Representaion Conducive To Books A New Penny

Carey and Hank just moved into a two-room trailer while he attends the state college and she stays home taking care of their son Jody. Hank is studying science while working part-time as a janitor in one of the buildings. This leaves Carey home alone a lot with Jody, who sleeps most of the time. Carey dreams of becoming a beautician, a gardener, a botanist. She dreams so many things up but always comes to the same conclusion that they are out of her reach. Unlike all of the other students around her she isn’t enrolled in college, heck she still hasn’t finished high school. Carey dropped out after finishing her junior year in high school so she could have her son. She doesn’t really want to go back to school either, she missed her chance, she’s a wife and a mother now and none of the other high school students would look at her in the same way. But life as a wife and mother proves more difficult than she expected. Without a high school diploma she can’t become a beautician, she can’t become a botanist, and she sure as heck couldn’t make it as a head gardener without her education either. Faced with the responsibilities of a tight budget, considering re-enrolling in high school, helping her husband out around the house, taking care of her son, and working to try to earn money Carey finds herself trying to balance everything out and figure out what she really wants in life. Does she want an education? Does she want to stay at home and take care of her son day in and day out with nothing else to do? Does she like feeling like she’s a ‘dummy’ while her husband and all of her friends are getting an education? The questions pop up as she deals with the realities of life and seeing that marriages isn’t all she thought it would be and getting an education maybe isn’t the worst thing she could do.
Set back in the sixties or seventies this book talks about the issues of the role of women, from a young sixteen-to-seventeen year old mother’s perspective. She’s way young to drop out of high school, get married, have a son, juggle a job, managing her house, and trying to figure out what she wants in life, but that’s exactly how things are going. It’s an interesting insight into the dilemmas that face a young girl and her stubborn attitude of education, mothering, and keeping a clean home. I thought it was pretty good, it has a different tone and sense of humor since its set at a different time period and the views that the main character have are a little hard to get used to. She sees her role so one-dimensionally that it gets annoying as she just sees her role as a mom and a wife and has trouble accepting the idea that education is something she needs in her life. Overall it was well written and I think it gives insight into the difficulties that a young couple can have when they choose to stick it out and make the best of what they have.

Criticize Out Of Books A New Penny

A young couple's everyday struggle but that said 2 of the most annoying characters on the planet!

Love is Never EnoughBy: Bianca BradburyWhy did I pick it up?This book was required for my class and recommended by my teacher. I also immediately thought of a friend of mine when I saw the cover and laughed myself silly. The story follows a young seventeen year old girl and her daily life as a young mother and wife. Her husband Hank and she are broke, living in a trailer, while he attends college. They also have a baby named Jody. Carey feels bored with her life and she and Hank are beginning to

This was a cute book. A little outdated so far as reality goes, but it deals with some very real situations. It addresses teen pregnancy, dropping out of high school, family dynamics, and young motherhood- all seen through the eyes of a very immature 17 year old. I might use this book in the classroom. It is from a teenager's perspective but it addresses some very adult topics. This isn't a literary goldmine, but it's a good read for young adults who may want to start reading again. I would hand

I read this book for my "before 1960's" novel. For a book written over 40 years ago, it was not too bad. The book was very clean, which was appreciated. However, I could not get over how much Carey whined about the daily tasks she had to complete. Looking from the point of view of a young adult, I could see that the things she was going through would be different and maybe somewhat difficult for a seventeen year old. I believe that this book shows young adults the importance of abstinence and

I really only read this to fulfill a class requirement and I enjoyed it in small doses. It shows the struggles of teen pregnancy and how times haven't changed as much as we think. It also shows us problems that can arise when you marry before you're ready. A good read to anyone who has gone through a marriage too soon. Very informative but still glad I live in today's generation. Warnings: Deals with pregnancy Recommended to readers 14 and up, and to those who can relate to those entering

I liked this book a lot. I know that this book would be a great hit to anyone who takes the time read it. I picked this book because the title was an instant catch. Love is NEVER enough. The version I got was old and falling apart and the pages were yellowed, but I managed to read it and get into the story. Good story about teens and how pregnancy and early marriage is not such a good thing! Really brings out the hardships that can come from a rushed marriage. I would recommend this book to

Ok, I liked this book. I KNOW. It's something I totally would have really liked back in my high school days.It's definitely dated and it's definitely dated. With that said, I think it's okay to look back on a book that was written in the early 70's and appreciate where it's coming from. It hits on a lot of big issues for young girls and education and I think it did a good job. I would give this to any YA who didn't really find a lot of value in their education. I'd also give it to any wedding
