The genre is overall love, but there are also the topics of learning and lifeThe exposition: the characters in this book are infinite because this book is made up of short stories, poems, etc. so the characters are a many. The setting in this book differs from now to around the 50's. The problem also varies with this book having MANY problems resulting from the fact that there are many different stories in it.One of the characters is Tommy (from "Tell the World for Me") he is a young man who is in college and doesn't have much faith in God if any, but he later learns that his college bible teacher was right about God that is "...I am certain that God will find you..." he gets cancer and ends up passing away but he tells his teacher to tell the world what he learned. Another character is Kate (from "She Didn't Give Up on Me"), she just adopted a child who has never had someone to truly love her and keep her for more than a few months. Kate never gives up on her new little girl and teaches her that not everyone in the world gives up on people like her. One more character is Lia (from "Losing the `Us'"), her and her boyfriend just broke up and the break up not only was a social embarrassment but also is causing her stress. But Lia finds that she doesn't need her "ex" and just needs other things to take up the time in her life that used to be devoted to him.
All the characters in this book have motivations, considering the whole book is basically to motivate people-teens in specific. (From the characters above) Tommy is motivated by God and his college bible teacher. Kate is motivated by other people, who had adopted her new little girl, and Lia is motivated by her break up with her recent boyfriend and by the fact that she realized she didn't need him. There weren't really any weaknesses of this book, but much strength! The writing styles were all different because they were all written by different people but also the same because they are for the most part writing about personal life experiences. All the stories in this book defiantly follow the genre very well, as they do the topic "...for Teens...".
