Free Will Grayson: Character Analysis

Superior Essays
role in the novel, is the star of highschools football team, immensly tall and very muscular. A person that you never would think of being gay. Finally I want to turn to the emotional side of the charachters and the message of friendship that is fused in the story. You can see this for example on directly on the first and second page where it‘s written that the straight Will Grayson protects his gay friend Tiny Cooper. Even though they have some have some hardships they still like eacht other in a friendly way and trhoughout the novel they support eacht other.

I started to follow John Green and his books when i read “The fault in our Stars“ by him an really enjoyed it. So i wasn‘t really a suprise to me that WG, WG would be tremendous.

John Green always tries to bring serious topics into his books, considering the books that I‘ve read so far. For example in “The fault in our Stars“ he writes about two cancer victims that meet and start to develope feelings for each other. Combined with his style of writing and his sense of humor he brings some topics that are “hard“ to talk about to younger Generations. The movie versions of his books are also always top-notch which is why he reaches a wide audience also in other
