Push by Sapphire

1. This book is about a girl called Precious Jones. She was raped by her dad at the age of 12. Her mom beats her because her mom thinks Precious took her man. Precious is kinda like a slave at home. Precious moves to a different school when she is 17. She has her second kid which is from her dad again. After the kid is born she moves to a half way house because of her mom. Life starts to get good for her until her mom comes to visit her. She says that her dad died from AIDS and now she has it.

2. Her moms house is an apartment in Harlem. It is not in that good of shape. The school she goes to is pretty fancy is what I'm picturing. I'm picturing this building where you walk in and there is this big commons area and a few elevators.

3. Conflict- Precious and her mom always fight

4. I choose to read this book because I liked all the swearing in it. I usually cuss a lot so the I can get into a book like this.
