I would not have thought to match it with Huckleberry Finn, but you have made me think about this. It reminds me of John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men". The pairing of two characters who each have strengths and weaknesses, and who are held together by a strong sense of friendship and loyalty is there in both. You are a bit hard on Jose and Ray. You say they have chosen to be homeless. I think that they would say they have chosen to stay together, and that this represents home for them. The author does not tell us much about the time before the story starts, but considering both boys are only 14 I imagined that the homes they came from must have been pretty difficult.

]]> Comment on Twilight by Mrs Falconer http://storylines.edublogs.org/2009/05/02/twilight/comment-page-1/#comment-63 Mrs Falconer Tue, 05 May 2009 09:22:48 +0000 http://storylines.edublogs.org/?p=166#comment-63 I agree with you V-man: lots of drama, action and romance! And they continue in the next 3, right to the very end of the series. It's also really interesting to read a story that takes a different approach to vampires. Once you have finished the Twilight series you may wish to try Stephenie Meyer's other book: 'The Host'. It's not about vampires but does have an interesting romantic twist and lots of drama.
