Unseen

 A fat girl is listening to your conversation. She’s only five feet away. But you don’t notice her despite her big size. She’s hidden, she’s invisible. She’s Meghan Ball. She is the girl from Valley Regional High from the book looks by Madeleine George.

When unseen Meghan is less likely to be hurt. So there are no friends who may dump her later for their reputation. There are no boys bothering her and making her life miserable. There are no teachers who bother her with grades and homework. And there is no one who would notice and then make fun of her because of her big size. She would only have herself.

What first began as a happy girl who had her best friend, Cara, turned to a sad girl.  But that girl didn’t turn sad from one day to the other and without something for the cause of it.

It’s a real meanness for a girl to dump her best friend to make a better reputation. To choose a guy over her long best friend. To make up excuses to her every time. And after, to not even say a simple hello after seeing her in the hall.  And everything ends right there. The girl forgets her ex best friend. But the girl that was dumped will never forget her, no matter what.

It was done and it hurt. You don’t want to be hurt again.  The only thing you think of is being unseen.  There’s a shield protecting you from anyone. Not letting them get in. but it’s not strong enough. The little actions come through. Those little pieces make you hurt. But the shield is covering you and they can’t see you’re hurt.  

They know that you won’t stand up for yourself, that you are hidden only shielded by a thin shield. A broken shield. They take advantage of this. They hurt you in any possible way. You can see them through the holes but they can’t so they keep mistreating you. You don’t do anything; no one else does anything because you are unseen to them.

There’s someone you want to be with. You know she’s right for you. You watch her every day through the broken pieces of your shield. But you have to be seen to know her for she doesn’t see you. You put that shield under your bed and go confront her. You know her. You go back home and take the shield from under the bed. You ask her to share it. You both become invisible.

You both are unseen but happy. You have someone to share that shield with. But once in a while you have to shove that shield under your bed and be seen. It hurts more to be unseen than to be seen. Cause you have once been unseen and maybe you liked it or not but once in a while  its good. even thought that last time was a bad time, remember the ups.

looking at the cover and getting the plot

It’s almost impossible to get the plot of the story just by looking at its cover. Not looking on the blurb or the first page of the book. But from the picture you could get a whole lot. So the book that I could catch it from, is looks. The cover has a big O and a small O in the title looks. Inside the big O is an obese and big girl while in the small O there is a really skinny girl. There’s a reflection of both the girls.

I took some of my knowledge from people. This time obese people. I think the girl will feel insecure about her body and hide behind her layer of fats.  Took this from some books I read by Sarah Dessen about finding friends and getting confidence and sticking up for herself. This book could be a lot like the book I’m just going to start to read.  The two girls in the front could stick together and defeat whoever and whatever that stands from their happiness.

People hurt other people and bully them for being too skinny or too fat. And because the cover shows two opposite girls still they might have something in common. This book may revolve around one subject bullying and sticking up to it with the help of a friend. And already I know that I will be seeing a lot of depth and emotion in this book. Having to learn about a subject I love.

I can’t really say how it feels for people to criticize you for being too fat or too skinny because I have never been one or the other. But I feel like I’m the character, skin and bones or layers of fat, just by looking at the book, and better when ill finally read the book. I’m excited o come with a solution and make a new friend in the book. So the minute I finish this book I’m going to get real lost in the book.

What I didn’t notice before but just 10 seconds before I started writing this paragraph was the skinny’s girl hand gesture. She had her hands tied around her fragile body. Maybe just maybe there will be some problems with eating disorders in this book like in the book skinny. In fact this book could be of many problems revolving around one big problem.

I just hope I’m right from looking at the cover but soon about a minute I’ll find out. And maybe I’ll tell you if I was right. I might get a little piece right and the rest wrong but that’s okay because every noticer looks at things differently. next time you read a book look at the cover first and decide whether it was worth it. do it and tell me because i think its totally worth just taking a few minutes to look at the cover.
