Jeremy Fink And The Meaning Of Life Book Report
n the book, Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life; which was published in 2006 by Wendy Mass, just before his thirteenth birthday, Jeremy Fink receives a box from his late father and it contains the meaning of life. I didn’t like the book because, I was expecting the ending and the book was very predictable.

The theme of Jeremy Fink and the Mean of Life,is that you try your hardest and never to give up; Jeremy thought he would never be able to the box from his late father. He kept trying and finally got to open the box. The main characters are Jeremy Fink, and Lizzy Muldon, Mrs. Fink, Mr.Ozzwald, and Mr. Fink. The settings are in the lake, Jeremy's house, Lizzy’s house, and Mr.Ozzwald’s house. The author uses the feeling of what kids can feel when you lose someone, it uses your feelings because everyone has lost someone close.

I didn’t find this book interesting at all, there were not enough details, and there were not very many interesting moments that kept me hooked to the story like other books have. The story could have more details and more events that could have interested me more, I won’t remember this book like I have with others in the

    This story was very odd but was a good book. The fiction of this story is tied to reality in a very unique way, that is very effective in making the story not feel very fantasy. This feature made the book truly more enjoyable. Other writing techniques like not having any foreshadowing. The book keeps you guessing until the very end. Even within the story parts that I had never seen coming, Like releasing the prince. Allowing Alix to run away and eventually return on curiosity.…

    Just in general, I suppose that I do find the first book of the novel quite interesting. I enjoy the footnotes that go along with the story, as they add a great amount of depth and character to the story as a whole. Along with that, the footnotes also provide a good insight to the culture, traditions, mythology and history behind the story line.…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    The hole in the wall in "Jeremy Fink and the Meaning Of Life" allows Jeremey and Lizzy to communicate using notes, and they live right next to each other. "We agree that I'll send a note through the hole in the wall once I've been punished and sent to my room, which, I'm positive, is what will happen." Pg 18. This is important because this is the way they communicate the entire way throughout the book.…

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting.

    This book was very different than anything I have ever read. I am still deciding whether I liked it or not. It was hard for me to follow because it kept jumping back in forth in time. The first three chapters I hap kept re-reading to focus and grasp what was going on. I was extremely confused and it went from the opening scene in 1931 to Milkman being four years old in one paragraph. I do feel this is a book you need to read over and over again to fully gain an understanding of the messages and symbols the author was displaying through each character. I thought the book was interesting that although it dealt with racial issues and focused on how characters such as Guitar and Milkman had different views of status and discrimination, their was very little mention of white characters in the book. The majority if not all the characters were black decent and it was purely one sided view on how the black race dealt with racial issues in a small town at that time. I think Pilate was a crazy character and I didn't like how long it dragged out to find the true nature of why her relationship was the way it was with her brother Macon Dead Jr. I feel like the author was changing the subject and jumping around so much that you never fully get to know any one character. I didn't like how the author killed Milkman in the end, it was as if you finally made some self discovery and then he jumps to his death. The book just builds and layers and builds, and when you finally feel like you might understand where it's leading three of the main characters die within the last pages. Aside from racial views and Milkmans self discovery from his life as his fathers son, to discovering his family history and where he wants to be in the future, I didn't really connect with any other character in the book, or understand their significance in his discovering…

    The novel begins with the statement: “To have a reason to get up in the morning, it is necessary to possess a guiding principle.” This statement is true because in order to actually be successful, one must know what they want to become in life. Guest compares these “guiding principles” to bumper stickers, since they identify and summarize the beliefs of different people. The main characters that the author focuses on in this novel are Conrad and Calvin Jarrett. The Jarrett family has been traumatized from a boating accident, which killed their eldest son, Jordan “Buck” Jarrett. Conrad, Calvin’s son, has been affected so greatly by this tragedy that he attempted to commit suicide about six months later by slashing his wrists with a razor.…

    The book is told in a circuitous way; I found the jumping back and forth in time a bit distracting, but more off-putting was the way Xeones forecasts an event or subplot before narrating it in detail later. Already knowing how Thermopylae turned out, I was hoping for some suspense in the details, but there too Pressfield tells us the end before getting started on the story…
