Reading Response #1

Pages 1-42
Dear readers,

I have started reading A Piece Of Cake  by Cupcake Brown. This amazing book has laid on my dusty old wooden floors for months. It never really crossed my mind about actually picking up the book. Well I'am extremely happy that I did. This book is full of hustling, drug dealing, gangbanging and whats a book with out a little scandalous prostitution to keep the book that much more interesting.
Durning the time that it takes me to read this book I will be taking notes about what my opinion is or if I have any questions. My first question to myself  is, why did Cupcake not take Larry with her when she ran away from her abusive foster parents? I believe that she had done this to leave her less responsibility so that she could focus on her self. She most likely didn't know what was going to happen to her durning her fast decision to leave. At the end of the day I believe that she did the right thing by leaving Larry behind.
My very last question is why did Cupcake try to prostitute her self after she had been raped day after day but her foster brother? My first thought when i read this was why doesn't she get a real job? Well Cupcake is only 11 years old. Clearly she doesn't want to go back in to foster care , probably because she would get sent back to where she ran from in the first place. On the other hand she really had no choice. This was the only way that she thought she could survive on her own

RAMBLING AUTOBIOGRAPHY

I was young, just nine years old when my parents went there sepreat ways. Crushed at. A young age I became alone and depressed . I felt like I was nothing with out my mom and my dad together . Bullied till the age of 14 ,  I became strong . Molding myself from what other people thought about me was who i wanted to become. Most thought that i was a happy hyper girl with ADHD. Don't get me wrong I was all of those things,just emotionally damaged. These were things that I couldn't change , but the question is did I really want to?
