Beautiful Boy vs. Tweak

            In the book Beautiful Boy by David Sheff, it tells a story about a fathers fight through his sons drug addiction. It is a very touching book, and it is very hard to think about someone going through so much in their lives. It was really amazing to compare the book Beautiful Boy, to the book Tweak  by Nic Sheff. Tweak is a book that Nic wrote about his own drug addiction. It was breathtaking to read these books back to back, because when one thought that another had given up on the other, I would think to myself, if you only knew what the other person was thinking. 

            One way that you can see every one's different points of view in the different book is how the dad is always wondering about what Nic is doing all the time. But if you read Tweak, you would know what he was doing,whether he was dead or alive, and that was really interesting. It was really interesting to see how the different books connected, and how some important moments were important for both David and Nic
             Another way that the books fit together is when you see the same scene from a different perspective.  For example both in the book Tweak and in the book Beautiful Boy, both David and Nic experience the moment when Karen is driving after Nic. Nic feels fear and sorrow and David feels pain and disappointment.
             It is very interesting how, you can get two thing out of one moment. It made me think about how, people say "always look on both sides of the argument" this is an amazing example of that.
