So i just started to read Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini, and the story is alot like a middle/high school kid who is in school. I haven't read much of the book yet but definitely it is attractive to me. The story is about a real life situation that almost everybody goes through. So the main character Jeremy really likes this girl named Christine. But he heard rumors about him giving letters to her. So he goes to his friend Micheal, and he gives some good suggestions he can use. He tells him about things he would have done, and he also told him as long as you know you didn't do something then, you should not listen to any body else.
Micheal seems like a very powerful character in the book. From what I have seen this person is a really good friend. He is trying to show his friend Jeremy the right thing to always do. The author kind of symbolizes him in the story between the connection of Christine and Jeremy. I think the author intentionally used this strategy because it makes the story more like a real-life one. The author also uses Micheal as a mentor to Jeremy. I am guessing that throughout the book Jeremy will be coming to Micheal for help with his situations. The author makes the story more meaningful by making the mentor a teen that is the main characters age rather then somebody older because not always does somebody older can help you with some situations.
