Theme of Charlie St.Cloud

      I read pages 188-258. Charlie had another date with Tess, the ghost. When he woke up the next morning, there was a note from Tess saying good bye and that she wanted to stay, but couldn't because she was fading. She always told him to find her when he was ready. Charlie was very upset. He went with Tink to find Tess because he believed she was still alive. After searching for her body, they finally found her. He missed spending time with Sam to find her. Tess's body looked blue, they couldn't find her pulse and her pupils were pinpoint. Charlie and Tink brought her to the emergency room. Its been months and she is still in a coma. Charlie visited her very often and he talked to her and told her everything. He believed that even though she was in a coma she could hear him.
        The theme of this book is anything is possible. This is the theme because many miracles happened in this novel. For example, Charlie was brought to life, given another chance to live, that doesn't happen much. In addition, he was able to see his kid brother, Sam, who was dead. That is nearly impossible, to see ghosts. Lastly, he met Tess and saved her when she had already crossed over. He helped bring her back to life. Charlie believed anything was possible, he believed she was still out there and he was right. This is why anything is possible is the theme of Charlie St.Cloud.

Charlie St.Cloud

      I read pages 97-187. Charlie and Tess had an extraordinary time on their date. They never felt anything like it. The next morning Charlie found out that Tess had been missing for 36 hours. He wondered if she was dead when they were on their date, but she couldn't be she was too real and alive to be a ghost. Tess met Sam and finally understood that she was a ghost and died in her boat during the storm. Charlie realized that she really was dead on their date.
       If I had to chose one of the characters to be my friends I would chose Charlie. I choose Charlie because even though his brother died at a young age, he has a good personality. For example, he made all his mothers troubles go away , he loved his brother very much and was very smart, except for that one unforgettable day. As the text states, "Charlie erased her pain with those twinkling eyes and optimism. She had grown to depend on him as her angel, her messenger of hope, and he could do no wrong." This proves, he helped his mother with her troubles and protected her and his brother. As you can see, this is why I would like to have Charlie as my friend.
