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?

You Shouldn't Wish
Have you ever made a stupid wish? I know I have. You shouldn’t wish. When you don’t believe your wish will come true, naturally it will. Don’t make a wish just to hope. Wish something that’s crazy and that hasn’t and won’t happen on its own. “ This book seems to prove that you shouldn’t wish for something stupid. You Wish” by Mandy Hubbard is one of the best books I've ever read. I would suggest, "You Wish" to anyone who loves to read and wants a cliff-hanger kind of book. How would the life of Kayla change if she were to not make the stupid wish on her birthday cake?
If you wish it will either come true at the right time and the right place, if it’s a wish that means something. Or at the wrong time and the wrong place, if it’s a wish that means zilch. What does wrong place wrong time mean to you? To me it means that if you wish upon a star to many times for something that doesn’t matter, and it something that’ll happen on its own. It’ll come about to bite you in the in the rear. To Kayla it means that if you make a brainless wish just to hope, nothing will go your way until you correct your ways. Kayla and I are on the same page about it because, I can relate.
While thinking about what, incorrect place incorrect time means to you, don’t overlook that one perfect thing waiting to happen later in life following a week jam-packed of no sleep. This book is just like my life. After karma comes around and you change your ways karma will make that dream that was too foolish to wish for come true. In the book, You Wish there is a single thing great thing that is waiting to happen to turn things upside down. She got that one awesome wish (Ben kissing her). Even though she feared that her friendship with Nichole was wrecked forever, they became closer friends.
While wondering about why something good comes out of something terrible, consider how many others can relate. It seems that my life is just like hers. Her two weeks full of bad wishes happening at the wrong time and wrong place. For me none of my wishes are coming true. To add I haven’t seen my best friend in three months and one word love. Two words actually, love stinks. Eventually she got her good and I’m waiting for mine.
Day-dreaming about all this wrong place wrong point in time. Imagining if your someone who can relate. Shouldn’t you be thinking, you can wish to be her? Truth is you are her. I'm her because, wishes do come true. You just have to wait for the true place and the true moment. How would the life of Kayla change if she were to not make the stupid wish on her birthday cake? I think it would've only made her life worst, what do you think?
