Connection between my novel and MSND.

The connection I am making between my book King of the Screwups and A Midsummer Night’s Dream is Lysander and Liam are both very determined to get what they want. Liam is determined to become friends with the weirdest girl in his school and become unpopular so he can impress his dad and make him proud. Lysander disobeys his parents to meet Hermia so he can marry the love of his life. Liam’s dad got tired of his foolishness and need for popularity so he sent him away to temporarily live with his uncle. Liam want to make his dad proud so he tries to become unpopular at his new school but no matter what he does he just gains more popularity and the girl he wants to become friends with hates him even more each time. First, Liam tries to get good grades and he has great participation in class with no problems, except for the fact that everything he says is wrong. Darleen, the “nerdy” girl Liam wants to befriend, thinks he’s mocking her and she ignores him. Next Liam tries to dress opposite of his usual high quality fashion but no one seems to care or notice and some actually compliment his new sense of style. Lastly, he tries to join an academic club but he’s not smart enough to join anything that will make him less popular. This is until he finds out about the AP club that do the morning announcements. Liam thinks he finally found something that will make him seem like a loser but when he does the announcements as bad as he could everyone loves him and they think he was hilarious. This is, except for Darleen. She is mad at him because she takes the morning announcements very seriously. He is getting pretty frustrated by this time but he never gives up. Liam shows so much determination to impress his dad just like Lysander is so determined to marry Hermia. Lysander knows that if he fails to succeed he could end up with serious consequences for himself and Hermia but his doesn't keep him from going for what he really wants. Lysander wants Hermia to be his forever but her parents want her to marry Demetrius. Hermia doesn't care for Demetrius so she and Lysander makes plans to wed outside of Athens because there the law won’t matter and they won’t be prosecuted.
