Narration In Pursuance Of Books I Am the Cheese

But I keep pedaling, I keep pedaling...

A photograph of Robert Cormier will show you an old man with a kind face, who was born and grew up in a small town of Leominster in Massachusetts which he never left, who graduated from a private catholic school and wrote articles for the local newspaper.



It might be a surprise to learn that Cormier's novels are very bleak and pessimistic; concerned mostly with young protagonists and the pains of adolescence of growing up. Betrayals and conspiracies abound, secret societies full of violence and betrayals. No one is safe, and the good guys don't always win. Cormier's novels are unusually dark for fiction addressed towards a younger audience, so much that concerned individuals and institutions tried to ban them. In most of his works there's no hope or redemption at the end - perhaps Cormier's censors wanted to protect young minds from what they perceived to be unnecessary gloom. They underestimated writer who refused to back down and the intelligence of his audience. If they knew how truly cruel kids can be, their heads would explode.

I Am The Cheese is the story of Adam Farmer, a 14 year old boy who cycles from Monument, Massachusets to see his father at a hospital in Rutterburg, Vermont. It's a long trip, and unusually ominous; Adam is fearful as there always seems to be something waiting around the corner or behind his back. He carries a package which he must deliver to his father, but why is he alone on his trip? Why is he suspicious of everybody he meets? Why is his father in a hospital so far away?

Cormier's novel explores the themes of adolescence and alienation, with a brilliantly sinister twist. I was surprised at how ambiguous and dark the novel was, considering the audience it was aimed at - the feeling of confusion and helplessness and the fear of growing up. Most of us still can remember the time our trust in our friends was broken, and the realization that our parents aren't perfect and all-knowing as they once seemed. Children experience these emotions deeply and take them very seriously, but often do not let them out and keep them locked deep within themselves, and can relate to Adam and his struggles on his trip to Vermont.

I Am The Cheeseis a terrific novel both for children and adults. It's very quiet and subdued, turning up the suspense with a deliberate slowness, revealing its secrets one by one until they all come together at the end in a truly shocking (and brave) conclusion. I can't wait to read more works by Cormier - he was truly an excellent author and is now sadly missed by one more reader.

Write Up Based On Books I Am the Cheese

spoiler: THE CHEESE STANDS ALONE.

Reading this book was an incredibly strange experience for me. A copy of the book has lived in my classroom for years and it has been on my TBR for a long time. I'm not sure where I got the book. I've picked up books for my classroom in lots of places -yard sales, thrift stores, library sales, and I've bought quite a few new. This one has my name on it and it has been read before (I can tell from the spine), but that's all I know. It's not usually the type of book I'm interested in, but I

I am the Cheese by Robert Cormier was a fantastic book because it totally caught me off guard until the very end of the book. The reason was that Adam, the protagonist, tells a story while he rides a bicycle in a circle. Adam is mentally ill and is put in a facility because Adam knows something that the government doesn't want him to remember. As a result, the government drugs Adam in the hope of erasing his memories. The ending is very surprising, so i do not want to ruin the book. The title is

This book is about a boy named Adam who was going on a personal journey of finding his real identity. He lived happyliy with his family until one day he became suspicious of his parents and later on found out that his real name is Paul Delmonte. His family had being disguised since he was litte to avoid terrorists. Not long after he found the truth, his parents both died from a car accident and he lost his memory and had to stay in a hospital to recover. The book is really interesting because

This was definitely a book that I thoroughly enjoyed! It was engaging, unique, and a great experience to read. I think the title was slightly misleading since it sounds as if it would be something humorous and whimsical, which this book certainly is not. (view spoiler)[ Even though a reason for the title was given near the end, I still thought it wasn't the most accurate title to represent the events and emotion in the story. Still, that's just nitpicking. (hide spoiler)]It had some stylistic

I Am The Cheese is Robert Cormier's nightmare version of Peter & The Wolf - this Peter's feverishly pedalling a rickety bike across New England in the dead of night. Cormier's jagged narrative kicks up a hornet's nest of touchy topics like politics, religion and Freudian analysis.Several of the episodes in the book reminded me of recurring nightmares that I've had, so Mr. Cormier's novel, it can be said, crawled inside my head and stayed there for awhile. The controversial ending to I Am The

When I first saw this book, I thought it was strange book that no one would read and it was one of the books I just quotedumb but Robert Cormier, who describes the protagonist, Adam Farmer, and his epic journey to see his father in Rutterburg, Vermont creates this amazing book -- all in flashbacks. He tells the story of Adam as if he was telling it himself. Adam Farmer a normal kid in school, one day finds the need see his father in Rutterburg, Vermont. He abandons his mother and his precious
