The Bronx Masquerade Character That I Relate To The Most

The Book that I am reading in class is that is The Bronx Masquerade. The book is about
different kind of kids that have serious relationships in school and that they have problems in school while they enter in The Bronx Masquerade. The types of students that I know so far are Davon, Tyrone, and Chackuna. What I know about Davon so far is that Davon like to read and write poems. The things that I know about Tyrone is that every time some one reads a poem or make a poem he always have to make a comment no matter what. And, the types of comments that Tyrone makes are good and respectful comments he makes. The other things that I know about Chackuna is that she is smart and she says that she isn't any type of women men think she is. I pretty like this book because this book is pretty Intresting and you can really relate your life with theres. I can relate with Davon the most because he likes poems and I like drawing with both have things that we like.

The things that Me and Davon have in common is that we both have things that we like the most which is that Davon like Poems and That I like Drawing. I kind of like Davon the least because he likes to many things and I don't like to many things. The Person who I like is Tanisha because she likes to be popular and she only like to hang out with people who respect her and likes her. Mostly, in my family I'm like the one who gets more things then my rest of my family members. I'm the one who gets good things I think this is because I am popular because I get things more then any body else.

The person who I dislike the most is Tyrone because every time some one finish saying some
thing he always has to say some thing smart. And, he gets on my nerve. The second person who I don't like is Davon because he thinks to much about poems and I think to much poem is kind of gay. Nah, I'm just playing I think poems are kind of cool but I think to much poems are kind of weird.

My Mid-Winter Break


In My Mid winter break it was awsome, because on Friday the 13th I went and spend my time in the movies and I went to go see the new Movie Friday the 13th. That movie was hot and I liked it but other people say that it was trash but not for me. Then, on Saturday February 14, I Went and spend my time with my grandma because it was her birthday and we went to a resturant and then we went to a bakery store and brought her a cake. Then when everything was settle down we sang her a happy birthday song. Then, on Sunday February 15 we went to Queens to a fancy Resturant then my grandma said after we finish from the Resturant we will go and by you something you want. Then I said really and she said yeah. So, then I told her if she can by me a pair of sneakers by not any kind of sneaker I wanted the new pair of Jordan's The True Flights in Red Black n White.

The Langston Hughes Poem

Today in Literacy class I have learned new different things about black people and the things that they went threw. Also, I have learned the new word of the day which is Jim Crow. Jim Crow is actually not a real person , a Jim Crow is a former practice of segregating black people. I think that the non- whites were affected by the Jim Crow laws, because they don't care about the black people they just want to see and hear the black people suffer and that they stay in pain.

Langston Hughes was a important person who liked to write about poems. He really like to write poems about the things that happen in their lives and the things that goes on in life. I think the lives of black people was painful and raises, because the black peoples has suffered a lot and some black people were even killed just because they were different from others. Today I have read a poem from Langston Hughes called Merry - Go round it was a good poem.

I felt bad and disrespected at the same time because I have seen black people get hurt and also disrespected by others such as white peoples. Also, sometimes I feel disrespected because if I was a black person I would feel the same thing the black people will feel which were Pain, Suffer, some black women get rapted and also sexual abuse. By men and thats crazy and the only thing is that now I just give hope to the people who get hurt and that suffered from pain.
