Book Reviewed Title: Deenie.
Author: Judy Blume.
What it is about:
The reason why the book is titled Deenie is because it is writing about a girl's life, named Deenie. Her name was given after her mother watched a show, which the main character, Deenie was beautiful. And thus, just like she had expected, Deenie turned out to be beautiful too. Her mother had overwhelming expectations of Deenie to become a professional model. However, while going through an interview, she suspected there was something wrong with her backbone as she could not walk normally like the others. The checkup at the hospital proved she had Scoliosis ( curved backbone) and her relatives began to break down. She had to wear a brace for four years and give up her cheerleading and modeling. Her mother was desperate in getting her a modeling job and this devastated her. Many things happened on the way with her boyfriend, Buddy and her best friends. She refused to accept the truth and became hot-tempered with her annoying brace. Her sister was supposed to score flying colors as she always did, but this time, she disappointed her mother by dating her father's worker and flung her tests.
Why recommend:
I enjoyed this book alot because the book seems like it was talking about my life. Deenie had scoliosis and I had it too, except the fact i don't need to wear a brace. She had a gymnastic friend who had eczema and I suffer badly from it too. It was really interesting as I could finally discover my feelings and what others think of me. Especially, the author scooped up many emotional words and picked out every little action. I felt Deenie's fustration when she attempted to cut her hair short and her disappointment.
You might wonder why most of my book recommendations are written by Judy Blume. I am fanatically in love with her books as I like to read about other people
s life in a simple way and specific in a way I feel I was the character. I hope everybody could read it and experience more about people.
4 items:
The scoliosis brace plays an important role in Deenie's fustration and anger as it was the thing that felt uncomfortable and redraw her from her dreams
Money was very important as her brace costs her family a bomb and her father had difficulty struggling with his work.
Her mother also expected her sister to get flying colors for her exams but unfortunately she was dating her father's helper which caused her grades to decrease.
Deenie snipped off her hair out of fustration and created the trend, leaving a few strands dangling behind as she was popular.
