Confessions of a Shopaholic Book Report part 1
Rebecca Bloomwood is the main character of the story I read. She has many terrible characteristics that would describe her. She is self absorbed, deceitful, irresponsible, inconsiderate, effortless, arrogant, and has a bad OCD. She has one okay characteristic about her and that is well-dressed. Rebecca is self-absorbed because she takes money from a very rich person to buy a scarf that she doesn’t need, and lies about why she needed the money in the first place to get it. Rebecca is a very deceitful person because she throws away her bank statements and pretends they never arrived. She has a real bad case of irresponsibility. She has to spend money on clothes and things that are in fashion. She has lots of overdrafts and doesn’t have the money to pay them off and always makes excuses so that she doesn’t have to pay the bills that are overdue. Rebecca decides instead of cutting back in her spending she would just have to make more and the results she was looking for didn’t help her in any way. She is terribly inconsiderate all she cares about is what’s in and she has feelings for only herself until the people she loves are gone. Effortless doesn’t even begin to describe her and how she does her job because she is a journalist for Successful Saving she believes that she can just slack off until the workers boss is pushing them for the next article to come out. Around her lunch break time she is ready to shop and go home so she makes any excuse up that could possibly get her out of work for the rest of the day or on a vacation. Rebecca is very arrogant she has to have anything that looks good and is expensive she only goes into specific clothes store because she refuses to buy from any store that might even look like a thrift or department store. The last really horrible thing about Rebecca is she has a case of OCD she has to buy clothes for no reason all she has the little voice in her head that says I have to have that and that and that. Get it now it can’t wait and it doesn’t matter if it is relevant to her life or not. The only good thing I can pick out of Rebecca’s characteristics is she is very well-dressed because she always has to have what is in or she waits to wear it until it is. Many characteristics describe my main character and these are just some of them if you read the book you can find out more about this interesting character. Book Report part 2 Confessions of a Shopaholic.
The point of view in the book is in first person. I think that this point of view was chosen because if it had not been chosen the book would not have made much sense. The story line would have had to be explained in a completely different way. I do not think that the story would have been as interesting as it was if it was described in a different view because if it had been described in a different way the way she does everything she does would not have much sense to anyone reading the book. A specific section that was biased because of the point of was in the book she is describing her job as a boring job that no one would ever want to have and made no money. If the point of view had been different I think that the descriptions of the job could have been different especially if it was a person who actually took the job and enjoyed the work and money that was given for the job whereas with just her point of view the job seams dreadful and boring and like everyone who has or ever will have this job will hate or despise it because of the requirements needed. Since the character in the book is in debt and troubled from their spending problems it makes it look like anyone individual who ever has this job will be in debt and be bored out their mind having this job. If the main character in the book had not had been in debt and having problems with their money the entire book could have been different and the main character could have been more involved with other things in her life than being completely obsessed with shopping and spending endless hours sulking around unhappily trying to turn their life around and not be in debt or having to watch all of his or her spending on a tight monthly budget. If the story had not been told in this specific point of view I think that the story would have been completely pointless and a waste of time to have read because it would have made it less interesting and I think it would have made it into a non-fiction book or like non-fiction book. This point of view was needed for this book and if you read the book you will find that what I’ve said is true.
