It's Kind of a Funny Story
By: Ned Vizzini
(p.228-303)
As Craig begins to warm up more to Six North, he finds that many people here are in for so many different reasons. The diversity really surprises him, but there is one person who sticks out to him. Noelle is a girl who is really attractive but became so sick of people liking her for that reason only that she got rid of her attractiveness by cutting her face repeatedly with scissors. Her and Craig become really close and he learns to see past her looks and actually really likes who she truly is. They have a really awkward communication at first, Noelle would leave him notes to meet her in certain places. Eventually, the meet in "the lower left of the H" every night at 6:55. Noelle had been in Six North for 21 days while Craig for only 4. They are both released on the same day, Thursday and they plan to get to know each other very well up until then. This situation is really east to relate to, because through all the diversity, a person always picks someone out who they see in a different way that everyone else sees them in. I believe that Craig and Noelle really have something going for them. Though most the people in Six North don't see each other after they are discharged, Noelle and Craig click so quickly and create a bond that will be seen even after the mental ward. They become each others Anchors and I look forward to continuing the book and seeing the bond between them flourish even more.
