__// Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close //__

In __//Extremly Loud and Incredibly Close//__, Oskar, a quirky funny kid, has to grow up without his father. It has sentimental value for everyone who were affected by the tragedies of 9/11. He has to grow up without his father which can have a strong effect on children his age but he learns to vent his grief and frustration into solving his father's final puzzle. He accidentaly knocks over a vase containing the word black and after deciding it is a person he has a key that will fit into a lock that they might, theoreticaly, own.

From this book I learned that it is good to vent your sorrow and grief with another but its is best to find a unique way to vent such as playing the trombone, painting, or writing stories.There are a million different possibilities that you could use to solve your problem without being violent or even letting others know that you are grieving at all.

 * I cannot wait to read this book. The ideas and the story just seem so interesting and so deep. I love reading books and learning things and im positive that this is the perfect book to learn from. To see 9/11 and it's after effects through the eyes of a kid is so intriguing. **
