Push

What is this book suggesting about themes like power, abuse, and survival?
The book Push is a very powerful book. The three themes power, abuse and survival play a huge role throughout the entire book. Precious was abused her entire life. Not only physically but mentally and emotionally also. Power and survival comes into play when she has to fight for everything in her life. She wants to give up and not be here but with Ms. Rain pushing her, she has to fight to survive with having a child at 12 and not having anyone there for her while she grew up and getting abused by her father. Everyone knew what was going on but no one said anything so for her to move forward in a sense is like her surviving. She has the power to do something with her life and not end up like her mother and grandmother and not let her mother get to her head and make her feel like she is nothing and she can't do anything good. Precious wants to get out of the vicious cycle of getting abused and feeling that hurt that her mother and grandmother put onto her.
