All American Boys- Brendon Kiely & Jason Reynolds

By Anonymous -
All American Boys is a book basically based of today's society. It talks about police brutality, racism, and people who follow other people. It needs a strong audience due to the bad language and the descriptive events. All American Boys is about a African American boy named Rashad and he was abused by a white cop for a crime he did not commit. There was a witness his name is Quince but the thing is he is white. And he feels as if he defends Rashad he will be betraying his best friends' brother who was the cop. Throughout the book he tries to figure out whose side he on Rashad who expirenced police brutality and racism. Or his best friends' brother who was in the wrong for beating someone based off of race. Ms.Belkov recommended this book to me. I am actually very thankful that she did because it was such a phenomenal book.

On A Sunny Evening  On a purple sun-shot evening Under wide-flowering chestnut trees Upon the threshold full of dust Yesterday, today, the days are all like these. Trees flower forth in beauty, Lovely, too, their very wood all gnarled and old Into their crowns of green and gold. The sun has made a veil of gold So lovely that my body aches. Above, the heavens shriek with blue Convinced Ive smiled by some mistake. The world's abloom and seem to smile. I want to fly but where, how high? If in bared wire, things can bloom Why couldn't I? I will not die! 1994 Anonymous  Written by the children in Barracks L318 and L417 Age: 10-16 years

SodaPop Curtis is the second eldest brother out of the Curtis brothers. He is movie-star handsome and is very sweet. Soda is a high school drop out and he is not proud of it. He works at the DX gas station so he can make a living for his other brothers. SodaPop is a very optimistic person he is always smiling or joking around. He is really not good at disciplining his brother PonyBoy like the eldest brother Darry is. SodaPop really does not take life serious he lives for the moment but he is serious when it comes to important  situations. SodaPop Curtis changed throughout the book by acting more of his age and controlling over his brother PonyBoy because he does not want his brothers life to be endangered ever again. I like everything about SodaPop but some key things I like about him are, his personality and his perspective on life. He is so happy go-lucky, he likes to make a game out of everything, and I think It's very important to surround yourself with people like him. ...
