Parrot in the Oven is a "coming of age" novel that basically concerns a young boy, "finding himself". Throughout our class discussions, essays, books and work we have been constantly asking oursleves, "who are we?" and "what impact do we have on this world?". These main questions tie in directly with the novel I read. The issues are not necessarily the same, but the overall goal and meaning of the book is understood.
By the main character being constantly tested whether it be by gangs, violence or just overall hard economic times this book asks, who do we want to become and what lessons can we learn from this boy's experiences? And that is essentially what we have been focusing on all year.
