Bayne B.’s Reviews > The Burn Journals: A Memoir > Status Update

One symbol in my book is the comfy chair Brent has in his basement. I believe this is a symbol because it has been brought up multiply times. It seems whenever he is home he is in the comfy chair. I think this mean that it is comforting and gives a happy feeling to Brent.

The symbol in my book would have to be attempt to killing yourself. Brent tries to burn himself to death and that is meaning that he is trying to take the easy way out. Also, that he is unhappy with his life.

"I feel like I've been under the water for a long time." This is important because at this time because he just left rehab place. And, a couple weekends before he went back home to visit and had a ton of fun. So now that he can be home he feels better than at the rehab place.

In my book at the point I am at, Brent has just finished rehab, outside of the hospital. I believe Brent is happy to go home because he hated the rehab place. Plus, his counselors hate him and he hates them.

I would least likely to be friends with Brett. This is because he doesn't like the things that I do. For example, he doesn't like sports and I do.

The most important part in my book is when Brent burnt himself. This is the most important part because it is what the book is revolved around, and not everyday do you hear about a person burning themselves.

I would like that author to change the way they write the day to day writing. I think it makes the book long and less interest. I would like them to change it to the mote of a week to week, and less detailed.

I don't think my book would make a good movie because of how gory it is and how disappointed it would be to the watchers. I think this because of the burning and all the rehab.

The nurses in The Burn Journal are like my dog. The nurses are excited to see Brent and to see him get better. My dog freaks out when anyone comes home. So the nurses and my dog are alike in a way.
