* A broken heart feels like the worst thing in the whole world, but it really helps you to decide what you want and don’t want. You learn a lot from a broken heart.

 <<Jennifer Love Hewitt, american actress

    This quote relates to Looking For Alibrandi because, in the book Josephine becomes really good friends with a guy named John Barton. But Josephine begins to fall in love with John Barton and just as she begins to really like him he commited suicide. Before John commited suicide him and Josephine had decided to write all of the problems and plans for the future, on a seperate piece of paper. She gave him her piece of paper and he gave her his. Josephine had put the letter that John had given to her in her julery box. After he died she had read what he had written, she cried a little and than ripped it up and tossed the torn up pieces of paper out of the window.

Can you see what I see?

No I don’t think you can

I see images of nothing

and I attempt to make that

nothingness mean something

As hard as I try there is

still nothing and that nothing

is meaningless

I am somewhere else now, outside

I am surrounded by people and

the sky. I see the people and the

blueness of the sky

but still nothing has changed

everything remains the same

I am still alone.

 <<John Barton

    This quote relates to Looking For Alibrandi because, John Barton was a character in the book. He had commited suicide. I think that this quote means that their was nothing left for him to do on this world. Everything he wanted he got, all of his goals he had accomplished and now nothing....nothing at all for him to do! He was llike a statue just sitting their not doing anything....he had nothing to do. His dad had made John fufill all of his dreams when he was little and an onging teen. But now John had nothing to do so he was always bored.
