Perfect Conflict/Resolution

Author's Note: This writing piece, is reflecting on, Perfects', conflict and resolution.  The book is written by Natasha Friend, and I would recommend the book to girls especially if you know someone with an eating disorder, which is what the whole book is about, it has a lot of wonderful tips to overcome eating disorders, finding the right kind of help, loving yourself once again, and helping others.  

In the novel, Perfect by Natasha Friend, the main character's name is, Isabelle.  Isabelle has an eating disorder which is called bulimia.  When Isabelle's sister ('Ape Face'), tells their mother that Isabelle was throwing up in the toilet after dinner, her mother immediately enrolls her for a special therapy class.  This is the main conflict.  Analyzing the conflict, bulimia is a serious thing, a few minor effects would include depression, fear of gaining weight, anxiety, dizziness, shame, and low self-esteem.  Bulimia is very serious, and until 'Ape Face' told on her, no one had even the slightness clue this is what she was up to, which I feel is very sad.  

            The resolution would be that Isabelle goes to the class and  the therapy class,which just happens to have Ashley Burnum in it, the most popular girl in school.  Once they bond through the class, Isabelle is being invited to have lunch with her and sleepover at her house.  Isabelle eats lunch with her and sleepovers at her house, and becomes best friends with her but, is starting to get grossed out with her always puking after they eat, which pushes Isabelle to stop being bulimic.  She tries to get Ashley to stop but, she won't and that ends their friendship.  Afterwards Isabelle didn't feel like she was losing anything but, she did feel bad that she couldn't help Ashley.
