Precious week 11

I feel like precious is very worthy of praise. She is a very strong girl that has a lot on her plate. With her mother and father both sexual and physical touching her, it’s just a lot for someone to bare let alone deal with. I feel like she doing good by going to school and trying to get an education even though she not as educated as a 16 year old should be. I give her props for putting up with all the bullshit her parents put her through. For a fact I know if I was in here situation I would be able to put up with the molesting or the beating.  Personal I would have report both of them to the police or worst tried to kill them. One thing I didn’t understand was why the doctors didn’t contact police when she told them that was her second baby from her father. The second thing I didn’t understand was why her mother had so much hatred for her only daughter, all that hate because of a man who didn’t care about her or his own daughter she was jealous and Beat her that’s crazy, and all this shows is that she a unstable parent and unstable in the head as well. As for precious teacher I feel she is very worthy of praise for standing up to her student and taking charge of helping them with their learning disabilities also  helping with their personal downfalls through  their writings in there journal.

Oedipus the king

Oedipus the king is about a king name Oedipus who move from his home in Corinth  to a place called Thebes because  it was said that he was going to marry and bed his mother and kill his father. So to prevent this he left Corinth and end up and Thebes.  On his journey to Thebes he came across some men who tried to run him off the road so he killed all of them except one. When he got to Thebes there was a lot of problem. One major problem was the sphinx, a monster with the body of a lion, wing, and the head and torso of a woman. After their king died the sphinx wouldn’t let anyone in or out the city unless someone could answer her riddle. “What can walk on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?” those who couldn’t answer were killed and eaten. Oedipus came along and provided the answer (A human being), and saved the city. The sphinx committed suicide and sense there was a king the citizens named Oedipus the king of Thebes. Then he married the queen and had four children. Then One day things came crashing down for him when the citizens need help because they were ill and poor and the only way to stop the famish and the illnesses  was if they found the man who killed there king/ruler king laius. So Oedipus send his brother in law Creon to the gods to find some answers, it was answers he wanted in answers he got. To make a long story short Oedipus found out he was adopted he was giving to his adopted parents by a shepherd because a man gave him to the shepherd when he was little because his mother didn’t want him, because it was said that he was going to kill his father and marry and bed his mother. So when he was just days old she gave him to a messenger to be killed, but the messenger couldn’t kill him so he gave him to the shepherd thinking he would take him far away. So to make a long story short out the men he killed on his way to Thebes one of them was king Laius who was also his long lost father and the husband of Oedipus wife/queen who he had four kids with. So Oedipus queen was his wife and his mother. So when he found this out his wife/mom killed herself and Oedipus stabbed his eyes out and demands to be killed or thrown out of Thebes forever.

Crank

Crank reads like a poem book. In it, she chronicles the turbulent and often disturbing relationship between Kristina, a character based on her own daughter, and the "monster," the highly addictive drug crystal meth, or "crank." Kristina is introduced to the drug while visiting her largely absent and ne'er-do-well father. While under the influence of the monster, Kristina discovers her sexy alter-ego, Bree: "there is no perfect daughter, / no gifted high school junior, / no Kristina Georgia Snow. / There is only Bree." Bree will do all the things good girl Kristina won't, she will do anything for a quick fix.She was more into drug then her school work so her grades started to drop, and her friends and family slowly started pushing away from her. With her family and friends steady push away from her this made her depressed so she more of the monster just to get through the day.I haven't read that much, but I feel she isn't worthy of praise because she not doing thing worth being praised for.She's hurting her family and friend and ruining her life.I feel like if she continues to mess around with stranger just for the influence of the monster, she going to end up hurt or worst dead somewhere.

Week 9 push

I am going to read Precious Push (Sapphire). This book is about a girl name Claireece  Precious Jones who was a high school student and was poor, she was raped by her father and was fat and unloved. She was pregnant with her father's child for the second time. She can't read or write, and her schoolmates tease her for being fat. When she's not getting raped and impregnated by her father she’s getting sexually, physically, and verbally abused by her mother. She even gets pushed around by strangers on the street. Even though Precious has a rough life she takes it on day by day with a smile on her faces and love and her heart. I found myself rooting for Precious, caring for her, right away. That's partly because even though Precious guards herself by shutting down whenever her mother is around, we can always see what's crackling beneath the girl's surface. What amazed me was how her mother could choose a man’s love over her own daughters and especially sense that was her only child. Her mother even talked about precious baby a BABY really what did she every do she didn’t ask to be and the world. I loved how even though she wasn’t as educated she still pushed herself and when to an alternative school. The teacher was very caring and so was the student I was amazed at how much everyone wanted to help her and cared for especially the teacher because you don’t usually see that. What made me cry was the end when her mom tried to embrace as a daughter and then tell her that they had AIDS that really pissed me off. Overall I think this book is going to be very interesting.
