Summary
Hanging with friends, watching movies, being with your best friend, and the girl you've liked for a while, but at also knowing that she's going out with your best friend, some other people who are just there, and sometimes some crack. That was Craig Gilner's life. He was depressed, went to the bathroom with the lights out and did nothing, and he didn't eat or sleep well. Unfortunately, it gets worse after he aces the entrance exam to Manhattan's Pre-professional High school and starts to go down in the difficult school life of extreme work. At one point he thinks about suicide. Though having to leave got to him, and so he looked up the suicide hot-line and went to the nearest hospital for "help".

"I click END. I think it's a little harsh how the END button is red" (Vizzini 134)
Reaction
After seeing trailers for this movie and finding out that it was a book that was turned into a film, I was so eager and excited to read the book. There were many funny things and many creative things like how Craig used to draw maps of what ever he wanted. Instead of drawing Manhattan, he drew his own dreamland. For this quote, i really like it because the color symbolism and the name of the button match well because the color red would mean death and the word end can mean the same thing.
