I didn't notice anything particularly good in the first third of this book. Because I'm not sure what the storyline of this book is, and where the author is attempting to take the tale, Simon Spier - a 17-year-old high school lad who is gay but not openly, had secret and intimate email interactions with a person named Blue and was then found and blackmailed by a classmate. Furthermore, despite having watched a lot of it, the nuances of American high school life, and the thoughts, and acts of the adolescent guys and girls over there appear rather alien and perplexing to me. There are several films covering American school subjects. However, the more I read, the more I am sucked into Simon's narrative, his private thoughts, and the shared lines and feelings between him and Blue. and the main character is full of wit.
I understand why Simon is still putting off seeing his family, and why coming out is so tough for him. It's not because Simon is terrified of his parents and sisters' reactions, or of being shunned or rejected, but because he is afraid of the very meaning of coming out, which means too much to him. enormous and significant, but strangely related to the time when he simply had to pronounce three words correctly: "I am homosexual." He was scared that his coming out would mean having to reintroduce himself to the world. Simon's critical thinking is admirable; why should just LGBT individuals come out? Why don't "straight" individuals have to define themselves as such? Aren't all genders and sexual orientations equal in an age where everyone aspires for gender equality? Why have LGBT persons come out with their gender become such a special and significant thing that it has become such a burden? So, Simon, I'm going to come out. OK, I'm a heterosexual lady who likes males.
Simon's fear of coming out and postponing it is absolutely natural. Remember that the narrative takes place in Georgia, one of the United States' southern states. And the Southern states are today known as places controlled by white Americans, secluded, conservative, Republican-elected, right-wing ideas hostile to the Democratic Party's left-wing philosophy. To be honest, in the United States, I consider only New York and California as truly free and open in mind, a nation of many liberals, possibly because of these two states. has the greatest number of people from all over the globe coming to work and live in the United States. I'm not sure about the other states, but the southern states are generally always deep red (red is the color of the Republican party). As a result, the recent news that Alabama, another southern state in the United States, voted for Doug Jones, the Democratic nominee, to represent the state in the Senate, is regarded as a resounding success. It was dramatic and extraordinarily remarkable since Alabama had not voted for a Democratic candidate in 25 years.
Of course, Georgia, being a Southern state, isn't fully gay-friendly. In the anecdote, even Simon stated that he would not dare to take the hand of the boy he loved in the middle of the street. Simon experienced particularly nasty mocking at school after the news that he was gay became widespread online, with him being branded a "fag" (a derogatory slang for gay males). Simon's Creekwood School, fortunately, has a zero-tolerance policy, which means that even minor violations of school policy will result in punishment. racist, but one day he went to school wearing a shirt that stated "Nigger" - a derogatory term for black people - and after explaining that it was simply a joke, he was expelled as usual). Furthermore, Miss Albright and Simon's classmates are so fantastic that they actively oppose Simon.
That is why I believe this work is about more than simply homosexual love. It also discusses friendship, the colorful school life, with difficulties centered around studying, going out, rehearsing plays, the characters' friendships, the character's troubles, and conflicts. People in their twenties are maturing. I adore Simon's circle of buddies. Likes Nick, Abby, Leah, and even her bad pal Taylor, who sings well. And he particularly loves Simon since he listens to all fine music, including music by Sufjan Stevens, the main composer of the soundtrack song "Call me by your name." This film also tells the narrative of a gay love affair.
The more I read, the more I recognized that the process by which Simon uncovered the true identity of his buddy Blue - with whom Simon secretly wrote loving letters via email - was part of the major narrative of this novel. I spent hours with Simon in suspense, reasoning and guessing who may be Blue, the kid Simon secretly loved and missed despite not seeing his face. I enjoyed it as Simon's emotional development and love for Blue grew through letters, but when Blue unveiled his face and the two formally started dating, I liked it even more because of their unmatched attractiveness. The path of God At the amusement park, Simon asked Blue if he may hold Blue's hand, and the way they kissed, embraced and touched, Blue's love words to Simon.
