The book, Right Here Right Now, is a very interesting book. One story in part one that really caught my attention was, “playing solitary”. This story is about a young child that didn't have great parents. The father was locked up and the mother would be out at the club till the sun came up, and thereafter. The young kid would have to pour cereal and sit in the closet and watch tv. The child called this “solitary”. The reason I chose this story is because my best friend had a life similar to this. His mother would be out all day and all night and would leave him home all day, alone. He would have to walk to school at the age of 10 and wouldn't even have clean clothes to wear to school.
