Write as you watch, and react accordingly.
Simply put, this story is just a description of two top students trying to spend a little extravagantly on the eve of graduation (to put it bluntly, "enjoy the graduation season"), it's very simple. But if you change the angle and interpret it from a deeper level (the audience is free to play and analyze by themselves), there is indeed a lot to be teased about.
First of all, it is schoolwork.
Amy and Molly, the two so-called high-achieving students, are almost the same in terms of academics and grades as other students who seem to be "unlearning and skillless". "Prestigious schools", the other is "learning and entertainment -> entering a prestigious school", different routes have the same goal. Mentioning this point is worth thinking about, because many people now have misunderstandings about "reading". how to say? Almost everyone agrees that "good study comes from hard work and diligence", indeed! But don't forget that "growth in reading" is not limited to this.
From the next point of view, "read well" = IQ + EQ + innate talent + acquired hard work.
Among these points, the only thing that needs attention is the element of "emotional intelligence." Some people say that this thing has nothing to do with reading. "Emotional intelligence" people, except for a very small number of "single-soldier combat" (super high IQ people). Therefore, "Emotional Intelligence", the two words, is the embodiment of wisdom in this day and age.
Secondly, it is romance.
Amy, came out for two years and never kissed the girl. In the end, because of disagreement with Molly, she gave up and kissed Hope. Unexpectedly, she kissed her into lace.
Molly, a book madman, "weird" Jared admires her, but is unmoved. It was not until the graduation ceremony that I kissed the country.
Carefully observe the relationship between two people, there are both similarities and differences.
The same: both make up their minds at the last moment and make up their love with a kiss
Different: One is "sexual orientation", and the other is "love cycle" (one is "speed dating", the other is "slow hot")
Finally, it is friendship.
As the saying goes, "love is stronger than gold". The word friendship is not something that can be bought with money, nor is it sprouted on a whim. It takes time to accumulate and settle down over the years. It is a day and night, after years of trials and hardships. from. Of course, in this long process of (forming friendship), it is inevitable that there is disagreement (argument) and selfishness of each person, but these are just fragments and tidbits. Walking past, the sea and the sky are bright, and the flowers of friendship bloom brilliantly.
Written at the end, the advantages and disadvantages of this work.
Advantage collection:
1. Campus youth classes, do not follow the usual path (no "sex comedy" elements deliberately interspersed)
2. From "Miss Bird" to "High Talent", Beanie Feldstein is getting "greasy" (acting highlights)
3. The story is light and simple, the content is relaxed and pleasant, not tired to look at, and conforms to the aesthetic concept of ordinary people
Collection of disadvantages:
1. The story lacks a sense of hierarchy, it is enough to read it at least once.
2. It depicts the commotion of youth (exploration of "sex" and self), but ignores the emotion of youth (especially growth).
The book is not exhaustive, so put aside the pen. Go to sleep...
