Book post 4

I'm still reading the book Kasher in the Rye.  A lot has happened in the past couple chapters.  Moshe has gotten a ticket for vandalism and spraying graffiti.  He also has started using harder drugs like inhalents and acid.  He has begun selling drugs too.  "'I'm fucked, man.  That kid  Justin had a fucking heart attack.'  It seemed hard to believe.  This tiny piece of paper had somehow short-circuited a kid's fragile little coronary system."  (Kasher 122)  Moshe didn't know that acid wasn't good for people with heart problems, and had accidentally sold acid to someone with a messed up heart.  I've heard a lot of things about how bad acid is for you, like how some of the chemical can get stored in your back and when you crack your back a certain way you release the chemicals which can make you trip years after you originally took acid.  Moshe just doesnt seem to know when to quit.  He is messing up his life more and more.  He talks down on people older than him saying they are losers who won't get anywhere in life, but the sad thing is that it doesnt seem like he is going to go anywhere in life either at this rate.  Moshe has a lot of growing up to do if he wants to turn his life around.
