I have just started the book, The Adoration of Jenna Fox, by Mary E. Pearson, and a lot has happened so far. Sometime in the near future, Jenna Fox, 17, awakens from an 18-month-long coma following a devastating accident, her memory nearly blank. She attempts reorientation by watching videos of her childhood, "recorded beyond reason" by worshipful parents, but mysteries proliferate. Jenna can recite passages from Thoreau yet can't remember having any friends. Asking her mom is one of the things that she will never ask her mother; "Did I have any friends?" The reason why Jenna Fox thinks that she never had friends is because she was sick for over a year and yet she received not a single card, letter, balloon, or bouquet of flowers. In this blog, I will go deeper into Jenna Fox.
Even though I have just started The Adoration of Jenna Fox, a lot can be known about the characters. The protagonist of this book is Jenna Fox. One thing that I noticed about Jenna Fox is that she isn't so worried about her health. When she was talking about how she can't eat but is only dependent on the doctors. She trusts the doctors and trusts people. Also, she is also out of the zone. If i woke up from an 18 month coma, I would be so worried and try to learn everything and try to get into everyone's business to see what I missed. With Jenna Fox, on the other hand, she is just all alone thinking. Every couple of pages, there is something about her thinking. That is all she is doing, and I wouldn't be doing that if I were her. I also think that she thinks about life more mentally and soulful than physical life. The reason why I think she acted like this is because of the coma. She was all in her mind when she was in a coma for 18 months. I think this is what Jenna thinks, and what is the overall theme of the book so far: your soul is the only thing you need to have a wonderful and happy life. Your soul is the only thing that matters in the end. You can get through anything if you have someone who loves you.
Also, I noticed that Jenna is really thinking hard on this idea that it isn't her in the home videos. I know that she had brain damage due to what has happened in the accident, but she would recognize herself in the home videos. The thing that is really important that no one has told Jenna is; what happened before she went into a coma? Jenna Fox has been given home movies chronicling her entire life, which spark memories to the surface. The question is, are the memories really hers? Another question that remains mysterious to me is why won't anyone in her family talk about her accident? These questions are also racing through her head, and she is becoming more curious. But I noticed that she is also afraid of what she might find out if she ever gets up the courage to ask her questions. The situation that Jenna is in is a really hard situation, and I feel bad for her. Personally, I would ask all the questions, because the mystery could get worse overtime.
In conclusion, even though I have just started The Adoration of Jenna Fox, a lot has happened and I already know a lot about Jenna Fox, the protagonist. I know a lot of traits of her, including that she trust people, and that she is a very curious person, but doesn't ask the questions. Also, I noticed that she has a lot of questions that she wants to ask, but she is too scared to do so. Finally, I know something mysterious is going on, and that a twist in the story is going to happen. I can't wait to read on and find out the answer to the mystery.
