Push

While waiting on I Can Do Bad By Myself to start I saw a preview for the movie Precious, that immediately caught my attention! At the end of the preview I saw that it was an adaptation from the book, Push. Needless to say I went out and purchased the book so I could read it before the movie opens in November.
When I first saw the book I initially noticed how thin it was, only 180 pages, so I thought to myself that this book must jump right in fairly quickly. Once I got to the first page, I then noticed that the book was being narrated by the main Character, Precious, who is illiterate. This took a while to get use to since the writing is phonetical and not grammatically correct. I got past this initial challenge only to end up putting the book down numerous times due to the shock of some of the situations this poor girl endured. In the end I felt shame, disgust,anger, and thankful all at the same time. What stood out the most for me is to never judge a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes.
