Author's Note: The Diary of Morgan Carter represents opinions in life, the truths and lies or even the things you do every day all hidden away in the loud and clear message in the pages of the Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet series.
It wasn’t her choice to get hooked on drugs or go to rehab, now she's a washed-up actress who has recently fallen from having been on top. Outside of her partying night life with drugs and drinking in Los Angeles, she was shipped off to the small town Fort Wayne in Indiana. Her fictional story is printed inside the books of True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet and More Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet by Lola Douglas. The story of Morgan Carter has a different interesting style, intriguing text that plays with your mind and includes everyday life connections we can all make.
Morgan Carter’s adventure is written in an ordinary notebook, but its words inked in its pages enlightened readers about how she went through her daily life that everyone goes through at one point. The format the books were written in was a daily diary. She wrote about how paparazzi would stalk her friends and family or what life in a common school was like. Days at school were very diverse from her partying life when she was high on drugs and drinking. Morgan’s story represents the true meaning of opinions of one another, stated underneath Douglas's words.
When Morgan was sober, she found herself livelier than ever, so Douglas put all of these events into the books that anyone could go through. Readers will love how the author wrote from a stand point that any individual may fail to be aware of. The author made us see that a celebrity is just like us. A famous person may take the wrong path, but that doesn’t imply they don’t try to fix their mistake. Tabloids stretch the truth a bit to make something appear as if people are the most horrible people who do illegal things. Everything they write goes everywhere and people believe all of those ugly fake pictures and articles. People don’t understand Morgan. They never could understand how addictive a substance could be or how hard it is to adjust to a life they’ve never been in. Lola Douglas makes us see the good part of a superstar through Morgan’s journal.
Readers can truly connect to Morgan’s adventures through the text, whether it be ordinary high school life to being high on drug and alcohol. You see so many diverse personalities every day, but do you truly get to know them? That's what Douglas teaches us. In the books, Morgan is distinguished as someone who parties all of the time and who merely is concerned about her representation. Her piers called her names behind her back; her enemies sold fake stories to the press. People I know are known as a character they appear to be and that same person calls others names, too. It’s a continuous circle, never ending. Every day, people are so to say “marked” with a name, a figure that looks like a person they may not be.
This short series proves to everyone that we’re our own person, no matter who tells us what we are; we will always be the human being we elect to be and are at heart. Seeing people and instantaneously giving them a "nickname" is a pattern that we’ve acquired from generation to generation. It’s the moment to break that habit and get to know a celebrity or anyone you may believe is rude, mean or whatever else. We should all read Morgan’s story and discover the true meaning of one another through each other.
