Summary Of Beautiful Disaster By Abby Abernay
The protagonist in my book, Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire, is named Abby Abernathy. Abby is your average 18 year old college student, or so it seems. Early in the book it is found out that Abby has an interesting past that has yet to be revealed to me. However, through what I have read it seems to me that Abby is dynamically developing. Abby starts out disgusted at the guy she meets at the fight club, (Travis, the books hunk). However, the more she gets to know Travis the more you can see Abby begin to open up and become less stuck up towards the world. Abby is also completely convinced that she will never have any feelings towards Travis but she also catches herself wondering why the guy who sleeps with everyone stopped trying to sleep

    One of the most starch character development can be observed in Ava Bigtree. In the beginning of the story, Ava has a vast imagination. Ava’s imagination is fueled by the nature surrounding her. She has the ability to see every situation she is in through a positive lens. The author uses Birdman as a catalyst in Ava’s development and the loss of her innocence. Once Ava is raped, her imagination begins to dwindle away. Eventually, the nature that once fueled her begins to force her into a new mindset. “But if I observe my friend and fairy man from a different perch of my brain, I saw the birdman could be an anybody” (Russel 283). After this pivotal moment, Ava starts to notice the nature she lives in is not as magical as she once believes. When Ava is awakened to the danger of Birdman, her perspective of nature and the world around her begins to dull. “We walked back from the hammock in silence. We passed the same trees and their same orbiting bulbs the same white flowers the same sour creamy ponds but everything looked changed to me now. The moon had a bad charge” (Russel 291). One terrible experience, in the swamp, causes the small child to lose her former identity. The event shapes the way she feels about herself and the world surrounding her.…

    For this week, I have chosen ‘Hangovers’ which wrote by Jennifer Pashley, and My choice was random. In this short story, the writer described the vision and sensations at different moments of hangovers in different words. Pashley described many moments of hangovers at the home, at the school, at the college, and at the hospital. She used simple words to share her feelings with the readers. Actually, I liked the writer's descriptive style "That taste like strawberry milkshakes, fake and pink.…
