So the conflicts that she deals with are her self, because she is anorexic plus the cutting of her self. The second conflict is with her and her brother, Marcel was there for her from the binging as a brother and a friend because he was the only thing she had at the orphanage. But when his drinking problem started she felt like he needs her now. So she new that she had to get well and that it was her turn to be there for him. And the last conflict is between her and her real family. There is not a lot to tell about this last conflict because she does not talk about them that much, but the one think that she does say about them is that "she does not get along with her real family." So the major issue was that she needed to get well and start eating because that was her number one problem and then she needed to stop cutting her self. So after all that happened she got to go home, and help out her brother now.
Question:
How would you deal with this problems/conflicts? And what would you do differently if you were Anise.
If I was Anise I would do exactly what she was doing by the end of this novel. She was trying to get better to help her brother which was the right thing to do. If I were her I would also get some help, like see someone to talk to about her problems. I feel like that could really help her with her other conflicts like her family and cutting herself. Although she was already doing other things like eating and focusing on her bother, I feel like if she had someone to talk to through the process of helping her brother it would help her stay sane and encourage her more to do better for herself and him.
ReplyDeleteYea I totally agree with you. I would probably do the same think too if I was her.
ReplyDeleteIf I was Anise I would try to help my brother, but get help first from someone else who I trust like a counselor or a teacher so that I would be fit to help him and not just someone with problems of my own, that way I'd be healthier and more able to help.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Vanessa comment too , If I were in Anise shoes I would do the same thing and help my brother get better but also focus on myself and not put to much stress on myself as well because trying to help someone get over there bad habits are hard and especially when your not 100% better it could be hard on your self.

ReplyDeleteIf I were Anise, I would give advice to my brother by not spending his money on drinking and try to find someone that will give him advice and the courage to follow a greater path.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what caused Anise to start cutting but she should not cut because of her real family or orphanage. Instead of cutting, she should ask her brother(s) or close friend(s) for advice. Anise could also have a talk with her real parents so that they can get along and become a happy institution for her Brother and herself.
I feel that Anise was and maybe still is going through a very rough time with her own problems, but because her brother now needs her she feels that she needs to be there for him. If i were her i would encourage myself to get better before even trying to help my brother. Not because i am being selfish but because i want to make sure i can push myself to do better, to help him realize he can overcome his drinking problem as i am overcoming my own problem. I agree with Vanessa's comment when she said that she should talk to someone while going through all this, because it will relieve her, and know that someone is there when she feels like she can't do it anymore.
