In the novel "If I Stay"by Gayle Forman, Mia is the main character. Mia is a very simple girl, she is passionate, shy, smart, and kind. She usually doesn't speak her mind because she is afraid of what people might think of her, so she keeps everything inside. Their family is very close knit but Mia has always had the feeling that she never belonged. She felt like she didn't fit in her family, or with her boyfriend and his friends, throughout the book Mia is very doubtful of herself and her choices. While she is in a coma Mia is very confused, on whether she wants to stay or leave. She is trying her hardest to make the best decision that benefits others and not herself, this is definitely one of Mia's flaws. She tries to put others happiness and concerns before her own. I feel she does this because she doesn't believe in herself, and the fact that she doesn't feel like she belongs is prolonging this decision she has to make.
Have you have ever been placed in a situation where you felt like you didn't belong? Do you think Mia should have tried to reach out and speak her mind instead of hiding her feeling, and trying to benefit others instead of herself ?
Ha, I always feel like I don't belong. I do think Mia should have told them how she felt, yea putting others before yourself is a good thing (sometimes) but theirs a point where you need to do something for yourself, and Mia keeping it too herself can only make things worse.
ReplyDeleteI have felt like I don't belong before,i'm sure everyone has. I agree with Sam, I think Mia should have old her family and boyfriend how she feels. She should also learn to choose to leave or go because she wants it for herself, not because shes scared of her boyfriend missing her or her family
