In
the book “Sorta Like a Rock star”, the main character, Amber Appleton goes
through many struggles, such as living on a school bus with her mother, her mom
dying, her dad leaving her, and her dog needing a $3000 surgery that she definitely
cannot afford. Even so, she continues to keep hope throughout the book.
Especially in rough times such as living on a school bus and her dog needing a
$3000 surgery.
One
situation in which Amber keeps hope is when her and her mother were living on a
school bus. Amber and her mother always said they would eventually get out of
the school bus, even though they clearly wouldn’t. But, Amber believed they
would one day. Also, Amber kept doing nice things for people. She would teach
the Korean Divas for Christ how to speak English, and go to the nursing home to
make the dying old people smile, even when she was the one who needed the most
help. This shows how when nothing was going right for Amber, she was still able
to keep head up high .
Another
example of Amber keeping hope when she was in the worst situation is when her
dog, Bobby Big Boy, needs a $3000 surgery that she clearly
couldn’t afford. When this happens, all she does is plan a big show to raise
money for him so that she could pay for it herself. She also goes back to the
nursing home to make the old people smile and apologize for her behavior and
not coming because her mom died and she was depressed (but she overcame it!)
This shows that she kept hope.
The
main character Amber Appleton keeps hope throughout the book no matter what
happens to her. We can use this in the real world because bad things happen to
people everyday and we should be able to help them and ourselves.
