Hope Was Here ( Summary&Theme)


In my last blog about "Hope Was Here", I talk about the background of the 16 year old waitresses, Hope, and her aunt, Addie, which moved from Brooklyn to Wisconsin. So far the boss G.T. (Gabriel Tomas) runs for mayor. G.T. Addie has so far has tried so hard in the job she has changed some recipes in the restaurant and had amazed G.T. They soon get together and so does Hope and the cook, Eddie. First she rejected him because her mother always told her to not date the cook but then wanted to test it out. The book takes place in the present. What will happen to G.T. would he win the election? What will happen to the couples? What would happen to G.T cancer?


In my book "Hope Was Here" there is a lot of themes through the book but one them that really stood out was hope. I think its hope because in the beginning of the book she changes it to Symbolizes her positive outlook on life. I know this because in the book she says, "People expect thing from Hopes that they don't expect from Pattys and Lisas and Danielles. People expect hopes to be cheerful and positive". This proves why she choose to name her self Hope because in her life she proves endurance and she looks forward in her life when there is a difficult situation. This is the reason why I think the theme is hope in my book “ Hope Was Here”
