Am I Blue

     Am I Blue is truly a touching story by Bruce Coville. The main character Vincent is struggling to tell whether he is gay or not he is not sure but he is not sure if he wants anyone to know about it. Vincent wants to see everybody in the world which is kind of absurd. I think that he should let who he truly is out even though I am not one to say that. Now after my experiences i believe that you feel more comfortable about yourself if others who you live with everyday know who u really. Now I'm not saying everybody should know your secrets but they should know of any problems or your real identity.

     I have had a similar similar situation to Vincent except with my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I was the first one to realize that i had OCD and i really did not want anyone to know not even my mom or dad. Things had to be in straight line and symmetrical or else i would freak. When i had an uneven amount of apps on my phone I would have to purchase another one so i could an even number of them. I was really freaked out about my problem and not that it was a big deal but it would annoy me everyday. Sometimes i would run around a million times fixing the pillows on the couch. Recently i have told friends and family about my OCD and it has made me feel more comfortable.

     I think Vincent would feel much better after telling other people or showing who he really is, because you don't feel as if you don't have to hide anything. I do think that it would crazy for Vincent to create blue day because there are some people who would want to keep it to themselves. Overall this was a great story.
