Vrishin Vinoth’s Reviews > Marcelo in the Real World > Status Update

A literary element I found in my book was the plot character vs society because Marcelo faces the hardship of following the rules of the world. He constantly messes up and cant do simple tasks fast.

This book has prompted me to ask why people look and treat autistic and neurodivergent people as subhuman and as if they are useless and idiotic.

The best part of my reading today was when Marcelo made a funny joke about mail and stamps. It was What did the envelope say to the stamp? “Stick with me, we’ll go places!” Hahahahahaha

What most surprised me in my book was when Marcelo's dad told him to stop talking to himself in third person and called him weird.

Hypothalamus is the word I chose, and it means a part of the brain that uses memory. This intrigued me because ive seen it before.

Roast a character: Toby is dorky and unfunny, nobody likes him in the book and they wouldnt in real life too
