The Misfits: Part II


Wow! I was surprised that Collin liked Joe too. I saw that going a totally different way in my head and cannot believe it worked out. I felt so much pride about the things Bobby was able to accomplish too. He finally found his niche in his job and started a new relationship with Mr. Kellerman. He set new groundwork for the relationship with his father and he really found out who he really was. I thought the process of Bobby finding himself in the last 100 or so pages really sums up why this book is important. You can go through life so long before you find out who you really are and once you do you turn that leaf and really start to live your life. Howe accomplishes this without it being an overwhelming ordeal. In a way we all go through this "growing pain" so to speak where we don't really know who we are and why we are on this earth. I think Addie was in this book to really help the people who read it to questions everything. Learn out why you feel the way you do and why you act the way you do. It is kind of the lesson I learned from this book, and in a way we are all "misfits" and like Bobby we do finally find ourselves in the end.... at least we can only hope we do.
