The main character in the book Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella is Rebecca or "Becky." From what I have read so far I have learned that Becky cares a lot more about herself and shopping than her job and other people. She is in a lot of dept from buying things she doesn't need and used someones money to buy a scarf for her when she said it was for her sick aunt. Also during the press conferences she goes to she doesn't pay attention, she just thinks about shopping and draws in her notebook. From how Becky has been acting I can predict that she will get into some trouble with her job since she knows nothing about finance, and doesn't care for it, get fired, and go into more dept. She will be a round character in the book.
Many people are "shopaholics" like Becky. Being addicted to shopping is actually a serious problem for a lot of people which puts them into a lot of debt. This article talks about the many "shopaholics" including a man that has spent over $600,000 on clothes in three years.
wow! i knew that shopping cold get people into a real problem, but i never knew how much. the article was so crazy to read because it gave me a sense of how the "other half" lives. thanks so much for the great article.
ReplyDeleteI think it sounds interesting. I'm going to add it to my list of to reads. It's cool how they're going to turn the book into a movie.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the movie and I thought it was really good but I have never read the book. Do you like the book or the movie better?
