Free Choice!!!

I am still reading the book Push by Sapphire and this book has stirred up so many different emotions.  While reading this book it seems like at one point im laughing and the next point im almost in tears. I am almost in tears because of the abuse she goes through throughout the book. Some people that read this book can’t even finish the whole thing.  Some of the things that she goes through, if that was me I couldn’t have handled it. That’s why in my last blog I said that she was worthy of praise. When she said that she had two children by her father I just couldn’t understand how a father could do something like that to their daughter. I was also thinking like how can a father even be attracted to his daughter. This book has so many surprising events.  The verbal and physical abuse that her mom puts her through is unbelievable. I didn’t know that one person can give that much abuse. She gives so much abuse in one day. I don’t understand how Precious can even live in a house that has that much abuse. Abuse is something nobody should go through, no matter what age. You shouldn’t have to take any verbal or physical abuse from anybody no matter who they are. I just feel that her mother and father is supposed to be there for her no matter what. She is getting more abuses at home than she is in school.  But like I said before this book had stirred up so many emotions and it’s going to stir up more since I haven’t finish the book yet.

Guided Response!!!!

I am currently reading the book Push by Sapphire. This book is really forward and straight to the point. This book tells is like it is and the way it happened. I feel that the author should be worthy of praise because she is going through a lot from what I have read. I havent even gotten through the whole book yet and she is already going through a lot. It seems to me like she has nobody on her side she is a ll alone. Nobody seems like they really care about her and at this point in the book it seem like its getting harder and harder to read. All of the abuse that her mother is putting her through. And her father…. I really have no comment about him because to me he’s just another male that doesn’t need to be a father. I don’t know how a father could do that to his daughter. I don’t understand how a father could look at their child in any kind of sexual way.  The main character of the book Claireece Precious Jones, is already a mother to 2 kids and the babies father is her dad. One of her kids has down syndrome. I don’t know how she could handle all of that and worry about her mother treating her like she’s nothing. That’s why I think that the main character which is Precious, is worthy of praise because she is already going through a lot and im not even through half od the book.

The book that I am reading is The Blind Side. And since I have been reading it, I really haven’t got into it like I thought I was. I thought that since the movie really caught my eye from the beginning that the book would be the same way. But come to find out that I’m not as interested like I thought that I would be. I have seen a little difference in the book than the movie but to me nothing really major. The name of the school in the book was different from the movie. I really don’t have much to say about this book because I’m kind of getting uninterested in the book as I read it. I think that if I keep reading it might get better but I really can’t say. If the book doesn’t get interesting really fast I think I might end up changing the book. I really don’t want to change the book because I want to finish what I started. But at the same time I want to read a book that’s going to make me want to keep picking it up every day and read it, it seems like this book is not doing that.
