A Long Way Down 1

I have just begun reading A Long Way Down. This far into the novel, I have noticed that this novel relates to the movie, The Breakfast Club. In the book, the four main characters think that their lives have come to nothing. They are arguing and assuming that they have nothing in common with one another. They seem to look by the fact that they are all standing on top of a building trying to commit suicide. In The Breakfast Club, the characters are also said to have nothing in common, but they are all in Saturday detention together. In the end, they come to the conclusion that their lives are not as far apart as they thought. And they actually realized each others' problems were worse than their own individual issues. I predict that this same ending may occur in A Long Way Down. Maybe they will start to understand that they should not be feeling bad for themselves, because there are people out there going through much worse. They might also discover that their lives are truly worth living.
