Hole in my Life
The book is a very interesting book and I think that the author of the book did a wonderful job at telling his story on his journey to becoming a successful author. The main think I like about the book is how the author managed to stay by his self during high school even though it was at places he did not want to stay. During the story the author had a lot of soul searching to do and finally at the end of the book, he finally knew what he wanted to do with his life as an author. Going to prison and hanging around with the type of people that has done more terrible crimes than the author gave him a wake up call and plus he had a lot of time on his hands to think about what he have done and the decisions he need to make to make his life better. Keeping a journal in prison was a good idea because everything that he thought of went into his journal and gave him a lot to write about. He also wrote about some of the situations that went on in prison that was kind of interesting to him or something he just didn’t understand. My favorite part of the book is when he was in prison and one of the guard was taking him to the hole and he said the only reason why a man would be taken to the hole is if he did something wrong. He said he couldn’t think of nothing that he have done to make the guard take him there at all. When they arrived to the part of the prison that the hole was located a butt naked man was already in there lying on a mattress. He was hollering that a light bulb was stuck in his butt. The guard asked how the light bulb got there and he said that it fell from the ceiling and went right in his butt and he couldn’t do anything. The author said he was kind of puzzled about the situation and couldn’t understand how that could happen. The guard told him to go get the doctor and tell the doctor to bring his things because they needed him in the hole to pull a light bulb out of the man’s butt. I think that was very weird and interesting at the same time. Overall, the book was very goodmy life
