The Future Of Us

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!!!

In the story The Future Of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler two teens in 1996 stumble across Facebook. They find their future profiles and notice that every little thing they do can effect their future. The main characters, Josh and Emma, by the end of the book find themselves falling for each other. I think the theme of the book is that sometimes the people who are most important to you are right in front of you.

I think that the theme of the book is that sometimes the people who are most important to you are right in front of you. For example, Josh and Emma had been best friends for years, but when the find themselves on Facebook looking at their future selves they start to like each other. They'd been right in front of each other and had never noticed their feelings for each other until then. That is one example of the theme of the story.

Another example that the theme of the story is sometimes the people who are most important to you are right in front of you is when Emma's mom started dating again. Emma and her mom had always been close. But Emma didn't realize just how important her mom was to her until her mom started dating this guy Martin. At first Emma wasn't happy about it. She and her mom drifted further apart. When Emma learned to except her mom dating Martin they got closer again. Emma realized how important her mom was to her. That is another reason why the theme of the book is that sometimes the people who are most important to you are right in front of you.

In conclusion, that is why the theme of the book is that sometimes the people who are most important to you are right in front of you. I think that this theme applies well to real life because when you are upset or confused and need someone, the person that you need to talk too had been right in front of you this whole time.
