In John Green's "An Abundance of Katherines," Colin Singleton and his best friend Hassan are on the run. Not from the law, no. These two boys are on the run from their pasts. Throughout his whole life, Colin has been seen as a prodigy. But, seeing how he has just graduated high school and has done nothing especially outstanding with his life, those days are just about over. It is not intellect, however, that Colin is running from. Colin Singleton is running from his romantic past. Colin has dated 19 girls in his lifetime, all named Katherine. He has also been dumped by 19 girls in his lifetime, all by girls named Katherine. In a desperate attempt to escape this romantic rut of his, Collin grabs his best friend, Hassan, and heads off on a road trip to the middle of nowhere, also known as Gutshot, Tennessee, where he meets Lindsey. She has a boyfriend named Colin (TOC), and lives with her mother, Hollis. Can Colin finally escape his rut? Is it possible that everything he was looking for could be found in this tiny, Tennessee town? Pick it up and find out.
Megan,
ReplyDeleteFun new look, but a little hard to read with so much going on in the background. Also, you are missing two of the five blogs for quarter 2. Also, these blogs are out of order. Look at last weekend's homework to see what you need to add and then tell me to take a second look. Also, Edgar Allan Poe's name is incorrect in one of your blogs.
