Colin's Katherines: An Abundance Of Katherine
The title of this novel perfectly resembles it because there are a lot of Katherines talked about, Colin has trouble with Katherines, but there could also be a different title fit for this book. In this novel it talks about how one of the characters named Colin had dated nineteen girls named Katherine and that they all broke up with him. After the nineteenth one broke his heart he locked himself away in his room and didn’t want to come out. His parents came in to talk to him but he didn’t really feel like talking and then later his best friend came in and tried to cheer him up and get his out of the house. Colin was reminiscing the good ole’ days when he was happy and had a girlfriend named Katherine, which is ever single girlfriend he has ever had. He was having flash backs of when they were together and when they broke up and then when he would get another girlfriend named Katherine. He has realized now that the problem wasn’t him but that he should just not date another girl named Katherine ever again. …show more content…
But in the novel there are only nineteen of them that Colin dates. I think that the title could be just plain and simple like “Nineteen Katherines” or something different and with that title people would connect it with the novel better than “An Abundance of Katherines.” In this novel Colin dates nineteen Katherines and has trouble with girls named Katherine. The title of this novel could also be something different so that people to relate it

    After Colin’s death, Mark goes into a state of denial and his build-up of guilt causes him to have a mental breakdown along with signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Deep into the novel, Mark retells the story of the ’Boy from Beirut’ to Joaquin and he explains how it was his fault that the boy is dead. This affected Mark in many ways as it left in an emotional trauma and self-isolation state that made it hard for Mark to open up to others again. As Joaquin and Mark explore the depths of this memory, Joaquin said “You never pass over them [our pains]. You carry them with you forever. That is what it means to live”(p.124). The ideology behind this is everyone must learn to live with the pain through their lives. This helps Mark to unlock the guilt that he is hiding away and that there is only one person that can only truly forgive him...himself. After this moment, Mark’s heart and mind are opened and he learns how to forgive himself for his actions that took place during that…
