ella empieza a experimentar culpa y por eso busca la forma de afrontar las cosas como ella mejor puede. The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a coming-of-age teen novel by Emily M. Danforth published in 2012. The novel's protagonist is Cameron Post, a 12-year-old Montana girl who is discovering her own homosexuality. After her parents die in a car crash, she lives with her conservative aunt and her grandmother. When the romantic relationship she develops with her best friend is discovered she is sent to a conversion camp. I made the mistake of watching the movie before I read the book. Normally, I always prefer the book. In this case, I really enjoyed the things that "were not said" in the movie - the actors were able to convey with facial expressions and their body language what they dared not say out loud. In comparison, the book is quite "chatty". Cameron Post, in the book, comes across as naive but sexually curious, whereas Chloe Grace Moretz, in the movie, portrayed Cameron as a typical young teen who just wanted to blend in with the rest of the crowd, while still maintaining her sexual identity.

We understand, sweetheart," Mrs. Klauson would tell me over the phone. I guess the "we" she was speaking of included Irene, but maybe she meant Mr. Klauson. "We're not going to stop trying though, okay, Cam?" There's a lot about this book that shines, honestly. Danforth's characterization is consistent and multidimensional; Cameron is a believable protagonist, unsure of herself but wanting to be, and with a strong internal voice. This strength of characterization applies across the board. The antagonists are as believable and complex as they are terrifying; I feel as if I know Aunt Ruth, and she terrifies me with her odd blend of well-intentioned homophobia. I also appreciated the gorgeous depictions of the Montana setting. I also actually think the conversion therapy section does a fairly good job skirting away from being torture porn; it has a clear point at all times. No acababa de encontrar en la narración de Cameron algo que me hiciera que me atrapara y quisiera saber más de su vida en Miles Town y sus problemas. Los personajes secundarios, aunque bien dibujados tampoco me despertaron mucho interés, pero Now living with her conservative Aunt in small-town Montana, hiding her sexuality and blending in becomes second nature to Cameron until she begins an intense friendship with the beautiful Coley Taylor. Las situaciones están bien descritas, pero no se me hicieron interesantes o amenas de explorar. Sentía que la narración de Cameron era una adulta hablando como una niña. Hay un punto de religión muy importante en la historia y creo que está bien tratado. Pasé el punto en el que pasan los años y estamos en 1991, pero las cosas no habían cambiado mucho, mi implicación con la novela aún no aparecía y no sentí un impulso significativo para seguir con la historia.What is the movie's ultimate message about sexual identity? Is the movie's ending hopeful? Downbeat? Mixed? If it's a mix of both, how does the movie achieve this? La novela empezó francamente bien. Conocemos a Cameron, su entorno familiar y el inicio del verano de 1989 junto a su amiga Irene. Ella va descubriendo cosas sobre su propia sexualidad que la hacen sentirse rara y algo ansiosa. The Miseducation of Cameron Post by emily danforth is a novel I've been meaning to read for a long time - a very long time. It went onto my TBR even before it was released because of the acclaim it received and, even after winning an award, it went unread on my Kindle. I don't know why. It I grinned a big grin, a grin that would have embarrassed me, I know, if someone had shown me a mirror right then. emily m. danforth's first novel--The Miseducation of Cameron Post-- is a coming of GAYge story set largely in Miles City, Montana, the cattle ranching town where she was born and raised. It was made into a feature film of the same name in 2018.

This is by far the best book I have ever read on Christianity and homosexuality. I was thoroughly impressed with how the author handled this very touchy subject. There is no moral of the story crammed down your throat, no secret agenda. It's a story of a girl dealing with the loss of her parents while on the brink of womanhood, and it is told beautifully, honestly, and lovingly. Families can talk about how The Miseducation of Cameron Post depicts sex. Is there any judgment around sexual identity or gender? Does it matter that Cameron has more than one partner? Later, Cameron asks Jane if all the kids were high, and learns that Jane is the source of the pot. Jane, Adam, and Cameron will soon start hanging out together during their free time. Continue reading.The antagonists aren't painted as two-dimensional villains - they are real people raised in a society that teaches them that homosexuality is wrong and they genuinely believe that they are helping these kids by teaching them to follow God. And there's something so unabashedly honest about that. This book is about accepting your self just the way you are, even when you're a lesbian. But Cameron lives with her conservative and religious (I must say) aunt Ruth who immediately sent her to Christian School & Center for Healing called God's Promise when she found out about her preference in love life. I personally against this kind of healing. Because this is how God has made us. There's nothing to change. Just be good with who you are and other people and that should be enough. The night Cameron Post's parents died, her first emotion was relief. Relief they would never know that hours earlier, she'd been kissing a girl. It’s supposed to convince you that you’re always gonna be a dirty sinner and that it’s completely your fault because you’re not trying hard enough to change yourself.” It was the kind of heat where a breeze feels like someone's venting a dryer over the town, whipping dust and making the cottonseeds from the big cottonwoods float across a wide blue sky and collect in soft tufts on neighborhood lawns. Irene and I called it summer snow, and sometimes we'd squint into the dry glare and try to catch cotton on our tongues.
