HoW cRaZy!

After reading "a plague of tics" I was pretty much speechless. I thought the whole story was so interesting in how the author made it feel so real that you were almost inside of his head. He let you get inside of his head as a child with all of those tics and what went on. His brain always telling him to go lick a light switch or say something outloud. That would be aweful going through school all those years and doing those tics; not only were they the same tics from the previous year but they also deveolped into different ones.

It made me made that during the whole time the parents just seemed to ignore his tics. They would get mad at him sometimes but for the most part they turned a cheeck to it. Whenever a teacher would come to the house to talk about his behaviors and tics, his mother would be a charmer and offer them drinks and stories to make the teacher understand that it wasnt his fault and to not hold him late or back at all.

It didnt talk about his parents trying to get him help at all! How could you let your chid go through with all of that without checking with a doctor if there was anything you could do to help him. In college when he started to smoke all of his tics went away! That was crazy to me how something like smoking could subdue all of the tics. It was a weird and crazy ending to a great story. It just bothered me how his parents didnt take him to any doctors or anything to see if they could help him.

Overall a really interesting story that onced I started the first page I couldnt stop. The author did a really detailed job of letting the readers inside of his head as a child that suffered these tics growing up.
