blog post #2 - outside reading

Scar Tissue is a very moving book. It tells firsthand what drugs can do to people. Anthony Kiedis was a drug addict practically his whole life. His dad used to deal out of his house in California and so kiedis got in on it. But his drug usage keeps on moving to the next level. He keeps on getting sucked in. I think this is a very good representation of drugs. At first its no big deal, but once you start, you cant stop. so far i would give this book a 8 out of 10.

blog post #1 - black boy

Black Boy is a very interesting book. Its shows vivid images of Richard Wrights childhood. Its a really depressing book because all of his memories are bad. He is beaten multiple times. Why doesn't he write about anything good that happened to him? or would that not be interesting? i don't see how it wouldn't be. The books plot line is very repetitive. Richard gets into trouble, and gets beaten. thats pretty much how i can sum up the book. Plus this story is very against whites, but i guess thats life.
