Butter By Erin Jade Lange

Four Hundred and twenty three pounds. The weight of somebody named Butter in the book that's conveniently also called Butter, written by Erin Jade Lange. As previously stated, Butter is a morbidly obese 423- pound teenager, and goes to high school at Scottsdale, Arizona. He is pessimistic, embarrassed, and is very lonely to say the least. Butter despises school, and knows that everybody at his high school hates to see the sight of how enormous he is. Since everybody pre-judges Butter, he basically has no friends. The only friends Butter has is someone he met at fat camp, and his online girlfriend that doesn't know how he looks. His life at home isn't much better with a father who doesn't talk to him, and a mother that babies him twenty for seven. The only thing that's somewhat okay about his life is the saxophone he owns, and the BMW that his parents bought for him. Though it's not enough, resulting in Butter wanting to kill himself by eating himself to death.
Such as, when he started to get bullied by a kid name Jeremy. Furthermore, Jeremy would do everything to make Butter miserable, and even made Butter eat a whole stick of butter. Hence the reason why everybody calls him Butter. What Butter really wants is to not be pre-judged for how he looks, but instead be judged for who he is as a human being. The only way Butter thinks he can do this is end his life. Having said that, he decides to broadcast his last meal, and he posts “Tune in December 31st, when I will stream a live webcast of my last meal. I can't take another year in this fat cap ,but I can end this year with a bang. If you can stomach it, you’re invited to watch… as I eat myself to death” (1 Lange). From that point on he gains something that he would never expect,
