Making Connections: Just Listen by Sarah Dessen
Me and one of the character Whitney I would say have similar connections, because there was a point in time when I felt that I needed to be more skinner than I already am, because I wanted to better than the other girls size, and me and Whitney are also similar in some ways. One is that we are both a middle child and maybe this is a middle child thing or not, but I tend to isolate myself in my bedroom and not want to be bothered with others. Whitney in the story also was losing to much weight for her own good and did it because she wanted to get more jobs and because a thinner model. But Whitney had always had the body to be a model, because she was always the thin one in the family. And before when Whitney was still living in a family full household she always was quite and always isolated herself from others, she barley talked and was always going straight to her room to isolate herself from the rest of the members of the house. I also see myself as another character in the story Kristen who is the oldest. I see myself like her because she is always over dramatic and making a mountain out of a mo hill. When Whitney started staying with her because she needed a place to stay because Whitney was only 18 and needed a guidance, and later on throughout the months of them staying together Kristen notice that Whitney was way too skinny for her own good and she then informed her family on it, but they always knew Kristen to exaggerate. So they didn't think anything of its and it began to get worse so she called them again and then the mom talked to her but Whitney lied and said she was fine, when she wasn't and because she was always over reacting the family never really thought of it as anything serious, until they saw her when they were picking her and Kristen up from the airport.
Overall I see myself over dramatic a lot and at one point i did wish I was thinner than what I already was because I wanted to be the perfect size for a dancer, but the only difference is I never had a eating disorder. (I love food too much) But I learned quick that I was a already a great size for a dancer and for my age.
