Perfect or Not Perfect?

Perfect or Not Perfect?

Author's Note-- My 20th piece is my second literary analysis.  About a book I would recommended to all and rate 5 stars. I hope I've improved.  I've been working on writing a proficient conclusion, using AB transitions, and increasing my proficiency in sentence fluency.  If I do say so myself, I'm quite proud of this piece.  I bet I can recite this by heart now all the times I've re-read.  Thanks Mrs. Mundt for all your help.  I hope I give you all a better look upon bulimia.


Wouldn’t a book titled Perfect be about someone who’s oh I don’t know, what’s the word I’m looking for, oh ya PERFECT?  I stand corrected.  Perfect is a superb book.  It’s nowhere near being about a perfect human being.  Truly it’s about two flawless people who don’t know that they’re sublime.  It’s one of those books you want to jump in and scream, “YOU ARE PERFECT!” and have them do a double take.  In Perfect Natasha Friend, the author, perfectly captures the message of; going bulimic is not the road to take when tragedy hits.  

Just in case you don’t happen to be familiar with bulimia; it’s an eating disorder when people purposely make themselves throw up after eating.  One of the emotional effects of bulimia included in the book was putting yourself down ,but not putting yourself down is one of the steps to becoming perfect.  Isabelle, the main character was effected in this way by not feeling that she is worthy of living and she is against her look.  A few minor effects would include depression, fear of gaining weight, anxiety, dizziness, shame, and low self-esteem.  Visualize a minority of major emotional effects of bulimia. To believe this is the second most common eating disorder because of hopelessness, that’s heartbreaking. 

While still visualizing a minority of major emotional effects of bulimia, don’t over-look the physical effects of bulimia.  Very few of the physical effects of bulimia included blood in the puke, hair loss, dry skin, dental damage, organ damage, immune system damage, weak muscles, irregular heartbeat, problems with digestion, and decrease in body temperature.  In the book the second main character, Ashley is familiar to bleeding after vomiting.  Even writing this makes me nauseous.  So now let me ask you.  Why in the world would you think going to the extreme of becoming bulimic is the path to take? 

            Going bulimic is not the road to take when tragedy hits, Natasha Friend captured this message strikingly in Perfect.  This author, once wrote, “If you believe in something stand up for it even if everyone is sitting.”  That quote was stated by Trish and to me that reminds me of Rosa Parks not giving up her seat to a white person.  There's no right or wrong answers in belief, which is the point Natasha is trying to get across in Perfect.
