Are there groups you belong to in this text? What do they look like here? If your own groups are missing, what would they say if they were in the book?
I just started reading the auto
biography by Ned Vizzini, and at one point in the story, he writes about all
the different groups there are at his school. For example, there are the geeks,
the drug addicts, the preppies and all sorts of funny groups. I think then one
group that I belong to in his classification would be preppie. Ned Vizzini says
that preppies wore okay clothes, didn't smell bad, all recognized each other
from the first day of school and always seemed to be doing something. I admit,
when I came to this school from Europe, I didn't recognize anyone at all for
obvious reasons. But every time I join a club, or go to a camp, there are
always a bunch of people I know, and we just hang out. We are always playing
basketball or chatting-we always have something to do. But in the book, preppies
seem kind of anti-social with people they don’t know. They also seem really
posh, not really my style.
If preppies weren't included in the book, I definitely think it wouldn't really change
anything because the characteristics they have are definitely included in other
types of groups. For example, geeks
always hang together and never socialize with other people like the preppies.
