Anderson seems to be lacking on the drawing in effect of the conflict. Prom’s conflict is slightly immature and though it is interesting it seems a tad pedestrian. I wish Anderson’s character development has just a tad bit more mature. The characters aren’t as believable as I wanted them to be and that disappointed me some. Anderson goes into detail on each character and her description are very good, I just wish there was more to the book. Although the characters and senerios seem a tad childish, they are developed pretty well. She is a trustful narrator but she is not the average girl, in opposition to her best friend Nat, she doesn’t automatically want to help out when the prom falls apart. You see the thoughts and emotions of someone who went through all the event in the novel. Prom’s message is clear and easy to follow Anderson does not get off the path of theme or is sidetracked by the plot alone.Īshley, the main character, tells you the story of Prom through her eyes. Anderson can easily pull in the reader and show you that in times of disaster your friends and family will always be there for you and you will always be there for them. Laurie Halse Anderson brilliantly shows the struggles of a poor neighborhood and how they can all come together to save something and pull the town together. As you follow Ashley and realize her difficult life one realizes how important your friends and family are.
