Teen Idol by Meg Cabot

Significance

This book is important because it tells about what a real teenager goes through. Meg Cabot is an awesome author because she understands about things, all kinds of things. That's why this book was so awesome. This book also shows that people can be anything they want to as long as they try hard.

Perspective

This story is being told by the main character, Jenny Greenly. Everyone thinks of Jenny as the nice girl next door. Then a movie star comes to her school and she is his personal tour guide. He shows her that she always does the good thing that only lasts for a little bit and she has to fix it again. He helps her to see what she should do instead.

Evidence

This book has a few arguments. Jenny and her BFF have a fight and Jenny relies on her so she doesn't know what to do. The movie star is trying to change her life and is succeeding. She is in love with one of her friends from school. She's not sure if her likes her back. She is trying to keep it a secret that she is the person in the school newspaper that everyone writes their problems to. Most of these problems are solved towards the end.

Connection

This story is connected to the real world because in the real world (specifically school) people get teased, people need help, and most of all people need friends. All of this connects to the book because that is the message that the author is trying to get out.

Supposition

If the author changed the story a little and maybe instead of a movie star giving her advice it was one of her friends. The story would be a little different. But i would be a lot different in the end too, when one thing was supposed to happen but another does.
