I think that On The Come Up is a window to me, (window in this example is something that you can open to a new perspective) because I can not relate or compare myself to the main character Bri, and her problem. She has to deal with the racism and hate that is put upon black people, I do not have to deal with that, her dad is dead, mine is definitely not. This book challenges my identity because it does not help me see more into my identity, since the main character and I are very different.

Jamie was so nervous she started speaking gibberish! The newborn baby was speaking gibberish, no one understood what he was saying.

There was a controversy throughout the team if they should put out the best players in the last 30 seconds. A controversy had broken about in the street between 2 people, and everyone was watching.

Concrete Rose is the 3rd book in the "series" The Hate U Give. I want to read this book because it is the last book and I want to see what kind of plot the author does next. I also want to read it because the books before that one were amazing and I loved reading them. The book is about Maverick Carter, who was Starr Carter's father in the first book, and what his life was like from being a popular gang leader. I think this book will be new for me because it's from a perspective I don't understand.

I have actually bought this book on Amazon, (but it i taking forever to come) so I am extremely excited about reading it. Punching The Air was a book I want to read because I love reading books where I can't relate to the main character, since it is so cool to see what life is like for other people. This book is about Amal Shahid when he is accused of a crime he did not commit, so he has to get sent to prison. So, he uses he words to help get himself out of jail. I think this book will be a challenge for me because I've never read books about people going to jail.

Characters: Bri, Malik, Sonny, Trey, Jay, Aunt Pooh, Curtis, Supreme

Theme: No matter what, keep going and the best will come to you

The setting and characters affect the main character the most: When living in the Garden, lots of people affect her life. The police, Curtis, and their rental person(?). These are some of the people that change her life in negative and positive ways

Through the story, I really felt bad for Bri in a lot of situations, she had been going through many things like running out of electricity, her mother losing her job, struggling against the racism shown in her school, Hype making her look like a fool, her brother and mother both said she couldn’t do rapping, and even having hardships with one of her closest friends

Although I may not be able to completely empathize with Bri, I do have sympathy for her, she was going through a very hard time, but I can not relate to what she is feeling, so I felt really bad for her and tried to put myself in her shoes

I wondered what the story would have been like if Bri hadn’t gone through these struggles. Would she have achieved her dream faster? Would more people know about her? I was really thinking about these things while reading
