Eleanor and Park Post-Reading

                    "Yesterday happens...." is a quote for the novel Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell has a deep meaning.  I feel that the quote is talking about the past and about forgetting about it and moving on to the next day.  It's saying how things will happen and soon they will turn into yesterday and yesterday is in the past which you have to forget about.  And you should forget about it because a new day will happen and you can just start over again and forget about everything.  A new day will happen and whats in the past is in the past.  There's nothing you can do to change it.  I can relate to that because sometimes a have a bad day and sometimes I just need to forget about what happened and look forward to the next day and forget about that day and move on.  And so yesterday happens, once it hits 12 a.m it's in the past.  So when it's in the past I just try to forget about it because I know there is nothing I can do.  
                           This quote can relate to this novel in some ways.  It can relate because sometimes Eleanor has something bad that would happen to her and she knows it will soon be in the past.  She knows that what's in the past is in the past and she can't change it.  I feel that everyone can relate to this quote because they've all had the same feeling of having a bad day and it being in the past.  Along with the quote, people can relate to the novel.  And this quote can have different meanings so people can use their own perspective and say what they think this quote is about to them.

  1. The point of the post-reading is to show that you read the novel, which means that you need to include details from the text. You mentioned the main character's name, but did not mention anything that happened to her. You did not connect the quote to the text. Grade: 28/50
