The End Of the World As We Know it

First Impressions

Depression, confusion, loneliness, and anger. All these emotions are stored in one young man's life, and his name is Carson. He doesn't seem to like the world he lives in , particularly the people in it. Carson is neglected to care what others think.

One day Carson is told to write a paper for his course and he wrote about his hatred towards the world and people in it. Carson teacher Mr. Dodd shows Mr. Cromwell who runs the private school that Carson attends because Carson got an A+ on his paper. The private school that Carson went to was not any normal private school, it was a school for kids who needed extra attention. Carson states it as " the school for messed up kids".

Carson used to be like any other teenager but things changed when he looked at the world in a hatred perspective. He now lives in a dorm with a roommate named Griffin. Griffin was sent to this school because he tried to make nuclear weapon. People who went to the school had parents who were wealthy. Mr. Cromwell made this private school of a mining place that used to be located under the school. The mining place got out of hand because the employs were dying of sickness and so Mr. Cromwell used this as an opportunity to open a school.

Carson got into fights with girls, because a girl did not want to sit beside him. He thinks that's the reason he hasn't been able to get a girlfriend.  A girl once told him to move because she didn't like the way he dressed and looked, I guess that's why he hates the world because people in the world just don't seem to show him respect and love. He was told by his teachers to talk with the girl but the conflict got bigger and the girl went away. Carson is getting help by his teachers but I sometimes wonder if he is trying to make progress to make his life the most of it?

I think this book will be interesting because I like Carson's behaviour it causes suspense. He acts like he is a rebel but then he makes me think, behind all this anger there must be a reason and I want to find out what that reason is. I like the topic of this book because it focus on something close to reality, people like Carson who are alone and hate the world. It may be depression or anger that he holds but I sometimes relate to him. I sometimes too get angry at the world, for example; when I fell on the pavement and began to bleed when doing a race, I blamed the world because I wondered why they world has pavement, why couldn't it be sponge. As silly as it may sound it was the truth.

As this story goes on I learn more about Carson and his friends and teachers They all share unique personalities and all have a goal to peruse. We will see what happens in the next chapters to come.
