I am reading the book Reasons to be Happy and I am starting to see the plot form by just a few lines in the text and I am starting to be able to start formatting very well structered predictions and ideas for the future og the book.
One line in the text that really develops the plot is "You just want to get rid of me! You hate me! You think im fat and ugly!" This quote really moves the story line along, before this point in the story Hannah is bolemic, and she still is in this part. The thing that makes this point in the story so important is that Hannah now thinks that her dad thinks she is ugly, this is meaning that she now has one more reason for her to be bolemic. Her dad doesnt know this but his actions are playing a very imporatnt role in her daughters life. Hannah believes that her dad thinks she is ugly and in order to make him happy she needs to be thin. This is not true. Not only is her dad always on her case but her friends are always teasing her as well.
I think in the future of this novel Hannah will talk to her dad about her problem and eventually try to take actions to fix it. This may be by getting a nre friend group, or going to a therapy class. But regardless of what she does I think she will take the right steps to solve this peoblem.
Reasons to be happy sounds like a really interesting and good book! I hope that Hannah confronts her dad about his opinion of her weight later on in the book. I'll have to read the book:)
