and see. I think that the name Adrian is beautiful but I don't know why he changed his name. Kyle means handsome. So he might not be handsome on the outside but he might be on the inside. Also, I think that Kyle/ Adrian's personality has changed. He went from being selfish and self-centered to a better person. I like how kind Bronwen is so kind to Adrian. I also like how Adrian is so comfortable going out in Halloween like himself. If I were in the same shoes as him, I would feel the same way. I didn't like how Kyles' best friends back stabbed him by saying at the time that he was so nice and now that he said he is gone, they are so content of this news. They said they hated him. You can find many literary languages when he compares himself to a monster. That is when a simile is used. On page 132, you can see that he stutters when he says Adrian.... Adrian King. There are a lot of descriptions when he really has sentiments fro a person. Or if something strong happens to Adrian.
I rate this book so far:
