Dailyn Alvarez February 24, 2011 Book Review 2 For our Exploratory project we decide on reading The Running Scissors is a memoir written by the author Agusten Burroughts where in this case the author is the main character and he tells his childhood life throughout the story. The overview of his life as a child demonstrated me that he was put through a lot as he grew up he first lived with his mother who was obsessed with attention and a smoker and his father who an alcoholic professor. In which proves to me that Addiction deprives people of their social life and it affects people around them. His parents would constantly fight which led them to separation. Due to that, Augusten was moved to live with the Flench Family which brought a bizarre within in his life. In which I gain an understanding of how the title was relevant to the plot. As we heard the author speak as the main character in the story, gave it a much deeper meaning by being in his own perspective which was a better exploration for us within our topic. Throughout the course of reading this book we were able too well organized our argument that we wanted to make after having an understanding of how’s the life of those who are being affected by people that are deprive from their social life due to addictions. Based on his life we were able to se all this different aspects that were relevant to why he was going through all this and how he was being affected, by all the problems that were caused for him at such a young age. I liked this book because it gave us a well introduction that led us to our guiding question. Since in his case the parents were the example of how they deprived out of their social life by not giving much attention to their son putting him to the side. The sun having to deal with these addicted parents that love him but didn’t know how they were affecting him. After completing this book we got a better understanding of how addictions interacts into people and how they all have different tempters as they consume their needs or either develop their addiction. That’s how they entered the step of addiction, and due to that is how addiction leads them to deprive from their social life. As well as the people that are affected by addicts have different perspectives. This is why in this case of the book a big K-ause was dived into their home due to addictions because they brought many problems by both of the parents constantly fighting and afterwards separating. Which Agustn the one being affected by two addicts had to adjust to a new living that led him to new experiences at such a young age in which affect him throughout the years of his life, but overcame them by being tough and proved to us how his story was a perfect example towards our guiding question.
