I find the tone of the book Eleanor & Park, written by Rainbow Rowell very
powerful because it’s about two completely opposite people finding extraordinary love
between each other. I guess what they say is true, opposites attract.
The reason why I think the tone of the book is very powerful is that not only are
they so different, but they are so in love. But because of how they don’t care about what
other people think they know that they make each other happy and don’t need anyone's
opinion about it. For example, “When he saw Eleanor walking toward him on Monday
morning, Park wanted to run to her and sweep her up into his arms. Like some guy in
the soap operas his mom watched. He hung on to his backpack to hold himself back…
It was kind of wonderful. Park was just her height, but he seemed taller. Eleanor's
eyelashes were the same color as her freckles. They talked about the White Album on
the way to school, but just as an excuse to stare at each other’s mouths. You’d think
they were lip-reading.”
This shows that even if you are different then someone, there's nothing holding
you back from loving them. Also that there is no reason to care what others think about
your relationship. If you do care then you shouldn't be in that relationship in the first
place.
