Rumble Fish


Title: Rumble Fish
Author: S.E. Hinton
Author Study Book #3

Rumble Fish is an emotional book. This book could be considered a banned book because of the references to drugs, sex and alcohol. This book is a good book for middle school age students because I believe these students could relate the most because they don't know what they want in life. Also, these students tend to get into the most trouble. I would recommend this book to be read in a classroom because students can see the difference in the lives of different characters. This book also touches on abuse and identity.

This book is very emotional but, without meaning for it to be. In this book to learn about what happened to a friendship and also a family. This book is an example of survival of the fittest. This book is emotional because in the first paragraph it sets the theme of the story with the reuniting of old friends. Through out the book unfortunate events take place and things just go down hill.

I really enjoy this book, it is not a typical happy ever after book that kids are forced to read in elementary and middle school. This book is a good change a pace and can teach children different lessons without them realizing it.
