Will Grayson Will Grayson

I think the main message in this book is about the the three ways of love. 1) Learning to love and accept who you are. 2) The love, appreciation, and respect of loving a friend or friends. 3) Romantic love and how it will only work if you choose to make it work. A big theme that you see in this book is choice. Choosing between allowing yourself to fall, or break ones rules, or choosing to let yourself be happy. The Will Grayson have to learn to love who they are, appreciate those who they have in their lives, and allow themselves to fall in love.

"Maybe there's something you're afraid to say, or someone you're afraid to love, or somewhere you're afraid to go. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt because it matters."

"maybe tonight you're scared of falling, and maybe there's somebody here or somewhere else you're thinking about, worrying over, fretting over, trying to figure out if you want to fall, or how and when you're gonna land, and i gotta tell you, friends, to stop thinking about the landing, because it's all about falling."

"need is never a good basis for any relationship. it has to be much more than that."

"NO. No no no. I don't want to screw you. I just love you. When did who you want to screw become the whole game? Since when is the person you want to screw the only person you get to love? It's so stupid, Tiny! I mean, Jesus, who even gives a fuck about sex?! People act like it's the most important thing humans do, but come on. How can our sentient fucking lives revolve around something slugs can do. I mean, who you want to screw and whether you screw them? Those are important questions, I guess. But they're not that important. You know what's important? Who would you die for? Who do you wake up at five forty-five in the morning for even though you don't even know why he needs you? Whose drunken nose would you pick?!"

The main characters of this book are Will Grayson and Will Grayson.
Will Grayson #1) 16 year old boy who likes to not stand out. He is a protagonist in this story. He is attractive but not found attractive by all. He had two rules that he must follow 1. Don't care too much and 2. Keep your mouth shut. He breaks these two rules at once when he stand up for another student who then becomes his best friend. I have gotten to a point where I see Will Grayson #1 facing an inner conflict on whether or not he should allow himself to fall for a girl named Jane.

Will Grayson #2) 16 year old boy who faces a daily struggling of depression and hating himself. It is just him and his mom who he doesn't like. He is a protagonist of this story. He is secretly gay and has a secret online boyfriend. He has a best friend named Maura. Maura has obvious feelings for Will. I've gotten to a part where Will is ready to meet his mysterious lover boy.

Tiny Cooper) Tiny Cooper is ironically not tiny. The opposite of tiny, Tiny is a 16 year old boy who is described to be a huge football player. Tiny is extremely gay. This is actually how he is described in the book. He is a football player who is in a SAGA, does Musca theatre, and is in love with love. He goes through boyfriends like crazy and "falls in love" with everyone. He is Will Grayson #1's best friend. He challenges him to come out of his bubble. These two make an amazing best friend pair.

1984

I really enjoyed reading 1984 and seeing the messages and topics that were hidden through the story. I think my favorite part of this book was how much it opened my eyes to what our society has become and is becoming. From the being watched every minute by the government (conspiracy theory) to people in our society become blank drones. Following along with what society tells us to do and believe. I also found the dynamics and traits of Julia and Winston very interesting. I didn't believe that they were in love until we were in a seminar. Someone had said that this our form and definition of love can't be applied to what they have because of the way their society is. This blew my mind! We have the freedom to love who we want in anyway we want. With their world they are so constricted. They aren't even aloud to have there own thoughts. I strongly recommend this book to people who haven't read it.
