In ”Coraline” by Nell Galman, is a wonderful book with a great storyline that incases the reader in it’s wonderful realistic world, which made me and countless others never want to stop reading. First written in the early 2000’s, it follows the story of a young girl who has to find her way out of a mysterious, clone, copy of her original life. I truly loved reading this book and I would recommon it to anyone who loves a quick read.
That night Coraline lay in bed, all bathed, teeth cleaned, with her eyes open, staring up at the ceiling.
It was warm enough that, now that the hand was gone, she had opened her bedroom window wide. She had insisted to her father that the curtains not be entirely closed.
Her new school clothes were laid out carefully on her chair for to put on when she woke.
Normally, on the night before the first day of term, Coraline was apprehensive and nervous. But, she realized, there was noth left about school that could scare her anymore.
This quotation is significant to say the least, because it shows the progression of Coraline’s character for the first to the very last page of this book. At the beginning of this book Coraline is a stubborn yet nervous girl, always fearful for the future. However, as we reach closer and closer to the last page we see how drastically she changes to a stronger, more well-rounded person. This I believe can signify many different irrelevent events that can happen in a person’s life to change them. Nonethless, it most certainly can be irrelevent to my age group as it is a clear example of how even one event can change a person forver.
