The rules of attraction

The Rules Of Attraction

            Before opening the book I had a different prospective of it, because of the cover I honestly thought it had to do with a mastery story and involved culture because of the class. But I come across a book that had so much going and was absolutely interesting. It called my attention the fact that the book talked about college students and how it concentrated on all types of students. All the students mentioned were addicted to drug and drinking. They were liberal adults who found it normal to have casual sex among each other or at parties. These students slept around with people they either never met or that were in relationships. The dangerous concept about the drugs and the abuse of alcohol was that students would involve themselves with situation they did want to. They also had a case of homosexuality. The description of the book was intense made me as the reader feel the scene. The beginning of the book was shocking and sad the fact that a girl who was inexperienced lost he virginity unconsciously. It made me think how unsafe it is to be under the influence and with the wrong crowd. This particular book should be assigned to incoming freshman because it would be good for them to get a heads up about certain situation they may come across with. I also realized how many students find relief and forget about house troubles in drugs such as the guy who over doused because of his parents separation.

            I also found it interesting the different treatment they had among students. They seem to me like they looked down upon financial aid students.  Everything time he was mentioned that concept was brought up. I really enjoyed the way the book was structured and how every character had its own part but then again still connected.  It made me realize how important it is to have safe sex or talk to others about it because these students did not know if the people they were having sex with had a disease. In one particular case one of the college girl was worried about a unwanted pregnancy so she decided to have an abortion. I am not against that decision because after all a women has the right to choose what she wants to do with her body. On the other hand, it also makes one think about miss communication with their parents because not one student ever mention calling their parent for help and guidance. Most of them worried about being broke never called their parents for help even though some came from wealthy families. All this characters made the college exercise so wild and crazy something that every parent fears. I personally thought college was all about parties and drinking and being pushed to make the wrong decisions. But as a current student I learned that we make the choices and we follow the path we want. There is a lot of pressure at times but that is ones time to prove how strong one can be.
