Love, a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Love at first sight between a Jewish refugee and a Catholic American, a love that cannot be because of a fence, a love so strong that it will live no matter what. I applaud Bat-Ami on her work in this book. The character development, plot and quality were amazing. This book leaves you wondering what will happen next but in a good way, its almost impossible to put it down.
This book has an amazing plot that is well thought out and very well written. She uses good adjectives to describe every scene. From a description of an event, “In the sky was the shining moon which appeared orange because of the suns reflection shining.” (39) to the way someone looks at another “I turned to face her again. She seemed so unhappy- unhappy and uncertain as if she thought what he said might really be true” (200).
Along with good descriptions Bat-Ami uses many literary elements. All of which accent the book and make it even more attractive. Bat-Ami knows just when to use her literary elements so they go with the book and the time instead of just being thrown in without a purpose. She illustrates personification,”The smell of American French Fries made my stomach roll.” (200) similes, “Mr. Richards dog was as thin and bony as he was…”(25) and metaphors “We were a regular Western Union Office…”(208) very well.
Overall, the strongest lesson learned in this book is that true love can overcome anything. Although you may be trapped behind a fence true love can exist between the wires. I think this lesson is displayed perfectly because Chris will do anything to be with Adam including lying and getting beaten. This shows that no matter what, if true love is there it will live no matter what obstacles it has to face in order to succeed.
In conclusion, Two Suns In The Sky was a touching book with good
