Sketches first Quarter


So i've been reading this book called sketches. I found it in my shelf filled with books and it revolves about a girl named Dana and how she ended up being a street person and along with her experiences from the first 55 pages I just read. She has two other friends that she hangs out with, a girl named Ashley and a large guy named Brent. It all begins with Dana going home and was sure of being late, so she takes multiple rides and before she knows it, she ends up  being 30 miles away from home. She said that she couldn't even go home as she can't trace back her steps. She is afraid of calling her parents to pick her up because she is afraid of the consequences (or at least that's what i think). she stays a day by herself and meets her two friends, Ashley and Brent. She is hanging around with them for three weeks and possibly for more time. Also, one last thing about this book. There is a part where Dana is begging for money(her, Ashley, and Brent do it to manage in the streets) and she goes to this business man who pulls out two twenty dollar bills and says that he knows she is a beggar. He then proceeds to tell her that if she wanted the money, she had to do something nasty for a couple minutes and even says, " i like em young". This is where it ticks me off because afterwards Dana begins to shout "Pervert!" and the police shows up and the man blames it on her! They both get away scott free since the police officer didn't want to deal with the problem. Aside from this, the story is really good and i'll definitely recommend this book even though i'm at page 55 out of 226.
