That alone should be worth a poem or two.” The Sun Is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon “The sun is also a star, and it’s our most important one.

These characters reflect the dilemmas of most teenagers. They confronted their challenges and steered the course of their lives. Both these characters are so young, yet so inspiring and intense. Amidst all the chaos of their life, Natasha is practical, while Daniel is full of hope. The protagonists, Natasha and Daniel, are so complex to understand. The author has brilliantly crafted the characters. The themes of identity and belonging play a significant role in the plot. It has young adult protagonists, first-person narration, coming-of-age issues relevant to young adults, and a storyline that teenagers willingly choose to read. The Sun Is Also A Star is an incredible book with all the necessary elements of contemporary fiction for young adults. Meanwhile, they must decide whether they can take care of their immediate responsibilities. He persuades her to try to see whether they can fall in love scientifically by answering a string of questions. She believes in science and facts, while he believes in love. But as Natasha desperately attempts to keep her family legally in America, she bumps into Daniel again and again, and he’s immediately attracted to her. On the other hand, we come across Korean-American Daniel Bae, who wants to be a poet but feels forced to make his parents happy and attends a college interview for Yale. Jamaican-American Natasha Kingsley is the female protagonist and has 24 hours until her family of four is deported to their native Jamaica. (The highlight of the film was Daniel’s two-to-three-minute primer on the historical and socioeconomic reasons why Koreans control more than 65 percent of the African American hair care products business.It is a fascinating tale of two teens who meet and spend twelve fateful hours together in New York City. But, even so, the city is presented without edge and with very little tension-most of that coming from the pair’s visit to Daniel’s parents’ wig and hair care supply store in Harlem. What the film does have is a director, Ry Russo-Young (2017’s Before I Fall), who has an inherent feel for the city and its rhythms-especially the semi-narcotic way people experience it today with a soundtrack from their Beats headphones.

Starring: Yara Shahidi, Charles Melton, Jake Choi, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Keong Sim and John Leguizamo Written by: Tracy Oliver (screenplay) and Nicola Yoon (book) This is a movie that talks endlessly about emotion but displays none of it-and the same can be said for all that destiny chatter. Nor could the circumstances that keep throwing them together feel more contrived. We are told again and again that both protagonists have urgent, life-shaping matters to attend to, but-as portrayed on screen-the stakes couldn’t feel less consequential. Not that the film gives them much to work with.
