Theodore Decker wants to get the painting back.

It is the last
piece of his mom that he has left. So he gets Boris’s help to try and
get it back. Then, everything is back to how it was, but now with
even more anxiety, trauma, drugs, a cheating soon-to-be-wife, and an
actual painting and not just some switched out textbook.

“You can look at a picture

for a week and never
think of it again. You can
also look at a picture for a
second and think of it all
your life.” (91, Tartt)
"I had the epiphany
that laughter was light,
and light was laughter,
and that this was the
secret of the
universe."(771, Tartt)
The Goldfinch
By: Donna Tartt This is the Goldfinch. It
was painted by Carel
Fabritius in 1654. People
say he has a very unique
style. His paintings were
all full of color and very
clever lighting.

I really enjoyed reading this book.

1. How would have Theo’s life
been if he hadn't went to New
York, staying with Boris?
2. What would Theo’s life been like
if he hadn’t met Boris at all!?
3. What would the story be like if it
was from Boris’s POV?
There were some phrases and words I did
not understand. But still, this book is
written beautifully with lots of meaning.
No movie could capture the feeling that I
had when reading this book. I do not have
any complaints besides some of the
wording that I did not understand, which
is on me. I would definitely recommend
for other Adults that are looking for
something longer to read, but for kids,
don't read until you are at least 15 years
old.
