 My  Favorite Moment
It wasn't just once that we did this,
but once every week,
at the end
of the week we would,
go out
and buy a hundred tacos,
we would just share,
just me and your uncles,
we would eat till we were filled,
it was great,
"sigh"
those were some of the best days,
when we were,
Together.....

Coming of Age novel: The kid by Sapphire

So far in the book "The Kid" by Sapphire also the author of Push my main character is already stacked with problems from being raped by a Brother in a school that took him St.Ailanthus, not only that but he also raped children. But that could have started from the influence of Brother Samuel, who raped the poor main character in his office. Not only can that influence my main characters bad behavior, but the early death of his mother Precious Jones whose cause of death was of aids, and his father who is not only his father but also the father of his mother. How i am able to know that he is influenced by this is because of the fact that whenever people talk of the death of his mother and how it's cause was by aids and how his father was also his mothers father. He denies all of it because of the fact that he didn't want to accept the truth, he thought that his parents didn't die that way he thought they died was not the way he wanted his parents to die so in his mind he created his own version of their death his mother was assassinated by somebody and his father died in war. this is the death he managed to trick himself into that they had and he argues with everyone who tells him otherwise.

Even when Abdul is left to confront all of this unspeakable violence, his past, and all the bad in his heart in this novel Abdul still is determined to claw his way to adulthood and an identity he can stand behind which is a important problem for him in this book he has identity issues he can never truly identify who he really is he goes from J.J to Abdul and other names throughout the book which causes him to face himself with identity issues of who he really is.
