Glass By Ellen Hopkins

            The book glass is an interesting book that shows you a life of a teenage girl after being pregnant and a life of drugs showing you that how hard you try to stop the more you want it. But I also think that this is a call to action and bare witness because this book is discussing a girl who was pregnant and how girls who are pregnant  at a young age would mess their future up and would end up being a struggling parent and also for their child. 

     This is bearing witness because in the book and authors thoughts this was based off a true stories that I think would be really hard to talking and even write about as a book. The book explains how when you are doing drugs you seem to screw things up for yourself and the people that are around you trying to protect you from doing these things. Kristina is one of the main characters in my book, and she is having a struggling life with a baby and doing drugs. For her trying o stop is a very difficult thing for her because she has done it before, but she doesn't want to do it. but when reading about how she just gives into it is just pathetic because after all that hard work trying to stop you can't stop to think oh wait I have a baby to take care of, but i Guess that Bree her other half is just talking over and she is letting it happen. 

        So far in the book Kristina is trying to get a job but not to support her son Hunter just the money to get drugs and to me I think that she is doing something so stupid at least make the money to support her son a her family but i guess a life of drugs is more important to her than family. In the end I don't thing are going to work out for her so far she is just making everything more worse for her and her family.
