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?

Independence

By Anonymous
Independent I want to be more independent for my New Years resolution, because it’s hard for me to say no to someone or hard to be myself around other people. And it helps me find the real me and who I want to be instead of following what others do. This word connects to my life by helping me understand that, people can’t take control over you if you don’t let them. And it teaches my not to be as gullible and I become more bold and straight forward. This word means everything to me, it will help me get through in life and help me to find out what 8 want to be when I grow up. My first step to live this word is, whenever someone asks me to do something I don’t wanna do I’m gonna say no and that’s it, no excuses just no. Because if I continue letting people control me I won’t be able to do anything by myself. I’ll hold myself accountable by taking time to explore who I am and to take full control over myself overtime. This word connect to multiple areas of my life, one, because, yo...

Me and Only Me

By Anonymous
This quote would represent me in many ways, usually I'm a nervous wreck trying to talk in front of everyone and this quote had helped me. When I get up in front of everyone, all I think of is what if this goes wrong or what if I mess up. This quote represents me because I want to be motivated to help change the world, I'm in this club called MetoWe and we help raise money to help people in need around the world, and right now we're collecting cans to send to a food pantry to help people around our neighborhood for people who  can't provide food for themselves. Me and my mom we went through a time where we didn't have food at all but then she found out that there were food pantries and then we had about 7 in the house so we had got a lot of food.
