Description Toward Books I Am the Cheese

But I keep pedaling, I keep pedaling... A photograph of Robert Cormier will show you an old man with a kind face, who was born and grew up in a small town of Leominster in Massachusetts which he never left, who graduated from a private catholic school and wrote articles for the local newspaper. It might be a surprise to learn that Cormier's novels are very bleak and pessimistic; concerned mostly with young protagonists and the pains of adolescence of growing up. Betrayals and conspiracies abound, secret societies full of violence and betrayals. No one is safe, and the good guys don't always win. Cormier's novels are unusually dark for fiction addressed towards a younger audience, so much that concerned individuals and institutions tried to ban them. In most of his works there's no hope or redemption at the end - perhaps Cormier's censors wanted to protect young minds from what they perceived to be unnecessary gloom. They underestimated writer who refused to back down and the intelligence of his audience. If they knew how truly cruel kids can be, their heads would explode. I Am The Cheese is the story of Adam Farmer, a 14 year old boy who cycles from Monument, Massachusets to see his father at a hospital in Rutterburg, Vermont. It's a long trip, and unusually ominous; Adam is fearful as there always seems to be something waiting around the corner or behind his back. He carries a package which he must deliver to his father, but why is he alone on his trip? Why is he suspicious of everybody he meets? Why is his father in a hospital so far away? Cormier's novel explores the themes of adolescence and alienation, with a brilliantly sinister twist. I was surprised at how ambiguous and dark the novel was, considering the audience it was aimed at - the feeling of confusion and helplessness and the fear of growing up. Most of us still can remember the time our trust in our friends was broken, and the realization that our parents aren't perfect and all-knowing as they once seemed. Children experience these emotions deeply and take them very seriously, but often do not let them out and keep them locked deep within themselves, and can relate to Adam and his struggles on his trip to Vermont. I Am The Cheeseis a terrific novel both for children and adults. It's very quiet and subdued, turning up the suspense with a deliberate slowness, revealing its secrets one by one until they all come together at the end in a truly shocking (and brave) conclusion. I can't wait to read more works by Cormier - he was truly an excellent author and is now sadly missed by one more reader.

Commentary Of Books I Am the Cheese

He was intrigued by the power of words, not the literary words that filled the books in the library but the sharp, staccato words that went into the writing of news stories. Words that went for the jugular. Active verbs that danced and raced on the page.

I bought this young adult novel when I was a second- or third-year undergraduate student at university (the book was sold in the college bookshop as it was apparently used as a case study text on a course there). One of the two primary reasons why I bought it at the time was that I had enjoyed reading the same authors book, The Chocolate War, when I was 11 years old and had wanted to read more books by him. However, for some reason, I dont think I saw any of his other books in the local bookshop

WHOLE CLASS READINGAdam's whole life is like a maze. He remembers when his life was happy and normal. But a mysterious man, Mr. Grey, controls everything in his family's life, and the implications are sinister. Adam embarks on a bicycle quest, pedaling to find his dad. as he does, he starts remembering, and then things come crashing down. This book is certainly smart. It's mostly psychological and requires the reader to keep up and pay attention. that said, I found it to be disappointing.

After recently discovering the work of Robert Cormier, I decided to come back for more. This is another wonderfully-crafted novel in which Cormier shows his versatility and ability to entertain readers of all ages. Adam Farmer is on a mission to see his father, a trip 70 miles across three states. He is ready to make the trek entirely by bicycle, leering of hitchhiking along highways he does not know. As he ventures out, Adam thinks back to some of his fondest memories as a child, as well as the
