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.
