"I do not see a time when the world does not resemble George Orwell's view in Animal Farm, though I do wish we would defy his vision."

In the spirit of Harry Potters last movie...

I feel it is needed to read through the books again. After I replace book four, which has disappeared a while ago and have lost hope in finding the culprit who took it. Also, after I finish reading the small stack of books for my class. I know these posts about what I'm "going" to read kinda suck. But I gotta post somethin', Right? So anyways, look forward to that! And hopefully, I will be more faithful to this commitment I have created for myself called The book Journal now that things seem to be calming down.

Tricks by Ellen Hopkins

ANOTHER great book by this incredible woman! Funny thing is, I'd already read it. Just didn't know because I didn't own in, but I'm pretty happy that I read it again. It goes through 5 separate teenagers lives, who for varying reasons start "turning tricks." Some choose it for the money, some enter the profession unwillingly. These 5 teenagers of both sex's struggle with other things as well, such as drugs, gambling, love, family, and sexuality. Some of them meet in person, some of them are only connected by living in the same city or using the same escort service. But though their stories are different, they are the same. I also really like that before each persons section in the book, there are actual poems that sometimes give insight to what is coming next.
