Addison Stone Sparknotes

In the book, “The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone,” the reader experiences various perspectives, each reflecting the short life of a young artist named Addison Stone. The book, written by Adele Griffin in the style of a biography, features Addison’s life story, her interests, and occasionally, the same event as seen by various people in Addison’s life. In the story, each of the characters has their own distinct persona that shines through, mainly in how they interact with the late Addison Stone. How well do their names match said personas? Do Lucy, Jonah, Zach, Lincoln, “Allison,” and Addison actually match their names? Lucy Lim. Lucy is credited with being Addison Stone’s best friend and met her in kindergarten, when they both attended South
Addison’s bad boy was Zach Fratepietro. The name Zach means “God has remembered” which does not fit Zach Frat very well. Zach does not display any sort of religious belief. The only resemblance to said definition is that Zach is the type of person that cannot be forgotten. However, he is unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. Zach makes one of the book’s biggest understatements when he says that, “I loved her more than anyone else. But our breakup was bad, and our revenge was some dirty tricks” (Griffin 105). After breaking up with Addison, Addison first struck by creating a fake gossip website that bashed Zach for everything he did, regardless of how true they actually were. One of Addison’s best friends in New York, Erickson, claimed that “Addison and Zach fell in hate with each other.” And in further examination of their breakup and revenge war, he said that “Addison never lost the chance to call Zach a spoiled trust puppy. She always wanted to ‘see himself for who he is…’ I knew there’d be more twists on the Zach-and-Addison revenge show” (Griffin 129, 130). Erickson could not have been more right and Zach as a name versus Zach as a person could not have been more
