That is defined as several times throughout the novel the protagonist of this story. At first, nobody doubts the advantages
of being an "iron girl": one can imagine a person strong, resolute, unwavering, someone for whom nothing is an obstacle, perhaps a bit insensitive ... (certainly not the iron is hot material). However, after reading this piece of life by Véronique we can change our view and believe that a personality iron is useless if not accompanied by a strong desire to cling to life, some flexibility (not iron has absolutely) to afford mistakes, likes to be, to embrace, to mourn, for help. In short, discovering that the key is balance, that nobody can be perfect, nor should it be oneself, but it sounds very simple, is one of the most difficult tasks and, perhaps the most committed of our lives. 1. Véronique under a microscope The protagonist of the story is told from the perspective of her best friend, Gabrielle Perrault. The first change to note in Véronique, with a mixture of envy and admiration, is the drop in weight that has experienced the incredible figure and a girl that looks at which puberty had given him some curves that she judged too generous (p. 12). These changes are accompanied by physical changes in behaviour, as Gabrielle note at the end of Chapter 1: Cautiously, Véronique was to cut the pizza. Small bites. Very small. That never took the mouth (p. 19). Gabrielle also experiencing a decline in weight because of concern over the situation that is going through her friend. Probably, at some point "he closed his stomach and began to eat less. His parents and his brother are concerned and believe it is "spreading" of Véronique. She responds: An anorexic is not just a girl who adelgaza, Lionel. It''s a girl who has serious problems, and far more complex than you eye (p. 65). Moreover, there are certain factors of family and social environment conducive to a person gets sick in this way. It was read in the novel, we know that Gabrielle Perrault, the faithful friend of Véronique, is not dazzling nor overly charming. She loves skiing background and enjoys cycling and also its "look-cycle delirious pimaveral" (shorts since broken over some boots, helmet with reasons ... custom design futuristic glasses) ... (p. 45). And we can not ignore that this is a "friend of iron": But beyond all this, beyond jealousy and meanness, At one point in its history, Véronique eagerly read a novel by Honoré de Balzac, Skin zapa And this reading leaves an imprint on your heart: Raphael, the protagonist of this story by Balzac, has 26 years but does not want to live longer; stands ready to thrown into the river Seine. However, does not want to do it in broad daylight and decided to roam, without a penny in my pocket until it reaches the night. Distracted, enters an antique shop and its owner shows a skin zapa, which is a leather donkey worked so special and with a granular surface, like sandpaper. This skin in particular has recorded a mysterious and attractive legend: "If I have, having all. But your life I belong. God wanted it that way. Hopes and your wishes will be fulfilled. But according dosifica your desires with your life. She is here. For every desire lowers the days of your life. Would I want? Take. God grant you what you ask. Amen. "As his disease progresses, Vero feels he can not control their lives, there is a force within it that leads to not feed themselves even though they know that this path also leads to self destruction. Vero feels very close to madness. With the reading of Véronique we escorted to a girl and her friend for a few months of his life, we have gone through the observation of our surroundings and the reading of three major works of the nineteenth century, have enriched our knowledge and perhaps we have more questions than answers about human nature.
