Push

The first time I read push I was 15 years old. While ive always read above my reading level , I found that the book is very intense. The book is written in the writing style of a 1st grader, but from the live of a highschool girl. This book deals with rape, incest, abuse & a young girls struggle to do better. The main character of the book has two children by her father. Her mother resents and hates her & abuses her because she has children by her father. Her mother makes her feel like a low life because she was raped by her father. Her mom tries to put her down by calling her names. Her youngest child has some type of down syndrome because of the incest. The book can sometimes be hard to read because of the way that it is written . Words are horribilly mispelled, and the sentences have no type of structure, but as the story progresses so Precious's writing. its good that the story is written this way because it shows how uneducated and how far behind she is. Her home environment is entirely to blame for this. Her mother doesnt care about her enough to care how she is doing in school, & all her teachers know her family situation so they just pass her , so she can become the next teachers problem.
