Readers response 4

I think the author wrote this book in poems and stories because it gets into the children's mind as high schoolers. It shows how they feel and when they read on open mike Fridays they really express there feelings. I think the title "Bronx Masquerade" fits the book because the word means to disguise and when you write poetry it makes perfect sense. My favorite poem so far in my book was the one by a student named Steven Ericson he called it "DOUBTLESS" Ericson really dug deep about how he felt as a young boy. He used rhyme, rhythm and repetition. He states at the end of the poem "REMEMBER:PACK YOUR DREAMS. THERE PORTABLE". That was a metophor and he was trying to get it in the readers mind that you have to keep your dreams no matter were you go.

For another example, a mother of one of my friends was on drugs and she changed by getting help and joined a rehab center for drug addicts. " Do people ever really change? I say it depends on the situation.

Election Reflection

The thing that made this election historic is that Barack Obama is an African American who ran for president.He is the first African American to win in the United States. I feel that Obama will keep his word when he says " the road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term , but America, i have never been more hopeful then i am tonight that we will get there. I promise you we as a people will get there." I believe him when he sayed that. He sound true.
