The quote I chose is from Alice Oseman’s “Radio Silence”
Radio Silence is told from the main character France’s perspective. Frances is a studying machine with one goal. Nothing will stand in her way to get what she strives to achieve, not friends, not secrets of guilt, not even the person she really is on the inside. Until she meets a boy named Aled.
“I had work to do when I got home. I almost always had work to do when I got home. I almost always did work when I got home becaue whenever I wasnt doing schoolwork I felt like I was wasting my time” (Pg 21)
I choose this quote because you can really see that although doing schoolwork is beneficial to her school life France’s doesn’t actually have any real hobbies in her real life, she wants to go out have fun, and live life before university hits her. It’s just really sad to see her prioritize school over her whole life.
