In the book, Every Day David Leviathan created a character “A”. A is not a girl or a boy; it is basically a traveling soul. Throughout the book, A is waking up in a new body everyday not knowing whose body he is waking up in next. A tends to fall in love with a girl, Rhiannon. A does not want to lose connection with her, even though she does not know what A really is in the beginning. She struggles though out the book to realize what A is trying to teach her. A is trying to show Rhiannon how love should be found from within the person, not the appearance, or having the same gender love each other, otherwise the love will be taken for granted.

Some may also believe that it is hard to connect with the person when you don’t find them attractive, but why should it matter?

A had to remind Rhiannon to pay attention on the inside, not the appearance of what A is that day. A felt the difference of Rhiannon’s vibe towards Finn’s body, but it is nothing they can do about it but deal with it. Comparing the attractions between A and Rhiannon from being in Kelsea’s body to Finn’s body is very similar. Rhiannon still feels uncomfortable with the situation, because one A was a girl, and two A was in a fat teens body. Rhiannon is acting weird because she is not attracted to them; she is focused on the appearance. Later on when A is in a new body, his name is Xavier. A goes to visit Rhiannon, and she notices how attractive Xavier’s body is. Rhiannon expresses feelings, and much more of a physical attraction than what A is use too, “She runs her fingers along my back. Kisses my neck, my ear. (Levithan 228)”. Now from Kelsea, to Finn to Xavier, her attraction changed towards A. And it is because A is currently in an
