I disliked the story, actually I hated the story, I didn't find it interesting at all.

The issues the book made me feel and think about where teen drinking, smoking, the use of teenage drug use and sex. I say this because throughout the whole book it seemed like drugs, alcohol and sex were the main source of the story which made me think the author was supporting teenage drinking, drug use and sex. I say this because the author didn’t include the consequences and effects that come with drinking, drug use and underage sex throughout

While she may only be 11 years old, her manipulative and vengeful personality allows her fool her Uncle and later turns a whole town against each other. She is really a master of manipulation and trickery, and she gets herself into affairs without punishment and has threaten all who oppose here. Abigail really is the devil in human form.
In this essay I will be discussing how Ai Weiwei and Felix Gonzalez-Torres have engaged with social or community based practices throughout their artwork and how their works relate to earlier movements of socially engaged art.
