Daphne de Vigan's No et Moi is a moving novel because it captures that golden space of time in childhood during which a guileless child, curious and optimistic, recognizes all that is flawed with the world and tries to change it.

The maxim that encapsulates most of the situations in No et Moi and the one that Lou struggles to defeat, is this: les choses sont ce qu’elles sont. Things are what they are. It radiates pessimism and the very fixedness that divides No and Lou and keeps Parisien streets dotted with SDFs. As Lou aptly and poetically puts it, Vocabulary sheets for chapters 1 to 20 with a link to the Quizlet course (I will soon add the other chapters too) When faced with an upcoming presentation for her social and economic sciences class, our young yet fiercely intelligent protagonist Lou decides to interview No, a homeless girl - or, as the French call it: une femme sans domicile fixé (SDF) - to discover what life on the streets entails.An article study on the social topic studied in the book to have a better understanding of the context Yet, for a while, they do. Needless to say, friendship is the most significant theme in the novel. Le Petit Prince is quoted several times as Vigan draws to our attention the story of the fox and the prince. An unlikely pair, but close friends nonetheless because each is unique to the other. Is it not the same with No and Lou? The title of the novel, No et Moi, mirrors No's claim that "on est ensemble, hein, Lou, en est ensemble." Yet their bond is cruelly challenged. Answer booklets for the last ten chapters (I will add the others progressively but the analysis answer most questions) No's problems do not dissolve even after she finds herself a social worker and temporary shelter. Forced to make a living, she dedicates herself to tireless working hours that eventually drive her over the edge and send her down the path of drink and smoke. Later, Lou finds No and tells her about the project, getting No’s blessing to share what they discuss. Over time, Lou learns about the reality of life for women who live on the streets: No explains that these women were often abused or lost their jobs. Speaking about this injustice, No tells Lou that she wants her presentation to spread this truth and create compassion for homeless women. No briefly delves into her own story, mentioning that she went into foster care at age twelve. It becomes immediately clear to Lou that the older girl does not have a good relationship with her family, but she does not learn much more, as No refuses to dwell on her life story. Lou and No arrange to meet again after the presentation is finished, so Lou can tell No about how it went.

On est capable d’ériger des gratte-ciel de six cents mètres de haut, de construire des hôtels sous-marins et des îles artificielles en forme de palmiers, (…) on est capable de créer des aspirateurs autonomes et des lampes qui s’allument toutes seules quand on rentre chez soi. On est capable de laisser des gens vivre au bord du périphérique. A major theme in the novel is therefore abandonnement. One could say that Lou was abandoned by her mother, who lost herself in her sea of grief. Lucas, Lou's classmate on whom she has a crush, is certainly left alone in an empty apartment while his mother wanders elsewhere. Finally, No herself has been abandoned by not only family and Loïc, but also society. and Lou tell each other that they are “together,” vowing to be loyal friends forever. No searches for jobs and eventually lands a spot as a hotel chambermaid. When Lou arrives home, she notices that her mother, Anouk, appears listless and detached, still suffering from the unexpected loss of Lou’s baby sister, Chloe, years before. After Chloe’s death, Anouk spent time in a psychiatric hospital while Lou attended a boarding school. Now that both have returned to Paris, Lou feels compelled to earn her mother’s affection and approval, but Anouk remains distant.
