Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books We All Fall Down

★ ★ ★ ★ 1/2 We All Fall Down marks only the second Young Adult book that I’ve ever read and the first I’ve read by choice. The first novel, not surprising, was by the same author, which I read more than a decade ago--maybe closer to two decades--when I was trapped some place (I don’t even remember where) and Fade was the only book available. I liked enough of what I read in the time available that I later found another copy and finished the book. I’d remembered Robert Cormier’s name and some years back bought We All Fall Down. I had not been exploring the YA section but since there was nothing on the front cover to indicate otherwise, it had been shelved out of place. A contributing factor may have the back cover’s encapsulation of the book. It read like a crime novel. It’s part of the reason Cormier had been considered a controversial author. He tended to cover adult subjects in his YA books. He argued: “Every topic is open, however shocking. It is the way that the topics are handled that's important, and that applies whether it is a 15-year-old who is reading your book or someone who is 55.” We All Fall Down opens with four teenagers vandalizing an upper middle class house with nobody home. That changes when the 14-year-old daughter returns alone at the wrong time. Immediately we witness how Cormier flirted with adult themes. Two of the boys hold her arms as the leader, older and more vicious, drops his pants. Angered when she fights back and then tries to run, he pushes her down the basement stairs, the results of which leave her in a coma. The fourth boy, the least culpable of the invaders, watches the encounter from start to finish from the second floor. The girl’s eyes find him and beg for help, and he is unable to move. We will follow him as he tries to deal with varying degrees of guilt. The second of the three viewpoint characters is the family’s oldest daughter, two years older than her sister. What was done to her house, and particularly to her room, disrupts her life at a critical time in her emotional development. The final player is a voyeur who had convinced himself that he was part of this house, of this family. He witnesses the entire event and--as he'd already christened himself “The Avenger” when prowling--he swears vengeance. His revenge, however, has a significant hurdle to overcome. As the first sentence from one of his early scenes explains:

The problem with being an eleven-year-old Avenger was just that: being eleven years old and an Avenger.

Because the main characters each carry what seems to them to be substantial and deep-seated anguish (or at least the two that do not consider themselves an avenger do), it’s natural to suspect what follows will be a novel of introspection. While teenagers and angst tend to mix well in fiction, the story does open out include families and, in some cases, the past. There is movement, and through cause and effect their worlds begin to intersect, all in believable and interesting ways. But eventually it will wind down to only these three, initially a confrontation between just two of them, but with results that will deeply affect the third. Which is where, had I not been so invested, I might have had cause to be wary. The other primary reason Robert Cormier was considered controversial was that things often did not turn out well for his protagonists. Not only did they not win, they often lost. Often suffered losses. I felt the conclusion rendered here was appropriate. “Happily Ever After” and “Deep Tragedy” need not be the only choices. We All Fall Down finds satisfaction somewhere in the middle.

Critique Of Books We All Fall Down

The audience is the most perplexing element of this book which though marketed to YA seems more to tempt that audience with promised (and delivered) violence while also speaking to an adult audience with another voice entirely.A Clockwork Orange meets Judy Blume with not the most appealing, or writerly, depictions of violence, violation, and threat. Ultimately describes the inability of parents (or anyone) to really know the minds or lives of the generations either side if them.

I loved this book. Its a real tear-jerker. I couldn't wait to get to the end and when I did I was surprised at what happened. Of course, to find out you'll have to read it. :) At 9:02 pm, four teenagers trash through a cottage on the other side of town. Being drunk they didn't fully understand what they were doing until after they had pissed on the walls, vommitted on the floor, broken everything in the house (except the windows), and raped Karen Jerome. They push her down a flight of stairs

Brilliant, if not slightly controversial in regards to themes, for a Young Adult audience. I thoroughly enjoyed the thought-provoking notions and ideas this novel created.Great use of allusion, juxtaposition and POV. Good read for senior students and an excellent opening for conversation.This is not necessarily a YA read - so give it a go.

I think this was a good book, but it was a little bit confusing, because it jumped to different scenes and time period. My favorite character was buddy because he was bad at first when he did the trashing, then he felt bad and found his love of his love jane and became a better person for her.the theme of the story is to not let yourself get into problams because of drinking,because someone is always going to get the truth out of you sooner or later. i think this book should be tought in

Pretty great book! Had no idea what was going to happen and was surprised at the end!

I thought this was a great book. It has all the weird twists and turns that you don't expect a book to contain. I believe that this book should be taught at a high school level because it shows how some people are in this world and that everyone has things in there life that you'd never expect until you get to know them more.I would recommend this book to friends knowing that they would be hooked like I was. When rereading some parts of the book you start to get a better understanding of the
