Craig Thompson - Blankets Book Trailer

     I have never seen or heard of a book trailer before, but I am also very new to reading graphic novels. The book trailer shown here -- http://lauriespring15bloghub.blogspot.com -- Includes all of the main components of the book. I think it spoils the story a little bit by spoiling the plot, but perhaps it didn't spoil the main lesson to be learned -- That love can be a mystery, and sometimes, the best thing you can do is let it go. It was the right time for these two and everything seemed perfect. It was almost as though they could get married and run away, but living separate lives in separate places, the two decide to split. The love felt for Raina seemed to ignite fire in Craig. A fire whose hot air carried him gracefully home to his brother. The two become close again after separating, and Craig even becomes more social. He steps out of the cave of shadows and allows himself to be immersed in the bright light of life. He takes control of his life and thinks for his own, and today, he still does the same. This story has inspired me only to be myself, as Craig was, and also to read more books. 
     If I made a trailer for this book to encourage my peers to read, it would include how relatable it can be for the common person. Everybody is on their own journey, and this book is the story of one man as he grows up. I don't know what exactly I would do to portray this in a book trailer, but I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who struggles to let go of a past love. Some times its good to burn it all and start over, to touch the pen on a clean piece of paper, and carry on in time.
