Narrative To Books The Realm of Possibility
One school. Twenty voices. Endless possibilities. There's the girl who is in love with Holden Caulfield. The boy who wants to be strong who falls for the girl who's convinced she needs to be weak. The girl who writes love songs for a girl she can't have. The two boys teetering on the brink of their first anniversary. And everyone in between. As he did in the highly acclaimed Boy Meets Boy, David Levithan gives us a world of unforgettable voices that readers will want to visit again and again. It's the realm of possibility open to us all - where love, joy, and the stories we tell will linger.

3/5 stars. I've read a few of David Levithan's books and I've liked them. And I liked this one. This is a book of poetry, it's written beautifully and so simply as well. Many peoples stories are told in this short book and their lives all connect with each other's somehow. This book was a great voice for all those angry teenage emotions, a voice for people who may not realise what others are going through. A lovely short book with diverse characters and powerful messages.OMG! Levithan is a genius. This book, a novel in verse, has 20 narrators, all students at the same high school. Each tells his or her own story, and they all are inter-related. Some are friends, some are enemies, some are romantic interests. As always, Levithan includes gay and lesbian characters with respect and affection. Each student has a distinctive voice and we grow to love all of them. To fully see the relationships, I created a chart to show whose story was whose, who they liked and
"I often feel I am living in fragments, skipping Over words, leaving the rest of the sentenceBlank in order to move to the next page.Maybe there is hope in fragments, that what is lostCan always be filled in by someone who knows."Every person is a planet with an atmosphere, that sometimes collides or fuses with other ones. If this book shows anything, it's that we never know what really goes on in people's minds, even when we think we figured it out (like we think in high school, where
As a fan of David Levithan, I was intrigued when I found out this book was written in verse, a compilation of poems. I was anxious to see how he would recreate the minds of teenagers in writing about love, life, etc. After reading it, I realized that it is just like any other collection of poems or short stories: some are better than others. I am sad to say that I found the characters in this book very unrealistic. Teens don't act like this is in 2013, and I highly doubt they acted like that in
I didn't know this novel was written in verse when I borrowed it from my library, but no matter, I love the format and David Levithan certainly has solid poetry-writing skills.The Realm of Possibility is a collection of 20 stories told by the students of the same school, each written in its distinct voice and style - song lyrics, linebroken prose, free verse, etc. These stories and lives are interconnected in very interesting and often unconventional ways. It is a pleasant surprise that Levithan
I have never been more glad for being in a reading slump. Seriously.The thing is: I've been reading Prince of Fools for about a month now. For two weeks out of that one month, I haven't exactly been reading it, since I haven't even touched it for once. I'm not sure what happened, because I didn't entirely lose interest in it, I just... I just couldn't pick it up again. So I went for something light, something short, something with a pretty cover - obviously, The Realm of Possibility was the
Beautiful. A story of love told through poems of many voicesboys and girls from the same high schooltrying out life and love and everything in between. Read it and smile and remember yourself at that age. We've all been there.
