The book I read was The Island by Gary Paulsen. It is about a 15 year
|
|
old boy named Wil Neuton who moves with his family to northern Wisconsin.
|
|
There he finds an island on Sucker Lake where he stays to learn about
|
|
himself.
|
|
|
|
Wil likes riding his bike early in the morning. He also likes watching
|
|
nature. He is very tall for his age-6 feet 2-but well-built and strong. He
|
|
is honest,cares about others and prefers to talk things through than
|
|
resort to violence.
|
|
|
|
The title is good because the book is very much about the island and
|
|
about Wil finding himself on this island. The island also becomes a very
|
|
prominent point in Wil's life. By comparison and observation, he learns
|
|
that all things are connected.
|
|
|
|
An interesting minor character is Emil Aucht. On the morning of his
|
|
first day in Pinewood Wil wakes up to find Emil staring at him through the
|
|
window. Emil is an old man with one tooth, no hair and ears that stick out.
|
|
He chews tobacco and spits brown gunk all over the place. He first appears
|
|
in the story to request that Wil help him get his car out of the mud. Then
|
|
Emil reappears to fix the plumbing,wrecking Wil's parents' nerves in the
|
|
process.
|
|
|
|
The atmosphere in the story is that of a small hick town in northern
|
|
Wisconsin:open,friendly,relaxed and very laid-back. It strikes me as being
|
|
very much like "cottage country" in northern
|
|
Ontario:lakes,forest,fishing,small town life. The time is the late 1980's.
|
|
|
|
The novel ends with Wil seeing that his father is watching him from
|
|
shore. Wil rows over and finds that his father is tired and sad,his eyes
|
|
rimmed with red from crying. Wil invites his father over to the island and
|
|
realizes that this saga will only end when Wil finds an island big enough
|
|
for his whole family so they can learn what he has learned.
|
|
|
|
I feel that the most interesting part of the book is the beginning of
|
|
each chapter where there is a paragraph by Wil himself about life and other
|
|
important pieces of trivia. It offers insight into Wil's personality and
|
|
gives his views on many subjects.
|
|
|
|
In conclusion,I think this is a good book for people my age. It
|
|
stresses the importance of knowing who you are and of saving the
|
|
environment. I enjoyed it and it really made me think.
