Reading Response 2: Everyday

Now that I've finished the book Everyday I'm debatable abut if I like it or I don't like it. Throughout the book A struggles with living everyday as a different person while he is madly in love with a girl named Rhiannon. I loved the book from the beginning to the end, but I hate the way it ends so I guess that's the reason I'm not sure if I like it. It ends so abruptly with so much mystery that I don't even know what to think. The ending line is "Time moves on. The universe stretches out. I take a Post-it of a heart and move it from my body to hers. I see it sitting there. I close my eyes. I say goodbye. I fall asleep." I'm not completely sure what he means by goodbye, if he means goodbye to Rhiannon or what. The book was really god until it ended the way it did.

Reading Response 1:Everyday

Every Day is a book about a teenage boy named "A" who is a different person everyday. He has no problems until the boy he was for a day, Nathan, realizes he wasn't himself. Nathan begin telling everyone he was possessed by the devil. A knows for a fact he wasn't possessed but he struggles with the guilt he feels to make someone believe such a thing.

As A struggles he realizes that people blame the devil for things that he believes the devil does not control. "I think about how people use the devil as an alias for the things they fear. The cause and effect is backward. The devil doesn't make anyone do anything. People just do things and blame the devil after"

I connect to the character through this quote because i believe he is right and it makes a lot of sense. People who choose to do bad things often blame the devil when those bad things cause trouble in their life. IN some peoples minds blaming the devil is easier than blaming themselves. A knows this first hand because he lives as a different person everyday and sees the consequences to peoples actions and knows it isn't the devils fault. Human error comes from the human himself.
