Just Kids 1-50

So, I have already finished this story.  I read it while I was up in Wisconsin for the weekend.  We stayed at a friend’s cabin in Green something....I don't know, it was near Madison. The house was really cool, it resembled the homes from the blog post we had to make earlier in the year. When you walked inside there was a big branch hanging from the ceiling with a bunch of ornamental objects dangling as well. They even had a music collection from around the world. It was pretty cool. While there we went to a food co-op store (It would be cool if we had one here) and the farmers market in Madison. Later on we went Morel hunting with the whole group, I guess we went pretty deep in the woods because Austin ended up with a tick and so did my sister. It's actually a funny story, because my sister was upstairs getting checked for ticks when we found on her arm. She started screaming "GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF!!!," So I grabbed it of her and flushed it down the toilet, it wasn’t to deep so it was easy to remove. To end the weekend we ended up playing Apples to Apples (there wasn’t a Helen Keller Card ) and then I ended up sick so that’s why I was not at school today!

Okay so the story starts off with a brave a tom boyish kind of girl named Patti. When she was still young her family moved to New Jersey where she spent the rest of her childhood as a outsider. She end up becoming pregnant at the early age of 19 by a younger guy. She gave the baby away, while in labor her nurses were very cruel calling her Dracula’s wife and a bunch of other crap. She worked at a factory for a while and went to college for a bit, but both didn’t seem to work out for her. She decided to move to New York City and her family seemed to support her. When she got there she was pretty much homeless and she hung out with a man who was a Jimi Hendrix look alike but a couple of days later he vanished. Later on she got a job at a bookstore where she had to sneak in the back to sleep (She still was homeless). Then along came Robert...and that’s where we are going to end it.

Interesting book.
