I really enjoy the photos in the book two or Three Things I know for Sure. I think the pictures help tell the story of her life just by looking at them. Ever since I was younger I always believed a picture could tell you everything that you want to know. I think that throughout the book with each picture you saw a new part of Dorothy’s life. You see her growing up as a hopeful child and then throughout the years you see how her facial expressions as well as her wardrobe change a lot as her life progresses. I also thing the “two or three things I know for sure” sections tell a lot about Dorothy’s philosophies. “Two or three things I know, two or three things I know for sure and one of them is that to go on living I have to tell stories, the stories are the one sure way I know to touch the heart and change the world. I think that this is the main purpose of Dorothy Allison’s book. I believe she told the story to instill leasons upon the rest of the world. I believe she wanted everyone to see that her life wasn’t easy. “Two or three things I know for sure.” I believe is an idea Dorothy Allison wanted to show her readers that she only know two or three things but when she knew them she knew them and she wanted to share her knowledge with the world not only to tell her story but to change other people. This autobiography is very relatable in many ways. This book allows you to relate to family, hardships, good times, as well as bad times this book shows you that, like Dorothy, you can go against the odds and against society. “Two or three things that I know for sure, and one of them is that I would rather go naked than wear the coat the world has made for me.”
