After reading the novel Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell, I have indicated that I relate mostly to one of the main characters, Eleanor. We have a relation due to her not so great home situation, her surprising love life, and the fact that she is still functioning. Eleanor hasn't been satisfied with her home life nor have I. We both struggle with men mistreating our family, meaning late in the night waking up to fights and hearing our mothers cry. Both having to make sure that our siblings are okay before seeing if we are. With all of her little siblings sharing a room with her she often had to climb down from her bunk bed and gather them all in her arms. Pleading that everything would be okay when she knew that wouldn't be for awhile. In the novel, Eleanor doesn't want Park over or anyone at all due to the disfunction of her stepfather. …show more content…
I for one know who it feels to not want anyone to know what's going on with me when I go home, which is why I understand why she wouldn't want Park to stop by and ask for her like he did. In the end Eleanor got help, she went to her uncles and escaped. She moved and started a new life for herself and is finally happy which is where we differ. She has accomplished her goal where as I am in the process but will soon be able to say that we share that to. With Eleanor's home life affecting her in school her first thing to make her feel better was not a boyfriend but she meets a boy, Park. Whom she would have never expected to fall in love with. Eleanor has a rather different personality but, it's perfect for Park. He loves her for her. I don't have a boyfriend that I can say I am in love with like Eleanor but I do have a best friend that I love. We love each other just as much as Eleanor and Park because we get each other. Eleanor feels alone but not with Park. She can talk to him about anything no matter how weird it was or sounded and I can say the
