My aunt

As I read the story it actually engaged me more than I really thought. One of the reasons why I knew it would especially attract my attention because of its title. Being a aunt myself I totally got my mind ready to hear a story of course of someones aunt. This story hit home with me a sense because of my relationship with my very own aunt, aunts always play out as so many roles to their nephew or niece. I always find myself playing the role of aunt,big sister, the one barking out orders,giving advice like a best friend or just showing them examples of what they should and shouldn't do. So as she talks about her aunt in this way I can see how she looks at her aunt in all her may ways. It was also really great reading a book that was located in my surroundings especially a place Ive been before, this story showed the side of NY (Rikers Island) that I haven't read about,
