Look Both Ways: Themes and Motifs

What is refreshing and beautiful about Look Both Ways is that it tackles the wild liminal space of middle school and early high school by honoring the humor, poetry, and kindness in life instead of dwelling only on pain. Young adult books can be notoriously depressing, so it is much appreciated that Reynolds balances laugh-out-loud funny scenes with poignant ones.

This leads to one of the messages of the book: Negative stereotypes surrounding middle school kids (especially Black and Brown students) ignore so much beauty, wit, and brilliance within these young people and their communities. Each of the ten stories in the collection highlights different forms of that power.

“Looking Both Ways”

The fundamental framework of “Look Both Ways” is the motif (recurring element) of… looking both ways. Now, the literal meaning of course is that all the kids in the story need to check both left and right before crossing each street for oncoming cars — a fact which becomes particularly important in the last chapter — but what is the figurative (metaphorical or symbolic) meaning of this “looking both ways?”

Figuratively, looking both ways is about seeing two (or more) sides of a person or situation. For example, a student who is seen as a “bad kid” or troublemaker is revealed to have a truly kind heart and ingenious mind, and a “crazy lady” ends up uttering one of the wisest questions of the book. The message? Everything and everyone has multiple facets, and it’s highly damaging to forget that.

Hope it helps :)
