"Anatomy of a Boyfriend", was written by Daria Snadowsky and published in 2007. Later on in 2013, she published, "Anatomy of a Single Girl" (the sequel to her first book). These two books are the only books she has written and published.

"C"LIMAX:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 00:47:07 UTC

Since the beginning of the book, Dominique has been teased by her friend Amy about being a senior and still having her "v" card. The climax of the story takes place on pages 154-157. Dominique finally experiences having sex for the first time with her boyfriend Wes on prom night.

"D"ESCRIPTION:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 00:47:27 UTC

The book takes place in Fort Myers Florida, however later in the book when Dominique goes off to college, she is in New Orleans Louisiana.

"E"XPOSITION:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 00:47:49 UTC

Dominique's story begins with her and her friend Amy talking about not "doing it" until college. Amy is Dominique's best friend and constantly rides her about only focusing on school and not pleasuring herself. As the beginning of the story continues the author introduces Dominique's parents and soon to be love interest Wes.

"F"IGURATIVE LANGUAGE:

SIMILE: Page #216 -"...which sparkles like green fire".
METAPHOR: Page #4 - "My canvas is your body, and my paintbrush is my peni-".
HYPERBOLE: Page #216 - "My mood ring looks darker and lifeless compared to the emerald, which sparkles like green fire". (a ring can't actually catch fire)

"G"IVE:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 00:48:38 UTC

My ending would be for the whole book: Dominique and Wesley continue going to separate colleges. After graduating from college they move in together and eventually start a family.

"H"EART TO HEART:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 00:48:52 UTC

To: Dominique
Dear Dom,
Being a virgin is not a bad thing at all no matter how much Amy tells you it is. You don't need to have sex in order to be happy. Doing something so personal with someone really connects you to that person, so taking your time finding that "right" someone is always a good idea. Seriously though, TAKE YOUR TIME.
With all the love,
Carolyn <3

"I"LLUSTRATION:

"J"USTIFY

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 00:53:48 UTC

I would recommend my book because it is very relateable to some of the things that go on while in highschool/college. "Anatomy of a Boyfriend", is a very blunt and surreal book. I feel that a lot of what the author incorporated into this writing are the things people really don't want to talk about but think about. (AKA: their sex life)

"K"NOW YOUR BOOK:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 00:54:49 UTC

#1: What is this book mainly about?
-This book is mainly about a female exploring her body/a males body to find what she likes.
#2: Would you recommend this book be read by students in middle school or younger?
-I would not recommend this book be read by students who are not in high school due to the explicit text found in certain parts of the book. This book is for a mature audience.
#3: Is this book based on reality?
-This book gives insight to what I feel is very much reality in every aspect. From exploring the female/male body, to feelings in relationships, to connections with family/friends, and so forth. This book gives insight on certain issues that may be difficult for some people to talk about.

"L"ESSONS LEARNED:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 00:55:48 UTC

In life, there will always be people trying to pressure you to do things you may not be ready for. Take your time in making decisions and don't let others influence your decisions.

"M"AKING PERSONAL CONNECTIONS:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 00:57:38 UTC

I feel like I can connect with Dominique on a personal level because even though she's never had a boyfriend, I have never had sexual intercourse. While reading, I made a connection with Dom from the start just based off of the fact that we were in the same circle, AKA: The Virgin Circle. I also feel some of the things Dominique felt before she lost her virginity and mind you these feelings are very surreal.

"N"ARRATION:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 00:58:40 UTC

This book is in first person point of view. Dominque, the protagonist is the one telling about being in highschool, getting a boyfriend, having sex for the first time and then going off to college and starting new.

"O"RIGINAL IDEA:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 00:59:37 UTC

This book is nothing like what iv'e seen in a movie or read in another book. I feel this writing is unique in itself and shows the reality of some highschool relationships and the feelings that come with them.

"P"ROTAGONIST:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 01:00:21 UTC

The protagonists for this book is Dominique.

"Q"UOTES:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 01:01:00 UTC

Page 9, last sentence of the last paragraph: "Boys are all assholes or bores, anyway".
I like this quote because I learned earlier on in life that most guys suck and even if you tried your hardest to change them for the better it doesn't help them because they don't want to change.

"R"ESOLUTION

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 01:02:19 UTC

The conflict in my book was that Dominique had never had sex before. The resolution to this was her having sex with Wesley which was also the climax of the book.

"S"ENSORY DETAILS:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 01:02:52 UTC

Page 251 :
"It feels good everywhere, but I start narrowing in on one particular spot, right above my vagina. More tingles and pulses. My heartbeat quickens, and I hold my breath. Suddenly it's as if a huge passageway opens up down there and all my body's energy is racing toward it. Then, an eruption. My hips thrash up and down like crazy, and I grunt as if i have just been kneed in the stomach.
-Daria Snadowsky

"V"ISITING YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 01:05:04 UTC

Questions for Dominique:
#1: Why did you wait so long to have intercourse?
-I ask this question because I want to know what makes people decide when or when not to have sex for the first time and if they had done so later in life what their reasoning is for it.
#2: Has Amy always been a good friend to you?
-I know that I have a best friend and even with our ups and downs shes always been there for me so i'd like to know if their friendship is the same way.
#3: Have you always been so close with your parents?
-Growing up, I was and still am a mommy's girl. I never really have been close with my dad so it would be nice to know if their relationship has grown from a certain point or if it has always been that way.
#4: Why have you never had a boyfriend besides Wesly?

"W"RITE:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 01:05:41 UTC

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
True love isn't real,
And neither are you.

"X"ENOPHOBIA:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 01:06:02 UTC

I think when Dominique goes off to college at Tulane, leaving her family and long time boyfriend Wesley behind, makes her experience xenophobia. She's going off to a place she's never been before, sharing a dorm with someone she's never met, and will be surrounded by people she's never seen in he life.

"Y"OU:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 01:07:18 UTC

I feel that this book honestly is about how to figure out what gives you pleasure and helps with dealing with things in certain relationships sex wise.

"Z"INGER:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 01:07:29 UTC

The singer I chose is found on page 4 and it reads," My canvas is your body, and my paintbrush is my peni-". I found this funny because this line was apart of a fantasy Amy was having about some guy in her art class and I actually LOLED! (laughed out loud).

"A"NTAGONIST:

4801825555 — 2018-04-18 15:44:12 UTC

The antagonists in this book is Dominique's parents.
