Claireece Precious Jones Research Paper

The story that I am telling you today is about Lita Morgan. A little girl who was adopted at the age of two by a cruel woman, who turns into a torturous nightmare in her childhood and adolescence. Christine Morgan forced her daughter from 4 years old to countless of cruel situations which broke her little soul and body. The abuse included: make her drink bleach from a cloth used to clean toilets, holding her head under the bath water until she felt breathless, and the constant threat to kill her.

Precious’ abuse started as an infant when she was molested and raped by her father as her

Next, briefly introduced is the relationship with her grandmother Tootsie. Not much is known about Tootsie other than she cares for Precious’s daughter Mongo who suffers with down syndrome. Looking at the way Tootsie reacts to Mary one can say she does not agree with how she is raising Claireece. (Magness et al, 2009) Unfortunately, her grandmother never reported any abuse or lying that Mary had been doing. Although she tries to inconspicuously let the social worker know there is no food, Tootsie never says anything. This single act could have changed Precious’s life often by not saying anything, we allow problems to continue to happen.

Claireece Precious Jones lives in an impoverished part of New York City with her mother, Mary and her daughter, Mongo. Mary stays in the apartment, smoking cigarettes and watching television while barking orders for Precious to tend to her needs. Their relationship is a deeply troubled one.

In the movie Precious, a 16-year old girl named Claireece Jones also known as Precious is physically, sexually, and verbally abused by her parents. Precious has one child and is now pregnant with her second child which causes her to be kicked out of school. She transfers to an alternative school. Precious is illiterate; however, she learns to read, write, and to gain self-respect from her teacher at the alternative school. In the end, she becomes a woman, learning to stand up for herself and she raises two healthy children. There are three different types of abuse Precious faced from her parents. An example of how Precious mother physically abused would be when her mother would get out the chair and beat her daughter by throwing things at her, because she did something minor or nothing at all. Precious mother verbally abused her daughter by calling her “stupid, fat, and she will amount to nothing”. An example of how Precious father sexually abused her would be he raped ever since she was three years old, impregnated her with two children, and he also gave her HIV. The movie faced several biological and environmental issues in the family. One example of a biological issue faced in the movie would be when Precious was hungry, needed water, and sleep. She needed to have this because she was pregnant with her second child. In the movie, it shows Precious goes into a restaurant, to order some food, and runs out without paying. She stole the food because she was starving and her mom did not give her any money. An environmental issue would be Precious was from Harlem, New York. During that time, Harlem was a city in poverty, so she grew up with hardly any money. The income her mother got from her welfare check, she did not give Precious anything.

Clemmie Sue Jarvis, an elderly vivacious pig farmer lives in Wrongberight, a farming hamlet on the eastern shores of Virginia.

The crowd is cheering her on, she can see the checkered flag waving in the breeze, so she puts the pedal to the metal and the speedometer reaches 157mph. The sound of thunder in the distance quickly brings her back to reality. Moreover, to the fact that her rusty Chevy pickup, held together with hairpins, bubble gum, and duct tape, has a maximum speed of only 30mph.

In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for her second book titled, Annie Allen, which included 11 poems that entail Annie’s perceptions of discrimination against African Americans as she grows up. Gwendolyn Brooks was sitting in her dimly lit living room, which she had kept this way because she was struggling with money, when she found out she had won her Pulitzer. The next day multiple photographers and reports showed up at her house to question her about her recent achievement. She knew that when they went to plug in their equipment, nothing would work due to her lack of electricity. However, when they plugged everything in, all of it worked perfectly. Someone had been secretly paying her bills. This is a great example of life imitating Brooks’ art; she wrote mostly of people with everyday problems that were able to overcome them with the help of others.
