Title: The Avery show Experiment
Author: Kelly Oram
Part I
1.REFLECTION
Have you tried to fall in love with your best friend and looked at you just a friend?
I felt it was strong enough for Avery to proposed a theory, a scientific study rather of overcoming a heartbreak as her official entry for the Utah State Science fair of their school. And I did not expect that she could come up with her seven stages on how to heal a broken heart which are disbelief, denial, bargaining, guilt, anger, depression, and acceptance. To think that she used herself as a subject of the study she made, that makes me amaze.I hated to the one who broke Avery’s heart which is Aiden, Avery’s childhood, best friend and almost everything to her because they grow up together. Aiden made a wrong decision to throw away their relationship just because his girlfriend doesn’t want Avery as his friend. Consequently, I was surprised to the next thing that had happen for Greyson, brother of Aiden, famous in school, a womanizer and always called Avery and Aiden as a “Dork” became Avery’s savior in times that Avery was been rejected by Aiden his brother. In Addition, I felt happy seeing a womanizer (Greyson) found himself falling in love to a girl who was been at his side but he does not recognizes and just seeing her as a sister. Then, that is the time i realized that people would change into better in the name of love and for me it makes love sweet as it is. When the story is going to end, I felt angry to Aiden for he just found out that he also love Avery as what Avery felt for him that makes Avery confused and let him kissed her in order to know what spark would come but nothing had happen same as what he felt for Greyson when they kissed for the first time. And I salute Avery for making a right decision that he really Love Greyson and told Aiden the truth. There experiment was successful and became true to theirselves I felt happy when the story ended I imagine Avery and Greyson as a couple and I believe that Second chance of love is worth it to find and wait.
- CONNECTION
I had a friend before named Phil, I thought we were compatible in many ways because when I transferred a school to CCES he also decided to be with me. I am so happy for deep in me thinking that he might not want to lose me, maybe he wanted to be with me forever I liked him a lot since we had many in common. When we were almost a year in the said school Yes! We are okey but I found out he had no time for me and even don’t talk to me as if we are strangers. Then, that’s the time I just found out that he had a girlfriend without telling me. I felt shattered. Yet, I still manage to stand up and continue my life without him. Until now, we remain friends despite of what had happen. Even if its hard to accept but I did I surpassed the seven stages what Avery had just done.
Also, I can connect this story to a Korean movie I Remember You because the persecutor there which is a girl fall in love to a kid before who was been involve in the crime. They became friends when they grow up. Although, the boy always rejected the girl and told her that “ Your not my type” still she managed to stand up and do her best that the boy would soon recognizes her.
3.QUESTIONS
I can’t figure out why Greyson do not see Avery before as something a girlfriend type and only found out Avery when his brother broke Avery’s heart? Also, I was confused is Avery’s life only evolve to the two brothers? I can’t also imagine how would Avery deal with the two brother specially she and Greyson are now couple? Is what Avery felt for Aiden before is just an infatuation? And it is different to Greyson?
- PREDICTIONS
I think that Avery and Greyson are really distained for each other and the problem that Avery had before is a bridge that they would found theirselves together. Also, I think that Aiden now is blaming himself letting Avery being with his brother.
Part II ( Write a letter to the author)
Dear Ms. Author,
Good Day!
I just wanna say Thank You for making this story really amazing to inform me not only I but also many people around the world that instead of going to suicide because someone broke there heart, they will inspired by your write ups that allow them to stand up, that second chances are always worth to wait for. Ms. Author, I am waiting for your next story with the character Aiden. I wanted to know what will be his story after what happened. I do appreciate Ms. Author if you would continue your book with him.
Again, Thank You very much Ms. Author hope to read your books as soon as you published more because I do like the way you write for as a teenager even those adult who have been rejected and felt the “Friend Zone” thingy will still have the courage that the wounds in their heart would be healed as long as they tried to continue their life even though how hard it is.
