For my third marking period IRB, I
read Eat, Pray, Love a novel by Elizabeth Gilbert. The novel is about a
yearlong vacation Gilbert goes on, to find herself. To most people packing up
and traveling around the world is simply impossible due to everyday constraints.
The book immerses you in Gilberts life lessons of finding happiness, without
having to get on a plane and do it yourself. As Gilbert continued her journey from
the Big Apple, to Italy, to India, and finally Indonesia, she enchanted her
readers with the progression of her attitude. The book is set up by the country
she travels to, each country she goes to she has a specific goal in mind. In
the beginning of the novel Gilbert has a stereotypical new Yorker attitude, as
the book progresses she finds peace within herself and resorts to modes of
meditation to calm her. As she travels she takes advice from the people she
meets, she soon accepts her true self and this gives her the ability to see the
world from a different perspective. Gilberts purpose of Eat, Pray, Love was to
share her enchanting experience with her readers. She meant to inspire those
with dull lives to get up and immerse their selves in new cultures, food, and
interact with new people.
