Cupidity by Caroline Goode

Significance

This book is significant because it's about gods and by reading this book you can learn more about the different gods. This book is about cupid coming down to earth and turning himself into a mortal. He tries to set people up and names himself Cupidity. Then the other god's come to check up on him and everything goes berserk. Cupid gets shot with his own arrow and forgets all about his mission.

Perspective

This story is told from the main character, Laura Sweeney's, point of view. She tells it the way a teenager would and that makes it sound like a teenager actually wrote the book.

Evidence

The author really did a good job creating conflict, because there is so much conflict in the middle of the book and then she solved all of the problems in the end. I mean, first "Cupidity" shot all the wrong people and so people who used to hate each other are now in love. Then Laura shoots "Cupidity" with an arrow so she gets all lovey and doesn't remember anything. And then the author solves all the problems and everyone lives happily ever after (sappy, isn't it?).

Connections

This story connects to the real world because people fall in love all the time and there are a lot of problems. Although, Cupid doesn't usually come and try to get you a boyfriend, does he? This was influenced by the past because in the olden days a lot of people believed in different types of mythology and different gods. This could affect the future because maybe in the future gods will come and grant wishes. (Yeah right)

Supposition

If this book was never published, then I wouldn't have learned so much about mythology. If it turned out that Laura figured out about "Cupidity" being Cupid earlier and everyone knew, then the book would have been boring because there was no conflict.
