PREP

After reading the first two chapters of prep, i came to realize that this novel is following certian problems that arise in young awkward teenagers as they are faced with these problems everyday. I follows Lee, a Freshman at Ault School. This school is a boarding school. The problems she ran into were problems that most teens face everyday. The begining where she did the wrong presentation reminded me of one time in hihg school when i thought i was supossed to present on thursday, when in actuality it was on tuesday, i did not do a good job, and had no visual aides! It made me want to do what Lee did when she ran out of the classroom. She faces problems of sexual orientaion, tattle telling on people, first crush, and many other problems just in the first chapter, it made me want to keep reading to see what else happens to Lee. Its almost like a guilty pleasure in a way as she runs into these problems, you want to feel bad for her, then realize that you can just relate these problems to some of the problems you had when you were a child. I think that this book relates to ourclass emensly as it is how teenagers evolve and grow through the life of a young girl. It was not confusing, just some of the book seemed to be dragged out, like when the author descibed certian shing sin depth, (ie. the bathroom floor, or the yearbook) however i felt as though that may have helped ion understanding how this girls mind is functioning. It almost seemed at times she was psychotic, but thats just how some teenage minds think!
