Representaion As Books The Burn Journals

I don’t want to get out of bed.
I’m so stupid.
I did so many things wrong.
I don’t know what to do.
I’m going to be in so much trouble.
What am I going to do?
I’m completely screwed.

In 1991, fourteen-year-old Brent Runyon came home from school, doused his bathrobe in gasoline, put it on, and lit a match.

He suffered third-degree burns over 85% of his body and spent the next year recovering in hospitals and rehab facilities. During that year of physical recovery, Runyon began to question what he’d done, undertaking the complicated journey from near-death back to high school, and from suicide back to the emotional mainstream of life.

In the tradition of Running with Scissors and Girl, Interrupted, The Burn Journals is a truly remarkable book about teenage despair and recovery.

Evaluate Out Of Books The Burn Journals

Burn journals by Brent Runyon auto biographyThe burn journals was a great book, it showed me that reading is actually nice. Before this book I hated reading and got put into a reading class at school. My English teacher and my reading teacher were talking about this and it caught my attention. This book is about a young boy who is extremely sad and tries to attempt many suicides but he would either stand up before he would pass out or he wouldnt cut himself deep enough. One day his friends had

I finished the book!!!! It tells Brent's experience after his "accident" and I find it very fascinating to know what he went through and how strong of a person he became. At the end I wish it would have told a little bit more about his first day back at school but I was glad it ended in a good note and also with an event that was the goal throughout the book. After reading this book I realized a lot about the world and how sometimes people that seem happy, may not be. While reading I wondered

Hey presto! A novel that actually made me feel something for a situation described through text for the first time in months!Often my choices in subject matter tend to be a bit morbid and depressing and long-ago the shock-value of anything even highly grotesque or gruesome or heart-wrenching seemed to have worn off on me. But 'The Burn Journals' finally broke that streak. When Runyon describes the way in which (view spoiler)[he dresses in his bathrobe and douses himself in gasoline before

This book talks about serious issues that goes through some teenagers minds daily. It starts with 14 year old Brent Runyon struggling to get out of bed to get ready for the day. Normal teenager tasks. But as the book progresses, into the next few pages he starts having suicidal thoughts. It seems like it's a normal occurrence for him. Brent was kind of like the class clown. He didn't really care about many things, and whether he knew it or not he was severely depressed. An incident happened at

So hard to review.....This is a true story so I tried so very hard to feel for brent. Brent set himself on fire at 14 and suffered 85% burns. I dont know what I was hoping to get from this, but anger wasnt it.Brent set himself on fire at 14 as a suicide attempt (his 3rd attempt). I was expecting emotional torment followed by something like inspirational ending. What I got was a boy who had no idea why he set himself on fire but feels as though he was owed something for it.He showed NO regret nor

I think the authors purpose of writing this story is to help explain what stressed teens go through or how suicide can be a big deal towards teens. to inform the readers about suicide awareness, or even persuade them into knowing that maybe we can do things to stop suicidal thoughts towards themselves. Everyone has their own purpose of doing things. And this Author chose to express is in his book. The theme I got from the book when reading it was that accepting who you are is part of growing

I have to admit, I read this as soon as I got home (took me about and hour and a bit, I think). I liked it a lot. It was gritty, genuine and thought provoking.I read some reviews on Amazon.com and some people were bitching about the writing style, and the fact that Brent post-burns was still OMG! a real person who got pissed off, disliked people and actually thought about sex and girls. To me, this is stupid. I mean, think of the situation. You're a fourteen and a half year old male who has been
