13 Little Blue Envelopes Super Smart Note :)

In the novel “13 Little Blue Envelopes” by Maureen Johnson the main character, Virginia Blackstone or Ginny is ordered to travel all around the by her “dead aunt”.In 13 little envelopes Aunt Peg a set of instructions to complete a certain task that she gives Ginny. Throughout her experiences with these tasks and interaction with the other people that she meets we learn about her personality and why se reacts to certain situations. The first thing that Aunt Peg orders her to do is to buy a plane ticked to fly to England and that someone will guide her from there. When she got to the country a man named Richard welcomed her into her home, and after she had a little talk with him she went to sleep. The next day when she woke up she “looked around the room.” The though, “It was strange to be walking here- not only in a different country (different country…everyone and entire ocean away…she was not going to panic)” (37). This passage shows how Ginny is not care-free and easy going but she’s the kind of person who worries a lot and is easily scared. She is older so she should be mature but the way she is dramatic gives the reader a sence of immaturity in her character. When Johnson portrayes her as such an immature character it gives away her personality and In my opinion she has not experienced any life difficulties which makes her so juvenile. Ginny's way of over-reacting will make the book more interesting because it affects interactions with others, and the way she feels. It will drag and hold the reader in the story and make it a better reading experience.
