Entry two

In my book, the main character is Virginia Shreves. Her number one goal is to lose weight.  She struggles as she has nobody to open up to without getting judged and eating is just a way of distraction.  I think that she would just enjoy a break in her life especially from friends and family. Besides Virginia there are no other main characters.  Her family's desire is for her to lose weight,  her best friend's is to come home to New York, and her boyfriend's desire is to get up her shirt. As I get further into the story the characters' complexity will grow and desires will be answered. As I am not at the end of the story it is harder to find the main theme of the story. So far  themes could be "Happiness should be the main priority" or "If you aren't happy, you have the choice to change until you are". I made these thematic statements because the main conflict is of Virginia not enjoying her life. The structure of this book is made so that it's easy to predict what is going to happen next in the book. I believe because of this structure the theme will continue throughout the book and she will achieve happiness.
