Summary and Review bp#2

The main character in this book is Anise. For her, life is difficult because she is battaling anoerexia in rehab, her brother is having issues with drugs and partying, and her parents...she can't stand them. The main idea of this book is that there is always a way to make yourself better, which Anise does acheive at the end after she meets her boyfriend body and has a role model teache. But before all that happened..... I feel as if Anise thinks that her life is worth nothing and she doesn't believe in the ability to recover from it. I can connect to Anise on a personal level because she has a lot of pressures in her teenage life and she can't figure a way out, yet the difference is that I have support from my family and my friends, whereas Anise is a cast-out and deals with her problems by cutting herself.

A Good Book Has No Ending ~ Response

" A good book has no ending ~ R.D Cummings" I believe this quote to be true because when you truly read a magnificent book you can be captivated by the characters and you feel what they feel, and feel as if their problems are your own. When finished, you don't simply forget the characters, you remember the connections you made or the predictions that you made in your mind. For me, a good book will make me see the words come alive in my mind as if I was watching a movie, therefore, the movie will continue in my head and will truly never, ever, die off as I have figuratively fallen in love with the book. some other things that could influnce me remembering it are the way the author can describe things like scenery and just transport you to be where the character is.
