Abstract:
My project is a Pinterest board created to bring a book to life. I decided to read a book from the 1980s called "P.S. I Still Love You" by Barbra P. Conklin. I have always loved reading romance novels and since the year that we were focusing on this semester was the 1980s, I thought what better way to really show what the 1980s was all about than a cheesy, teen, love story, but instead of a movie I decided to read a book. I wanted to bring the book to life by going on Pinterest and creating a board that shows that. I picked out who the main characters would be/look like, I picked what there houses would look like, and I showed what the places they went to looked like also. Every detail of the book that could have been brought to life, I put in the Pinterest board.
