What Is Normal?

 

       While Reading the book Something Like Normal by Trish Doller it made me wonder, What is normal exactly? I think every person as an individual has their own definition and by extension their own personal normal. my normal is going through the same mundane activities I have been for 12 long years of school. I wake up, get dressed, brush my teeth, put my face on, get my butt to the bus stop and take a long noise filled ride to school. I go into the building and repeat the same thing class by class by class. obeying the bell ring by ring! then finally at the end of a long and rather boring day I get to get back on the noise filled bus and take the 30 minuet ride home. I tend to complained about how boring my life is but it is pretty exiting. I can relate to the main character Travis in that way. 
     
         Although this book was based on a fictional story it really showed the struggle that American Veterans face on their return home, while Travis was away in Afghanistan his girlfriend cheated on him. That however is not the saddest thing that happened to him. his best friend Charlie was shot in action by a member of the Taliban while on a routine mission. When Travis got back home he found out his father had an affair, his brother stole his girlfriend and he is haunted by nightmares of Charlie and Afghanistan. Travis can hardly sleep, but then he meet Harper and they fall in love which is a very sappy girly part of the book which I loved!

      This book also made me realize just how thankful I am for people like Travis. If it weren't for them our country would not be the same as it is today!
     
      I am very lucky to have men like this in my life and I am proud to know them. My boyfriend Cory is in the United States Marine Corps and his grandfather was in the Marines ass well. My Great Grad Father Pappy! was a fighter pilot in WWII. Thank you Grand Pa Thank you!! To you all!
