I have never done or sold drugs. I’m basically the definition of a good girl. But even though I haven’t done any of those things, I have felt pain. And so have they. It’s one of the few things everyone has in common. Weather it be physically or mentally. Jemeker had a lot more pain than me, but I can understand some of her inner battles. I also found no connections with any other book, because I haven’t read that many memoirs, and I’m just starting to read more books meant for adults. This book reminds me of some current drug issues we are having in today’s world. This story started in the 1980’s, but there are still big time drug dealers out there. I believe that this story will always be relevant

    TITLE (HOOK)GIVING UP Short stories are put together in a way that the reader can find meaning on what is being unsaid more then what is being said, allowing the reader to read in between the lines and think critically. Short stories compared to novels have less content, therefore making it more difficult to find the meaning, but with the use of elements of fiction one can effectively grasp as much information as possible. One common theme for “Tall Tales from the Mekong Delta” by Kate Braverman and “Aurora” by Junot Diaz” is destructive relationships and drug influence. The authors of Tall Tales and Aurora use characterization and figurative language to interconnect the thought that when undesirable temptations are displayed to human kind, it can lead to bad decisions and no self-control of the inner self that ultimately lead to physical/verbal abuse and drug use. Characterization is a fundamental piece of a story, allowing the readers to create their own perspective and interpretation of the character.…
