All American Boys Book Talk!

By Anonymous
I just finished this book called All American Boys, It’s a novel created by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely. This book talks about something that happens in Chicago a lot and it’s a problem, this is a very relatable book and I can relate because it’s happened to me before but in a different way.


All American Boys is about this boy named Rashad and this boy name Quinn and something really horrible happens to Rashad before a party and the person who did the horrible thing to Rashad is actually Quinn’s admirer and something between the two happens because Quinn can’t stop thinking or talking about Rashad because what the person did was very wrong of him. My favorite part of this book is when everyone cares about Rashad and everyone goes out of their way to support Rashad in this incident. And when Rashad finds out a lot about his dad that he never said before to anyone.


Rashad is a nice boy, he would never do anything wrong, he is innocent and he never means to hurt anyone, he is African American and he has both of his parents. He joined this junior army group called the ROTC which his dad forced him to. Quinn, he’s a basketball player and he will go out of his way and no matter what. Quinn wants to follow after his dad because his father would do the same, and Rashad’s incident gave him a chance to do so.

I believe this book really changes perspectives of other people and teaches others a lesson about life. During this book I had learned so much because the “incidents” happen a lot in real life. I’m just glad it hasn’t happened to anyone i know or to me because it’s devastating to hear. But to hear about the incident you will have to read the book yourself, and if you do decide to read it or have already read it. Tell me what was your thoughts on the story? What would you do in this situation?

    What a great book blog, George! So much information, detail and personal connections. I appreciate your honesty and thoughtfulness. Just work on your editing and revisions - you had some grammar and run-on errors. See me if you want some help.

All Grown Up

By Anonymous
Where I would be in 10 years would be a cook. (I have back up jobs which are a building manager or a lawyer because they make lots of money.) When I'm all grown up I'll have a nice house with three of my dream cars, a Flex which is a car that can hold like 12 people I've been in one on the way to church carrying all the members. Another car would be a drop top Mercedes, I want a drop top because I like the wind blowing in my face on the expressway and it looks really awesome, I've been in a drop top car only once in my whole entire life. Lastly the car that I would want would be a 3 wheeled motorcycle because I don't know how to ride a bike so the 3 wheels would help. But, I'd love for my nice house to be fully furnished and have a big beautiful garden. A long time from now I see my self cooking for people in my own restaurant and living a normal life. Later on in life I would be living with my girlfriend because at 23 I would be too young for a wife even though

Life Experiences

By Anonymous
       All of the life experiences I've ever had taught me a lot. Including my 2 nephews being born. One  of my most joyful days happened on September 21st, 2013. I became an uncle! His name was Joshua and he was my sister's baby, but to get the baby out.... She needed a c-section which is where the doctors cut her open. At this time I was walking to school and it was nice and sunny outside with the wind whistling through the air, *Ding* it was a text from my mom... and it was a picture of my little nephew. My mouth opened up wide, I couldn't believe that I was an uncle, it felt like joy and excitement both punched me at the same time. During school I couldn't stop talking about how excited I was to become an uncle. But then something brought me back in time thinking about...... *Rewind 5 Months*      It was a cold cold day, I had grabbed my bag and went to school, but I forgot to grab something important and I ran out the door so my dad could take me to school.

I know, Minecraft...

By Anonymous
This book I read it’s called Quest for the Golden Apple. It starts out with a character named Phoenix. Phoenix is a miner, she lives with a whole lot villagers and she doesn’t know that she’s a miner. One day she goes out to explore the outside world. She is forbidden from going outside of the village because there are dangerous things out there. She and her villager brother go outside the border, and something happens to her brother. Which takes Phoenix out to the quest of a golden apple. It’s a long journey home. And on the way she finds a wolf that she has tamed to help her on this journey. My favorite part of this book towards the end is when her and her friends fight this witch, it was interesting. I advise the readers to read this book, if you play minecraft —I don’t but I used to— you’d like this book. It’s also a graphic novel so it’s easy to read.
