William Seward was a Union College graduate who went on to law school and eventually became New York State Governor, a United States Senator and finally the United States Secretary of State under

I feel this way because the novel mentions major common events and themes that young adults are faced with on a daily basis. These themes include friendship, religion, and death. Friendship is widespread throughout this novel. This theme is most evident in the beginning; when Miles Halter (a.k.a. Pudge) comes to Culver Creek Preparatory
