“The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole” is a realistic novel because it is written in the form of a diary. It exudes with humor and readers are really amused.
The theme of this confessional novel are problems encountered by the young man in puberty, and his transition from childhood to adulthood. Adrian is faced with many dilemmas, feelings, enthusiasms and disappointments, as he slowly creates its own identity.
The novel gained popularity mainly because the image of Adrian is something all of his peers can relate to. Readers will come across problems that they had growing up. But no one will be troubled by them because Adrian described everything in a very fun and humorous way.
From Adrian’s writing, we can learn a lot about how a middle-class family lived in England, in the 1980s. He touched an unemployment, family disintegration, and economic uncertainty.
The thirteen years old boy Adrian Mole decided to write a journal and when he saw a TV show from the writer Malcolm Muggeridge he decided to send his poems to him. Adrian thought of himself as an intellectual because he understood every word on the show.
Soon after sending the poems he got a reply. His poems were declined, but John Tydeman told him to keep on trying because he is going to get many more negative answers before he gets something published.
Adrian was in puberty and had a slight problem with pimples and he was a bit chubby. His parents were always fighting. His family was thrilled when he got a response for his poems. He wrote that down in his journal besides the fact that he would sometimes read his poems in school hoping that one of the teachers will ask him what is he reading and give him a feedback on his poems. Unfortunately that never happened.
