My Adolescent Novel

My adult novel would be focused around and adolescent growing up in a small down and then moving to a larger city. The title would be More Cows than People because in the town that where said adolescent grew up in there were far more cows than there were people. I would discuss how much of a struggle it was to move to a completely different place than where that adolescent grew up. This could be similar to Sherman Alexie’s novel in the ways that Junior was ostracized for being different and I feel that I could tie it into my own experience as an adolescent and make it somewhat autobiographical. I feel that this is a universalized feeling because many times people go through moving from one place to another and things that they once cherished can be seen as irrelevant in the new situation and vice versa. However I would also write about the fact that the adolescent realizes that this was ultimately the best thing that could have ever happened because they would have been a completely different person if they had stayed in the small town. It would definitely be an innocence to experience themed novel. Even though there are probably many adolescent novels that are similar to this I would still want to write it anyways maybe I could offer up something to the adolescent literature world that would be worth reading and one day read in a classroom, if not then well at least I had fun writing it!
