Aleksandre Beridze – Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

This book is written by Jonathan Saffren Foer. The book is about a boy named Oskar. He died on September 11^th 2001. Oskar was sad after the attack. After two years he found a key in his dad’s closet and he found a letter that was sent by Mr. Black. He then started searching for Mr. Black. First he went to Aaron and Abby black. Aaron was living in an apartment. Abby Black lived in Greenwich Village. 

He took two hours and 23 minutes to walk there. When he arrived he was tired. He tried the key in the door, but again it didn’t work so he knocked on the door. A woman opened the door. She was beautiful like his mum. He asked about his dad and she said she didn’t know about his dad. He said: “May I come in?” 

The woman answered: “I don’t think I can help you.” After a few days he found out that Mr. Black lived one floor above him. He knocked on the door and asked: “Do u know my dad?” The old man said: “I don’t know anything about your dad, because I have not left this apartment since my wife died.” They became friends. The old man asked him to take his hearing aid out. He took it out and the old man screamed in fear as he was afraid of outside sounds. He calmed him down and left. They were good friends from that day forward.

What I learned from this book is to not chase after something that is gone.
