Precious

Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire is a book about a overweight girl named Precious who got pregnant 2 times with her dad and her mother beats her because she ``had sex with her husband´´ and the mother treats her like a slave. The mother doesn’t think the school is good for her, Precious should just be home with her mother and be like a slave for her. The first time she got pregnant she was 12 years old and got a child with downs syndrome. The second child she got with her dad, she was 16 years old and got kicked out from her school because she was pregnant. Eventually it all will change when she got invited to an alternative school there she learns to write, read and knew some new friends and a nice teacher that will help her to stand up her self.

This book can really make you think a different way about the society because you can see how some people are living and after you have read this book it makes you thankful for all that you have and the nice people in your life. I really liked this book because it makes a really deep impression because she is fighting for her dreams in the darkest days their people are trying to bring her down and destroy her dreams. That’s the reason till why I would recommend this book to older teenagers and adults. The language in this book can be a bit strange because the characters are using many slang words so sometime you have to stop and think about that they really mean.
