For example, Foer took up 20 pages with just one sentence on each. I also loved the way Foer designed his pages. The first page was a picture of a doorknob, which I later learned was significant in understanding part of the story. Foer also includes pictures that serve as clues. I loved reading this book because Foer’s writing style is captivating and full of hidden clues. Now I understand that sometimes when people grieve someone’s death, they often wonder what they would do in that situation. For example, Foer wrote a whole page dedicated to Oskar wondering whether he would have jumped from the World Trade Center building or ran down the stairs burning. I think Foer did an amazing job tackling this topic because he didn’t hold back, which showed me real human emotions. When my teacher first recommended this book, I thought it was just a sad book about 9/11, but it has an inspiring ending and a happy outlook on remembering those who have passed away. Oskar tries to find closure as he goes on a quest to find the lock that fits the key. One day, he accidentally knocks over a vase on the top of his father’s closet and finds a key inside it. After the attacks, Oskar often walked around his father’s bedroom to remember what the room looked like before everything was packed up in boxes. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer is about a 9-year-old boy named Oskar Schell whose father died in the September 11th attacks in New York.
