Impulse Theme
I've been reading Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. I had never read such an intense book before. So I never saw a message from a book that hit me this hard. There are actually 3 main messages that come from 3 different people in the book. And these three messages unite as one theme. Just like how the three people unite in the book. One girl, Vanessa, teaches us that love is something primarily needed in life. It warms the soul in a way that can sustain happiness in your life. Connor teaches us about acceptance. His family didn't accept him, which made him try to commit suicide. Not being accepted, wether it's your peers, or your family, can crush someone inside. I even went through a mini version of that. Being a sensitive person, I know how much it can hurt. And finally, Tony teaches us about trust. This is my favorite one because I can relate to it so much. Trust is what kept me from going insane in some situations. Therapy is supposed to make you feel better, right? And what do you you share with a therapist? Trust. Trust helps you. Trust heals you, in times of need. Sometimes trust can even save your life, as we see in the book. Love, acceptance, and trust are the most essential things in life. I believe that if everyone was loved, if everyone did love, if everyone was accepted, and if everyone shared trust with someone else, this world would be perfect.
