Flipped by Wendelin Vann Draanen

Significance
This book, tells the story of Juli Baker and Bryce Loski. Juli Baker had liked Bryce since the very begining. And from 2nd grade to 7th, that's how it was. She says: "My Bryce, still walking around with my first kiss" He says: "It's been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort" The whole plot matters because it is relevant to modern times, and it is something that us kids can relate to. The events that take place in this book are very important because it is these events that make up the book.I chose this book because first of all, I heard really good things about it, second of all because from reading the back, it looked really interesting and third, because I loved how simple and pretty the cover was. This book is relevent to most children, to adults not so much. A reader can take a great deal from this book. A bunch of life lessons, and new morals, I know I have.

Perspective
This book tells the story from both Juli's and Bryce's point of view. There is two chapters, telling one story of what happened, but in their own words. I love how you get to see both of their points of view.
This book was written in 1996, which is pretty modern. And I am guessing that the author had some experience with what she has written about because it is so well written!

Evidence

The arguement Wendelin Vann Draanen is trying to make is basically, stop and smell the roses. Bryce never even gave Juli a chance, never really looked or even talked to her. But finally when Juli gives up, then Bryce looks and sees how beautiful she is, inside and out. This is real evidence that you should really, stop and smell the roses, because you may just not know what you have until it's gone. (This fact supports the book very well)

Connections
This book was written in 1996, which is pretty modern. This book is realistic fiction, so it can happen in the real world, and probobly has, many times before. Juli loved Bryce because of his "brilliant blue eyes" and "drop-dead gorgeous" smile, but never looked on the inside. Because on the inside he wasn't as great as the outside. And sadly, many many MANY people do this in the real wold, they "judge a book by it's cover".

Example: You are walking down the road and you see this ugly, dirty mutt. You barely glance at it and walk away. Then you see this beautiful, gorgeous dog on the road. You bend down, seeing how pretty it is and then he bites your hand. For al you know, that ugly old mutt couldve been the sweetest dog ever but you never gave it a chance. How Sad. :(

Supposition

Based on the information given, I predict that Juli might give Bryce just one more chance. I think this way because at the very end of the book it said Juli Baker was thining that maybe Bryce wasn't such a moron after all. What happened was that Juli had a crush on Bryce. But then, Bryce did a really idiotic thing to get Juli angry. In the end, Bryce truly was sorry, and was really in love with Juli, but it was too late.

I suppose she will give Bryce another chance
