6/11/2023 0 Comments Push by sapphire review![]() ![]() When her father rapes her, he calls her a lot of obscene words. ![]() Push especially brings out the victim's point of view very well. There are many cultures where the woman is still blamed for a rape. When I read how Precious' mother blamed her for having sex with her husband, I was enraged. Reading Push was, in a way, a huge reminder to me of that one incident, the one that probably stripped off the fancy glasses from my irises. Several years ago, when I was still in high school and believed that although the world wasn't wholly good, it wasn't too bad either, I came across a news item of an eight-year old girl in a Middle East country, who was repeatedly raped by her father, and thus made pregnant as well. This one gesture from the teacher sets the path for Precious' desire to be free of her mother's clutches and make her own path. Then a teacher from her school begs her to attend a Higher Education Alternative / Each One Teach One school. She had her first child when she was twelve the child itself a victim of Down's Syndrome. As if that is any fault of hers, she is kicked out of her school and her mother verbally assaults her for "stealing" her husband. Sixteen-year-old Claireece Precious Jones is again pregnant.
