Blog Part B

So I am only 20 pages away from finishing my book. I feel as though I am inhaling it and I will be very sad when it is over!  For this blog post, I think I am going to analyze the main supporting character, Philip Weston.  When I first began reading my novel, I thought that Philip was just another nice guy who cared for Bette, which is most likely what the author wanted the reader to think at first. But as the book progressed, I started to get the impression that he was a real jerk.  He is currently Bette's "boyfriend", but goes around and flirts with other girls.  He treats Bette like crap, almost like hired help.  He asks for drinks, for her to go and get his car and the like.  About halfway through the book, Bette starts to realize that Philip isn't who she thinks he is and she starts to withdraw from him. There is one big obstacle, though.  She works for a huge party planning firm and they are planning a huge event that Philip is hosting. IF she broke up with him, they would lose the event, and Bette would lose her job.  Philip knows this and tries to get closer to Bette, making him a bigger jerk in my mind.   I don't know what happens next, but I'll keep you posted!
