[ENGLISH 1A] The Color of Water TIQA

The Color of Water by James McBride is a rather sad story for a biography, instead of a rather upbeat, happy mood story. In the book, there are two point of views, both are first person, but in two different people's lives, Ruth McBride Jordan, and James McBride, the author and his mother.The book talks about the lives of the two characters and somewhat present day. "A few days later I was at work at the glass factory and the foreman, a German man, came over to me and told me I had a phone call. It was Dennis. He was calling from Aunt Mary's factory. He told me Mameh had just passed away." This is only a quote from the book, but there is a lot more depressing scenes within the book. For example, Ruth at a young age, had to give an abortion after having sex at a young age. Now onto James's story, he fought with an addiction to weed, alcohol, etc. He also flunked out of high school and became a member of a street gang. So this story does seem to be more depressing than expected.
