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.  

Caught'em slippin

liar

                                          Is the character worthy of praise or criticism? Why?

Micah is very worthy of criticism. I understand she lies but at least make them believable. At first this book really had my attention especially when the Micah, Sarah, and Tayshawn left the funeral. I was so surprised that Sarah left with them. I thought she would have wanted to stick around with his family and mourn and try to pry the truth out of them about Zach’s death. I was very surprise when Tayshawn took the girls to him and Zach’s spot because boy’s are very secretive, but what surprise me the most was all of them where getting alone. Sarah was talking to Micah as if she was regular and so was Tayshawn he even told her he didn’t think she was that bad looking as everyone else thought. What creped me out was the part when they all started kissing that gave me the impression that this was another one of Micah’s many lies. I also felt like they were betraying Zach even though he is dead, because they all claimed they loved and missed him so much, but there they were sitting here locking lips. Micah saying she wants them to kiss her again and she also talks about how tayshawn looked better then zach. This book is definitely sending me mixed signals. Micah really starts to bore me when she talks about being a werewolf and her transformation it all sounds stupid and this makes me not want to read anymore.

Liar

The book liar amazed me I thought it was going to boring the way it started off but it’s the total opposite. The main character Micah is kind of funny to me even though she’s a compulsive liar she makes my skin craw waiting to see what she’s going to lye about next. The way her and Zach got together was kind of weird and its own little romantic way. It seem like he was closer to Micah more then he was to his girlfriend Sarah if Micah’s really even is telling the truth about them dating .I can’t really tell if she’s telling the truth about her and Zach because she lies so much I’m starting to believe her, but I hope she is because her and this crybaby Sarah girl feuding is stirring up a lot of curiosity and me. Sarah Zach’s real girlfriend is a big cry baby and gets on my nerves, but its fun because she constantly keeps asking Micah if she messed around with Zach when she really already knows because big mouth Brandon bust them out. Also Sarah’s character sounds very caddy and bratty the opposite of Micah’s character she’s poor and mixed and doesn’t fit in any where she goes. This makes me wonder what attracted Zach to her sense he supposedly is the jock of the school. I think the book is very interesting and I can’t wait to get deeper into the book so I can figure out how Zach was murdered and who murdered him.

Nervous

The main character of nervous is worthy of praise and criticism because of her different personalities (MPD). Jon is the one who is worthy of praise because she went to college in got a degree in accounting, she also has a very good job and is good at what she does. She also owns her own car and has her own apartment that she paid for herself. Her alter Jude on the other hand is worthy of criticism because she’s a very rude, obnoxious and nasty person. She had plans on taking over Jon’s life for good so she decided she needed a job sense she wasn’t the one who went to college to be an accountant and she thought it was a boring job anyway. So she decided she wanted to be a stripper, so she went to the strip club and tried out to be a stripper by stripping for the owner. She has sexual intercourse with any and everybody she meets. She also was the cause of Jon and her first boyfriend ever almost breaking up because she was jealous of Jon’s relationship so she talked very nasty to him and told him Jon never want to talk/see him again. She also was the cause of her parents’ divorce she had a hooker come to their door on thanksgiving and act like her father’s mistress so after that her dad and mom never spoke again. I feel sorry for Jon because she was never able to leave life on her on or make her own decision and her life.

Nervous

I have been reading this book called nervous it’s the best book I have ever read so far. It’s about a girl named Jon who has (MPD) multiple personality disorder. Jon’s alter started to appear when she was and the first grade. She always was quiet and keep to her self because the kids  bullied her, until one day she was in the playground at school and a couple of girl started picking on her and tried to take her lunch money of course Jon didn’t do anything but sit there and cry because she was scared and had low self esteem. Until all of a sudden she blacked out and her alter who goes by the name of Jude came to protect her. Jude slipped into the restroom where the girls who were bulling Jon were and she beat them up making sure she put one of them into the hospital. From then on the black outs continued as she got older it even ruined her parents marriage she was the cause of there divorce and more mysterious thing that occurred that she couldn’t even remember.  The text stir up a lot of curiosity in me because you never know what her alter would do next to ruin this young women life. It was some very disturbing parts and this book that also made me mad like when her alter/other personality would make her have sexual intercourse with strangers and when she would appear back from her black outs she would be and strange places, or when she would take a shower and would fell and smell the scent of a men even though she had never and her own body talked a to a men or been and a relationship with a man to even experience sexual intercourse because she was to nervous to talk to people period.  So it gave her a bad reputation as a woman so she tried to seek help by going to a psychiatric specialist. The text also had me curious about what cause her to have multiple personality disorder. From reading this book I learn that( MPD) is a very serious disease that can cause some a person to displays multiple distinct identities or personalities (known as alter egos or alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment so never judge a person by its cover.
