Cast buddies stay together?

Killing Time in Crystal City by Christ Lynch page 150

Real Hustlers don’t sleep, we takin naps- as the real hustler that I am I took one too many naps this week which meant I didn’t have as much time to complete my reading goal but on another note I was told this week “Reading is for rich people” so its pretty evident what that quote has opened my eyes to.

Recently within Killing Time in Crystal City, KiKi the main mamenso had a flashback to him being at home, mainly hanging out with his old best friend Jasper. Everytime there is a flashback from Jasper it is always comical as Jasper literally only d!%*’s(Male body part often referred when someone is insulting someone else) on KiKi (Jasper is the one that also coincidently gave KiKi the name KiKi) just about everything in their everyday lives, such as KiKi and his relationship with his father. There was this one part in the book where KiKi and Jasper were walking down the train tracks and it reminded me of walking on the train tracks ‘in the Good Ole RVA where I was born and raised’ with Tucker Fitzhugh, just walking and hoping we don’t get run over but with no real destination to go.

Killing Time in Crystal(Meth) City

Inside of this novel a young man, KiKi ran away from his father who didn’t seem to put any consideration of KiKi in the choices he made concerning both of their lives. KiKi finally got tired and annoyed with the first mistake- choosing to live with his father and then finally trying to connect with his father. KiKi runs away to his uncles house in Crystal City and learns to live on his own at the same time making new friends trying to make a new beginning.

How might someone else react in a situation with their family? Do you think you would act in a similar manor? Can you block everyone out of your life as easily as KiKi did?

I believe the author is trying to express his childhood within this novel, or at least help answer some questions he could never answer. In a way this novel should spark controversy or conversations concerning the actions someone might make when in a time of discord.

Do you want to be a successful man?

Hello my following readers. It's book talk time. Continued from last week, I read two chapters of 'Outliers' written by Malcolm Gladwell in my precious spare time. In fact I read more than two Chapter, but I haven't finished the third one, So lets talk about the content in those chapters. Author tells me that family background has a significant impact on people's future life. A middle class family encourage their child talk to people, and make interaction to people. For example, they would interrupt an adult when they feel something is wrong, or ask adults for assistance. To the contrast, child born in a poor family seems more submissive. They tend not to cause any problems and they hardly complain about the service they get. When their leader made a wicked decision, they do not resist but suffer the misfortune. 

There is one thing worthy everybody to consider about, is making effort will eventually pay you a successful career? Or luck is the primary factor? But how do you define luck? Born in a rich family? Get a chance to work in a great company? Find gold mine in your backyard? 

I do not know, you tell me.

By the way, for me, be able to study at CCS is my luck.
