Dough Boy, Peter Marino

Significance

The significance of this book is that it teaches you a lesson. In this book their was a boy named (Tristan), who was obsessed. A lot of things were going wrong in his life, with his parents getting divorced, struggling in high school to gain respect, and is helped and talked about with his weight control. The importance of this book is that it teaches you to control your weight and stay fit and for others that people who are obsessed can have something going on in their life or that they don't care about there weight. It doesn't help when others talk about or don't accept people that are not fit or are weird. It makes it hard on them to find the guts to make their own way. You should care about this because; you don’t ever know what can happen as a result.

Perspective

My perspective of this book is that the author was trying to relay a message to all people. Saying that if you are obsessed take control of your body and don't let people influence what you are doing, but if it is good you can take the idea or get help. Also, if you are talking or not accept somebody for how they look encourage not doubt them on the problem and don't let others influence you about other people. On the characters part they showed a lot of stuff that I am talking about in the book. I don't think the author's experiences had anything to do with him writing the book, but I think he wrote it for a reason that he thought was good.

Evidence

The evidence I received while reading this book to say my perspective was that their was an argument being made. The argument was that Tristan the main character was overweight and was doing fine the Kelly moved in with his step dad and she was a nutritional person who judged overweight people and thought Tristan was overweight. She put him on a diet and exercise program. Tristan wasn't pleased with that idea he thought he was fine, and then conflict was going on in the house. To support this argument there is not really facts about it is an opinion in the stand point of who the person. An opinion that Kelly had was that Tristan needed to lose weight and that he was obsessed. The opinion that Tristan had was he thought he was doing fine and didn't think he needed to go on a diet. So, there are facts but little in the perspective of how people think of others. A fact to support would be that Tristan is overweight and Kelly is a nutritional person.

Connection

The connection to the world is a good example of this issue. The present example of this issue is that a lot Americans eat fast food most of the time. They name us the big or fat country because of our intake. This book can show you that it is not good to eat junk food all the time but some of the time and eat nutritional food like fruit or food with proteins. In the future this book can resolve two problems. One to teach people to watch their diet. Secondly that you shouldn't judge others by how they look in appearance. This relates to the past because the American obsessed population increased over the years. It relates to reality because you see people who are obsessed and don't seem to get around easily so you should help them not harm them.

Suppostion

As I draw conclusion for this book. I just want to tell you that keep your body on a good diet and you wouldn't have to be on the track of overweight problems. For the people that see people that are overweight encourage them to do better for themselves don't bring them down.
