Character Analysis: A Hero's Journey

A scene that I disagree on was how Adam handled the situation of getting into the ICU to see how Mia was doing. What Adam did was he and Kim came up with a plan to try and sneak into the ICU by distracting the nurse and security grads.In my opinion what should have been done was since only family members were allowed to visit her Adam could have asked to be watched at all times during the visit by the security grads.A short passage from the book that I found meaningful was when Adam came inside to see Mia; he tried to help her with the decision of staying or leaving.This short passage was significant to me because it led to the development of the theme, love could never be broken apart no matter what the situation is, it will always be there. With the love and support that her boyfriend Adam gave her it made her more
motivated to get up a start a new chapter in her life with Adam, her best friend Kim and her grandparents. What I hear the writer of this book is trying to say to people is not to take things for granted cause everything in life can change in an instant.
In the beginning of the book Mia struggles with her life, it isn’t the way she wants it to be. All Mia ever wanted was to get into Julliard and play the cello.She wanted her life to be just perfect. However, everything changed when a tragic car accident killed her mother, father, and brother, Mia was the only one who survived, but she had to battle between life and death.A passage that I particularly found beautiful was when the author used two literary devices imagery and Dramatic irony. Imagery was used to convey mood and emotion to the readers.Dramatic irony was used to give an insight of what is happening to the reader prior the main character knowing. Dramatic irony changes the attention on the reader it gives a different way of understanding what is going on. The most confusing and difficult aspect of the text was having to associate the present with the memories that Mia had in the past. Towards the middle of the text past memories kept interfering with the things that were happening in the
present. This was difficult to interoperate because they put two different scenes in one.A few sentences later a memory from the past started flashing back at her.This affected my reading in a negative way because at times I was confused about what was going on, whether it was happening in the present or if they were memories from the past. I dealt with this by continuing to read. Eventually, I found out that all the parts at the hospital were parts that were currently happening and the parts when she was with her family, grandparents, Adam, and Kim were memories from the past.
