    This story is, to say the least, off-putting to a casual reader. I know I was thrown by the seemingly inexplicable behavior of Lenny and the nameless female protagonist. To focus specifically on the narratological aspects of this work, it is a highly frenetic and multi-faceted piece, where Lenny's crisp, staccato conversation only occurs in short bursts, rapid-fire like one of the guns he used in the Mekong Delta; by comparison, the narrator has long, flowery, vivid descriptive passages that abound with references to color and flowers. They are opposite in their analysis of the world around them, with the woman playing the role of the cautious, careful recovering addict and Lenny playing the chaotic force of addiction attempting to enter her…

This novel is a fairly straightforward read for a young adult. The story is narrated in third person, gives the reader details of the entire world where the story takes…

    Class A by Lucas Mann

    Before Lucas Mann started reading, he started off by telling the room which passages he was reading. It was a part in the beginning of his book, AND THE LAST PAGES. Talk about a spoiler. Then he said “It doesn’t really have a good narrative so it doesn’t matter”. This was amusing to me, and the rest of the room chuckled at his self-deprecating joke. Lucas started reading, and he had good material. It seemed like a book that I could pick up, read, and enjoy, much unlike the Jennifer Egan summer reading book. His writing wasn’t forced, it was as if he was letting us take a peak at his psyche, his way of being around Joyce, baseball, and weed. He was really comfortable talking about drugs, probably due to the fact that he was at his college. When he first mentioned mushrooms, I noticed a girl towards the front of the room in a Vassar Athletics jacket shift in her seat and look at her feet. She did it again near the end of his lecture when he read about his stoned car ride with Joyce. The second time she looked at her feet for a longer time. Maybe she was ashamed of being in the same category as this author; maybe she…

    The Boy

    Lines 4-6 exudes symbolism in many ways: “Hangars Hideout the boys called it, an undeveloped plot, a pit overgrown with weeds, some old furniture down there” (4-6). The name of the hangout has negative connotations, as if junkies and street trash “hideout” there to escape the wrath of normal day-to-day life. “Underdeveloped plot” symbolizes the youth of those that hideout there, perhaps of puberty age, and “overgrown with weeds” expresses that some of them have outgrown the hideout (4-6). Lines 4-6 are also used as a method of foreshadowing the action that comes later. With the addition of “some old furniture,” another negative connotation of the hangout is implied as trashy and disorderly, but conveys this hideout as a…

    The book is divided into two parts, before and after. The event that splits the book up is to much of a give-away for me to say unfortunately. The before part is mostly about the gang hanging out, they smoke, drink and do pranks while the after part of the book is much more about somethings else, but I can’t give away that either.…

    The time period in this book was somewhat recent so it just reinforced what I already had a pretty good idea about. She described the towns and schools that she went to with very good detail. In this time period casinos were becoming more popular in Las Vegas, which in the book her father figures out a system of counting cards to win gambling games. She grew up in the “Hippie” times, people…
