I have just started reading this book and so far it's okay, the beginning is sort of slow. My goal right now is to not give up on this book, I was told that it will pick up soon and will be really good.
So the main character I've been introduced to is Kevin Patterson. When I typed his name in my blog I got really personally confused... I had read the authors name and the characters name and realized they're the same... I did a little extra research and found out this book is a memoir. Just thought I'd share that ha ha.
To be honest, I have thought long and hard about what exactly I have absorbed from this book that will help me explain Kevin Paterson's traits and personality. I really have thought a lot about his personality and I must say he's a very normal human being, and by that I mean his personality seems to change a bunch.
So far I cannot seem to label Kevin Patterson with a specific character trait. His true identity is yet to be known. His characteristics are all over the place and to be honest I really could not pick a paragraph out of my book or a direct quote because none of them seemed to fit him. It's quite hard to explain so I apologize if this gets quite confusing. My estimation of why he seems so confusing is because at this point in his life he seems like a very confused person, he is confused by love and needs to get away.
So since I cannot determine his character traits I'm not to sure how I could explain the outcome of this character but I bet he'll end up becoming a little less confusing as I continue to read. Life for him will turn out less confusing and I'll be able to understand better.
The song off of YouTube to help represent the Kevin Patterson's character traits is called Sandstorm- DaRude. I think techno is the closest song that relates to his traits. The things in common with techno and Kevin Patterson's traits both have the fact they're always changing. Kevin's mood is changing all the time, and for Sandstorm the speed of the song is constantly changing as well.

Hai Gia,
ReplyDeleteThe song Sandstorm- DaRude is realated to your character right? If you could pick two or more traits from your character to realate to this song, what would they be?
Hai Lily!
ReplyDeleteYes Sandstorm- DaRude is related to my character.
I'm pretty sure I already explained the answer to this question in my blog but I'll answer it again.
Near the beginning of the book Kevin Patterson was a very love confused character. But by the end of the book after he sailed to Tahiti things got better for him and became less confused. So the 2 things that related to my character and this song would be that the beginning it's calm then it picks up and the beat, speed things like that were everywhere and not consistent, which resembles his ever changing attitude. Then once it reaches the end of the song it then stops which would resemble near the end of the book as to how he's become easier to figure out and not as love confused.
