When I first started reading the book I thought that it was stupid and for pre-teens or middle schoolers. I thought that it was stupid to read a book with pictures in it but as I got more into it, I would take some time and read the pictures and look at them. I think that its a good book for all ages. You can read it again and again and still learn new things every time you read it. I would give it a four star rating. It got more interesting as I got further into it. Like when Junior talk about the what it felt like at his new school. Everyone thought he was weird just because of his speech, and appearance. Its really hard to be a teenager in this world and he has it worse then most teens in America. The author really captures what its like to be a minority in today society. No on really knows what its like until they experience it.
I love the quote at the bottom of this book! It's so true...it's already won awards, and it's been banned. This could be something to research...
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see you being more specific in your responses...what exactly made you change your mind? What images made you think on a higher level?
