The main character in my novel is called Anise Jasmine Luther and she's anorexic. Shes been hospitalized for the third time at Eliza Petraclark Memorial Hospital. Anise is 16 years old and she's 5'9 and weighs 44kg. Some personality and character traits that she portrays are that she can be really stubborn and often times is intimidated by her appearance. Along with that she has a short temper and doesn't find herself remorseful. She always thinks about what people think about her and how disgusting she looks. She has a hard time accepting that some people like her teachers and boyfriend actually admire her for who she is and want the best for her. On the bright side shes a very smart girl who understands her condition and tries her best to make the right choices in life. She often contemplates between wanting to continue to live or give up and die. In the end she always decides to continue to live because she wants to be there for her brother and boyfriend.
My character made some wrong choices in this novel when she was released from the hospital the other two times she was told she had to keep eating and be at her healthy goal weight. Instead, she decided to harm herself and to start starving herself. As a consequence she ended up back in the hospital for the third time. One of her weakness' are that she has a hard time concentrating on her health and continuing to eat so she can be healthy. There was also another time Anise made a bad choice to get angry at her doctor for making her gain another 10kg past her goal weight she already achieved. She got angry to the point of wanting to hurt herself or seek revenge on the doctor. She decided to seek revenge on the doctor and decided to urinate on his special plant that he had been taking care of for a long time. As her consequence she got a orange wrist band put on her so that she can be closely watched. Her weakness seems to be that if she doesn't get what she wants then she seeks revenge on people. She didn't seem remorseful towards her actions but afterwards I think she felt bad because she went out and bought him a new plant.
Has there ever been a time you regretted a decision you made? If so, what was the decision and what was the consequence? Which decision should you have made? Did you feel remorseful?

Well Sandra, I would like to start by saying that your book has intrigued me. It seems like this book is very relatable to many people who struggle with the same problem. We all have strengths, but it is harder to realize our weaknesses. Now to answer your question, I don't think I regret making the decisions I've made because I believe that everything happens for a reason. Although I have thought my decisions may have been the wrong one, I know I've made them for the right reason. For example, when my parents split up, I made the decision to move in with my Mom. I made this decision knowing that I was giving up a better life for me to make my Moms life better. I knew that if I lived with my Dad, I could get everything I wanted. I gave it all up so that my Mom would not be alone by herself. Although I hardly ever get what I want, I know its all worth it to see her smile.
ReplyDeleteWell I had never had a time like that, it was always people in school bugging me all the time each and every day. It would get to the point where i would didn't know what to do any more. I regretted hanging around them and making my self worry over how i looked or what i ware the next day. I was wondering if those people would make fun of me that day b/c i wasn't waring the right brand name of clothing and stuff that they had. Now i dont even bother it's pointless.
ReplyDeleteIn my life so far one decision that i no i regrette not doing would be not putting full effort into school work to be more suceesfull coming out of school. From not putting full efort into everything my marks coming out of high school not show who i really am . simple decision that i would have made was to try harder.
ReplyDeleteWe all go throgh a stage were we feel pressured into doing things that we don't feel comfortable doing in the end I feel when am pressured into doing something that I know that is the wrong thing to do I end up regreting it later. There was a time that I was offered a great opprutinity and I ended up turing that offer down, the day after I regreted that because a good offer only comes once in a life time.
ReplyDeleteHave I ever regretted a decision that I've made?? Oh ya. But I think I've learnt that it's the things that I DIDN'T do rather than the things I've done that I regret more. Life is about taking chances and risks, and sometimes they don't work out the way we hoped it would, but I'd rather take a chance and have it blow up in my face than sit back and wait for things to happen.
ReplyDeleteI think we've all made decisions that we regret. I've had many, but I think my main one that bugs me all the time is that when I started working 3 years ago, I didn't save. I spent all my money, mostly on lunches and things I didn't really need. Now I don't have much to show for the money I've made. It's effecting me a lot because a car would be a great investment right now, but I don't have the money to get it. Now I've realized that saving is important, and I'm trying my best.
ReplyDeleteI think after a bad decision your learn a lesson, and know for next time.
I dont think I have made a major bad decision in my life but I have made plenty of small bad ones. But no one is perfect. But these small decisions effect your life wether you like it or not. We just have to learn to live with our decisions and make the best of them.
ReplyDeleteThere has never been a time I really regretted a decision I made although there have been times I've regretted not making a decision and taking risks in life. Sometimes I feel I play life to safe. I'd rather let stuff happen then wait for something to happen. But it's true, no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes in life, and we learn from them.
