The book “She loves You Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” was written by Joyce Moyer Hostetter who is an American novelist and short story writer,this book narrates the story of a twelve year old girl that loves the Beatles, and she wants so much to watch the last show in the year of the band The Beatles, but first she needs to put something of her life in order. In the book Blue by Joyce Moyer Hostetter, Ann Fay’s family showed a lot of resistance, because they start being wanted by the Nazi, but they didn’t run away, they stay to fight and die for the World, Ann Fay discover a “big pandemic”, she was afraid, but stay stand up and never desist, to stay better of life and with mental health. Both characters are determined and are willing to fight for what they want, but they have different objectives, for example, Ann Hood for the end of the Polio and Trudy to show her father and school who she is.
Vietnam War rages overseas in 1966, the Beatles have catapulted to stardom, a twelve-year-old Rhode Island native Trudy Mixer is not thrilled with life, because her best friend, called Michelle, decide to become a cheerleader, and everyone of the school start calling her Gertrude (that is her real name), but she hate it. The Beatles fan club that she created, has dwindled down and stayed with only 3 other members, and they were the least popular kids at her school. At home, her father that works a lot became even more distant from Trudy, then their relationship started to decay. Ann Fay is a teenager that have a jewish family and she is too, her parents are resistance because they goes fight off Hitler and the Nazi, so Nazi people start going back they, but the family doesn’t desists to have a society and a world better. This happens when the father open the window of their house, but after sometime, the children and the mother tell he to close the window, and he don’t so the Nazi see them. Instead they run away, the family stay to fight Hitler, and try to be the “hero” of the jewish and of the world that isn’t in favor of Nazi.
When Ann’s father gets out of the house, the girl starts seeing the newspaper because she has nothing to do. She reads that her city is having an epidemic strike. Ann Fay reads each issue of the newspaper for the latest news of the epidemic. But soon she discovers for herself just how devastating polio can be, and this changes her life, because as her challenges grow, like the polio. In the tragedy, Ann Fay discovers her ability to don’t desist, have resistance and stay moving forward. She tries and explores a lot of things to stand up firm and strong. She finds her qualities of friendship and own faithfulness, to take care and love each other. Gertrude made a promise with herself, that she will be determined to regain her social status and prove her value to her father, but she realizes and remembers the most important and the biggest thing happening in all the world, The Beatles. She is set on seeing their final world tour in Boston at the end of the summer, and meeting her beloved Paul McCartney.
Both books have the separation of the fathers to the girls, and this affects their lives, because they do most of the things with her fathers, and without their support, the girls stay sad, and don’t know how to live life with no support.
So, with this we can notice the main idea and the themes of both stories, what the characters want, the narrator’s perspective, the author’s craft, etc. On “Blue” and “She Loves You Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” that the girls have father problems, and they want to show their personalities to have better communication with the parents, and in the school.
