Push post 1

I am very interested to see what happens in Push. I enjoy the fact that Sapphire writes Push spelling how Clerrice (Preccious) would write. I believe the author does this to show progression in her learning. I also believe that Push received its title becuase when Preccious gave birth to her first child the EMS said "push" I believe that the significance of the title is to show the struggles that Clarice is going through and how she pushed forward to get to where she wants to be. In the beginning of the novel it broke my heart to read that a sixteen year old has to deal with being sexually abused by her father. I dont really know why Clarrice doesnt want to learn. Clarrice is very hostile i believe becuase of her home life has alot to do with how she acts towards others. Clarrices mother isnt not supportive and she relferred to her daughter as a slut and horrible names for being pregant with her fathers baby. I believe that with such an unstable home life that it is impossible to fully live up to your capibilities. I believe that through out the novel we are going to see inspiring situations where preccious pushes through and overcomes the odds. When Preccious was younger she was made fun of and called laughing ugly. I believe that preccious takes what others say about her to heart and that is truley why she doesnt want to learn. I believe preccious's pholosophy is, if you dont try then you cant fail. I think we will see many diffrent changes through Clarrice throughout the novel.
