Zazoo

-Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher
-The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
-The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge

Comment: This book has a lot going on within it (growing old, family, young love, war, death, etc), making it applicable to many adolescent's lives. I especially enjoyed the portrayal of war and taking the "sour with the sweet" in life. Every character had personal flaws and that made the story so much more real to me.

Question: Young love is a theme that we see throughout all of the main characters. As college readers, do we interpret this love to be true love? How might we get a different reading from this than someone the same age as Zazoo?
