Mission
In the book Mission by Jason Myers, the main character Kaden travels to his cousins house in San Fransisco. His cousin James is a well known book writer. Kaden is his parents are well aware of James problems. Like his drug addiction and his kid like brain who stays up every night. Kaden is kid who does not have a lot of friends so his parents want him to feel at home when he visits his cousin James in San Fransisco but it does not turn out the way Kaden could predict at all, therefore saying his main struggle in San Fransisco is their relationship along the way.
Kaden has always had a very strong connection to his older brother but sadly he lost him int the Vietnamese war. I think Kaden was feeling lost and in need of an older mentor, which is why his parents made him a trip to California. During his trip James and him have a roller coaster relationship. At first James is incredibly nice to him and greeting him but then James becomes a jerk and ditches him at KFC one night. So overall Kaden has not had the best trip.
I can very well connect to Kaden because one time in my life i have had a friend who was completely nice to me at one point but then turned into a complete jerk and start trying to act different, so i can feel what Kaden is feeling and can connect to him about the whole situation.
Overall i think that the fighting between Kaden and James makes this the great book that it is and i would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to read a crazy story.
I loved this book too. It has a very realistic ending (in the situation that they're in). I agree that some friends aren't actually your real friends and that really sucks. But that's how life is. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Sam! When I read for this book all I really thought about was how much of a jerk james was for doing all these things to a 15 year old!
