text Jimmy's World

By Karina Moreno Rojas

Jimmy's World, written by reporter Janet Cooke, is a powerful text which chronicles the life of a child only eight years old heroin addict for three. Shows the contradiction between the act of a child as an adult and the dreams and illusions of a small innocent example is when Jimmy raises drug dealer want to be when I grow up (at eleven) to buy a shepherd dog, a bicycle and a basketball ball.
Similarly, Jimmy's only interest in school is to learn math, just to be careful in its future business in selling drugs and all that you can sell to people.
The story is a snapshot of life as hurtful and damaging to live in ghettos, barrios and African Americans, which is a form of normal existence for those involved, although not necessarily know they are wrong.
Jimmy's world is full of drugs, easy money, prostitution and theft. It is truly amazing to read the dreams of a child related to the stockpiles of drugs, the story of his mother who was raped and held him as a result of such violation, which to forget the troubles of his life after pregnancy is addicted to heroin, keeping his vice $ 60 daily with shoplifting and prostitution.
However, what surprised me most was the description of Jimmy craving for the drug, their desperation to turn on and off his sword Star Wars, how it is injected heroin and when he forgets it all and enjoy this as if on a roller coaster (the child makes reference to the journalist about the feeling of getting high).
The research that the author makes is clear and important to contextualize the experience of Jimmy, extending such research on the drug called Golden Cresco, data offered by the Institute of Drug Abuse Howard University on the increase in drug use and statements of a physician from the same institution and a social worker.
is a short story worth knowing that not only explains the situation of living in black neighborhoods in America, but also reflects different experiences in the same story that raises awareness and amaze those who read.
