One of the themes I found through out the book was courage. Precious is faced with many internal struggles through out this book. First being molested by her father and having not one but two children by him and being abused by her mother. I think that this is why Precious reacts the way she does when people try to help her. She doesnt know what a good person is, or when they have good intentions.
She has been through so much physically, mentally and emtionally. Being abused by both her parents her whole life has lead her to lash out in ways towards others. Precious shows courage by dealing with all of this. Even though the situation is lousy, it could be worse.
