Reading Response 2: Every day

Every Day: David Levithan

       Rhiannon is now aware that A is in a different body every day, they have formed  an unusual relationship. Rhiannon is still dating Justin but is coming to the realization that A (who she has known for a short period of time) treats her better then Justin ever has. Every day when A wakes up in a new life he will email Rhiannon to set up a time they can meet up, through meeting they begin to get to know each other more and more. For A its easy to fall in love with Rhiannon because she isn't changing body's and living a new life everyday, but for Rhiannon it is taking a huge adjustment for her to talk to A as if he isn't someone new everyday. Even though its the same person Rhiannon is having to learn how to love beyond his appearance everyday. The body A is in for the day is temporary but his love for Rhiannon does not change.
Quote:
" I love you-I do-but I am afraid of making that love too important. Because you're always going to leave me, A. We can't deny it. You're always going to leave." -Rhiannon. 

  I think in this passage Rhiannon is trying so hard to see past this problem but she keeps coming back to the same conclusion. No matter how much A wants to be there for her every day he isn't going to wake up in the same body the next morning, he cant physically be there for her all the time. She realizes that this isn't something that he can change but she isn't sure if she can handle it. I think this is one of the times where Rhiannon is trying to fight the love she has for A. She wants to believe that she can move on and find something that isn't as hectic and as crazy as this situation is.
Connection:  I think that if this was even a possible situation in my life I would act very similar to how Rhiannon is acting. I would be very hesitant to even begin talking to A. I would try to talk myself out the whole situation. I think I would start feeling like I was crazy for even thinking this was real. Even though this situation is impossible I feel myself connecting with Rhiannon along the lines of knowing how she feels in situations where I have no control.
