Pigman and me
The novel was a great example of how most young kids grow up in today’s society. Many kids influence either being raised in a single parent household, living in a small town, or being bullied by mean people. The young Zindal explains to the reader his life while growing up in Travis, N.J. He lived with his mother, sister Betty, and the Vivona family. The vivona family consists of Connie and her twin boys. The story begins when Paul’s mother had got evicted for not paying rent at their last apartment. The family had to experience all of these difficulties because their dad ran off with another woman and did not leave them anything, to help them survive. When his mom meat Connie, she had a few dollars to her name and his mom was a good person of talk, and this how they ended up in Travis. This was supposed to be a change for the better in their lives, but instead it ended up being just like everywhere else they lived. This was due to his mom’s attitude and hatred toward men. Now once again she was making promises of this home being better than all the rest.
