A Small Free Kiss In The Dark.
What was your first impression of the book?
My first impression of the novel titled “a small free kiss in the dark”was ,that it would be a bit weird. Because the title made absolutely no sense to me, and it still doesn't make sense to me in chapter 11. Aside from that after reading the prologue I knew that there were going to be some people named Billy and Max. The narrator was still unknown. As we begun reading I understood well what was going on, and I thought it would be one of those books were something unexpected happens. I just did not know what.
What do we know about the main characters?
Skip; Skip runs away from home because he is from a broken home with no father or mother. Skip is not his real name rather his …show more content…
It is damaged but Skip cannot part with it for what reason? Because he feels that it gives him strength and he feels his dad is a part of him “...it was all I had left of him pg.7”. He also says "The word 'coat' makes people think about feelings like comfort, warmth, friendship, safety and happiness." P.42
This means his dad's coat comforts him and makes him think about safety and happiness.
Cecily says to Skip “...home is where your winter coat is”. Well for starters your home isn't necessarily your house. Home is somewhere you feel safe and comfortable. You may feel this safety in your winter coat or you may feel comfortable. It does not literally mean wherever your winter coat is your house. Home does not have to be a place just somewhere you feel safe-your winter coat perhaps.
When Skip firsts sees Tia he mentions her coat firstly because hers was like his and wasn't in tip-top condition “...her coat fell apart at the front because there were no buttons to put through the holes.”p.117.He also seems to notice people's coats a lot more because of his love for his coat.
