In the book that I just finished reading, Eleanor and Park, the main character Eleanor goes through her life pretty much by herself. I mean she has a family but they don't really take care of her that well. Her mother puts her boyfriend before her kids and her father barely talks to her. Her siblings only care about themselves. She's kind of a loner and is constantly feeling like no one cares for her but herself. This all changes when she started dating Park. Of course she still has a treaterous home life. Her Mother's boyfriend was always aggressive and physically abusive to their whole family. She still had no money or toothbrush. But park made a lot of things better for her. He showed her what a real family was like with his, and made her feel loved and apart of something. I connected this situation and the song "Scar Tissue", by the Red Hot Chille Peppers. This section of the song is like a parallel to the life that Eleanor leads. She has this amazing thing going for her, (Park) the "sarcastic mister know it all" but she has no one to share it with. No friends, or family, and in the song they share this lonely view with the birds because there's no one else to tell.
