After
reading Everyday, I learned many things. One is to be satisfied with the life
you are given. In the book, the main character A is a soul that inhabits a new
body every 24 hours. But throughout the book, A learns that he/she can't have
an independent life without hurting someone else's. For example, after being in
a teenage boy's body for a day, A fell in love with the boy's girlfriend. Soon,
A when in other bodies, would visit the girlfriend Rhiannon in various
locations. However, many lives were affected by this, including a boy he
inhabited once. The boy was about to go on a vacation to Hawaii, but A changed
that when he/she left the boy’s family to see Rhiannon for the day. When A came
back, he got into huge trouble. In addition, the love story between A and
Rhiannon couldn’t last forever. A couldn’t see Rhiannon for some days because
of the body A was in, and Rhiannon began to have doubts about the relationship,
and A. In the end, the only way for the two to be together was if A could
figure out a way to inhabit a body for more than a day. He/she knew that by
doing this, the relationship was not only hurting others, but it also was
keeping Rhiannon from living her life as a teenager. So A knew that he had to
set Rhiannon free. All in all, your life may not be perfect right now, but keep
it. Unlike A, you get the experience of growing up, and learning in your own
body how to do so.
