I enjoyed many things about the book. I enjoyed when she was everywhere in San Diego, Chula Vista and Los Angeles. How she went through a lot of things like drugs, gangs, and prostituing. She actually became a lawyer after everything what happened to her. That`s showing that anybody could become someone important , even a bum could become what they want to. She used a lot of different drugs and she didn`t even went crazy because a lot of people go crazy with a lot of drugs. She didn`t and she used a lot of drugs so I actually admire her because I`ve had uncles who died because they need drugs and some because they had too many. I didn`t enjoy where they rape her the first time that the lady knew everything what was happening to her. I hated that part i can`t belive how mean people can be to children. When they woul take her to do " cheerleading practices" imagine how did she feel in those moments because when she writes it it sounds like she got use to it. How she would jump on a car and let them do what they want to do to her. I think all the raping and the hitchhiking is sad. I don`t know I think that`s sad .

The Kumeyaay Tribe
- The Spanish were naming indian groups they were 25,000 to 30,000 natives a new name it`s Disegueno.The old name was Kumeyaay.
- The Diseguno ate lots of diffrent foods they hunted small game like rabbits, picked wild fruits, berries and their staple acorns.
- They had three groups of people divided into three bands they were Ipai, Tapai and Kamia.
- The Spanish did convert in Christianity they use the soldiers to subude them.
- In November 4 and 5 in 1776, the Kumeyaay surrounded Mission San Diego de Alcala they set fire to its wooden structures and attacked a small contingent of Spanish.
- Kumeyaay currently 20,000 people live in San Diego County.
- Women tattooed their chins, foreheads, cheeks, arms and their breast. Men would tattoed their legs and would paint sometimes their faces.
- Women would wear willow bark skirts,and men would not wear clothing they would only wear agave belts for the tools. In winter they would wear rabbit fur blanket.
- They would know how to make weaving fine and thightly stiched baskets, they would wear it as hats. They used those things for covering their heads and for processing food.
- They could see their aircrafts in Cuyamaca State Park, they reconstructed the village.
- I believe is history that they should know about, like mexican history they rarely talk about it and I like it so I`m sure my daughter Pamela would like to know it, because were mexicans and we have to learn about this .history
