Although the subject matter was based on the relationship between a father and daughter, it was like a breath of fresh air in comparison to the subject matter in last week’s reading. Remarkably, I found myself racing to the end, like a roaring locomotive, to see if my anticipated ending would come true. As a mother to a daughter as opinionated and strong mined as Sarah, and a great white hunter and NRA advocate for a husband, oh boy can I relate to her memoir.…

    There is a quote by LeAlan’s sister Janell that is a great example of how, “ Well there’s a lot of people out there whose mommas just don 't care. They don 't give them money, and I feel if they have to sell drugs to get stuff they need... but I do think that the kids out here selling drugs should be able to do something to get them a little extra money. Because some of them might be too young to get a regular job at Mcdonald’s”(63). Since a lot of people have no money and have no parents to rely on, people start resorting to other things such as selling drugs, robbing others at gun point, or just flat out stealing.…
