The Fat Girl by Andre Dubus
I think this short story deals with a topic that almost every girl can relate to. Weight is a major issue girls and women of all ages deal with. It seems to contaminate society and consume every aspect including media, magazines, movies, and tv shows. I think Dubus explored the protagonist's- Louise-addiction to food, struggle with weight, and her shame in a very descriptive manner. However, I did not like the ending. I would have liked Louise to deal with her addiction, but I am glad she was able to accept herself as she is.
