Weekly Reading Response

How is a character in your book similar to a character in another book, story, or movie?
The character I chose is Andy, I thought that he was similar to Ponyboy from the book The Outsiders. Ponyboy felt guilty because his best friend Johnny was in a fire. They were both trying to save children in a school house. And trying to save the kids was Ponyboy's idea. Ponyboy made it out find but Johnny was badly burned, Johnny died two months later. Andy felt guilty when Rob was killed in the car accident.

What was one of your favorite lines (or sentences) in what you read today?

Got up this morning
Feeling good and black
Thinking black thoughts
Did black things
Played all my black records
And I minded my own black business
Put on my black clothes
Walked out my black door
And Lord have mercy: white snow

I thought it was funny. I also thought that the person in the book that wrote it felt that he lived in a world there is white everywhere. That the country was ran by only white people. And that he couldn't change anything, but he could just live on being black.
