See Ya Simon by David Hill is one of my top reads . The book itself was and will remain to be the highlight of my work in English this year. My blog is going to be a review on the book and a few character descriptions.
The fictional novel See Ya, Simon is about a boy with Muscular Dystrophy. It is extremely articulated all through the story that Simon won’t live for one more year. Simon is a very moral and funny character who is not afraid to voice his opinions and doesn’t seem to care much, even though he knows he will die. His school is one of Simon’s primary settings, so if I had to describe one, it would be it. Simon is funny, cool, and funny. He had a best friend named Nathan who always helped Simon. Nathan is very happy, kind, and funny. At the beginning of the story, I was happy, but as it got closer to the end, I was a little sad because Simon was about to die.
Character review 1:
The first character I chose for the review was Nathan. The book was written in his point of view (POV) so readers were “stuck” with him . I grew to understand Nathan as his best friend was suffering all he could do was watch and that made me feel as if I were his “friend” because I felt like I was right next to him the whole time.
3 things positive about Nathan was that he was a great friend, he was mature and he was just a caring person overall.
Character Review 2:
The second character I chose was the MAIN character of the book and he made sure to let all the readers know that. The book revolved around Simon and his limitations but he never let them limit him. Simon was my favourite character, in the last chapter when Simon was finally at peace it was hard not to shed a tear because I felt as if I was a apart of his life.
3 positive things about Simon was that he was an eager and determined person never afraid to back down, he was persistent about everything he did and he was extremely humorous.
My takeaways from this story is to never be so judgemental about someone because you don’t know their story and to not let your appearance hold you back from doing the things you are passionate about.
ps.
I LOVED this book.
