    The book I chose to do this project on was the book by Wes Moore titled “the other Wes Moore”. The reason I had chosen this is because I was able to relate to it a lot more than any of the other books in the choices that were made present to me. Wes Moore does a great job in describing how easy one can make decisions that have long term reactions in everyone’s lives. This book was not one merely to tell a good story but one to educate of the many issues that we face in America and to perhaps change the minds of some of the youth out there. The book captures you into the lives of not only the author but that of the other Wes Moore who is a felon in prison serving a life time sentence for the part he served in the shooting of a police officer. The book starts you from the very beginning of their lives so that you can track down from the beginning where and how these two men ended up on the path that lead them where they are today and where that dramatic split occurred between their two destinies. The book does a great job of attacking our pre-notions of the book because the author Wes Moore’s life wasn’t all glamour and perfect and the other Wes Moore’s life wasn’t all in the streets filled with violence and crime as one would have though and thus making the book all the more interesting.…

    The central character is the narrator who tells the story, but his name is never revealed. This narrator is round since the reader gets to see not only what he thinks and feels as an adult, but also what he thought and felt as a teenage boy. He is also a dynamic character, changing from a young, innocent boy, into the adult narrator he is today reflecting back on his younger self. His journey into adulthood began when he meets Yolanda and develops his first crush. A person’s first crush is usually not forgotten because it is often this crush that crashes one into the world of adulthood and sexuality. Yolanda came to the narrator’s bed that night for shelter, wanting to escape the troubles in her life and feel safe, much like the narrator now goes back to that night to escape his own.

    Good Morning Good Afternoon Miss McCarthy and class. I will be discussing the novel Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta. The novel, Looking for Alibrandi is charged with emotional energy. Throughout the novel it shows cultural differences and a lack of communication and understanding between the family. This book is written as both a social and cultural analysis of Josephine Alibrandi’s life,, Josephine Alibrandi is 17 years old and comes from third generation Italian Australian. She feels caught in a claustrophobic trap between family lives obsessed with tradition, a strict disciplined Catholic school and trying to find herself and her position as a teenage girl. Throughout the novel Josie is constantly changing her views on people, and experiences her share of emotional upheaveful as she comes to realize that a perfect world consists of more than just gorgeous hairstyles, rich boyfriends and social privileges. It is a common representation throughout the novel that Josie Alibrandi is a selfish and egotistical girl whose internal angst and whose conflict with others all stemmed from her expectations that others should conform to meet her needs. This can be seen in her interactions with her close family members Christina, Nonna and Michael. She also selfish towards her friends John and Jacob.…

    On the other hand, Mia is depicted as the ‘second hand man’ (or ‘girl’ in this case), as Sophie is deemed to be the ‘popular girl’. Mia is the one that uses the drug ecstasy most in the novel, and she eventually becomes addicted. Mia’s qualities vary throughout the book, although she always seems to be vulnerable. Being shy and having no experience with the world of boys, her vulnerability leads her down the diving board of life, and she dives straight into the deep end. Sophie knows not to mingle with the wrong crowd, and knows to act sensibly to a certain degree, but Mia is oblivious to the risks and dangers of being a teenager. “And that’s the difference between…
