I'd never be him." (Reynolds 27)
Window: "The talk" about what to do when the police pull you over "Never fight back. Never talk back. Keep your hands up. Keep your mouth shut. Just do what they ask you, and you'll be fine." (Reynolds 300)]]> 2018-10-11 13:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291699566 Mirror and Window 677wtb15 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291699863 Mirror: My mirror occurs through the relationship of Rashad and his friends on page 11. Rashad and his friends give each other and lot of 🤬 and like to make fun of each other. It is always in a joking manner and they always respond with a comeback. This is very similar to me and my friends. My dad always says that if you can't give each other 🤬, then you aren't true friends.

Window: My window moment occurs on page 300 where Rashad's dad has a whole "talk" memorized with how to comply with the police and for nothing bad to happen. They have to live in fear of the police and are scared every time they have an encounter because they never know what will happen or if they will die. It is very sad and something that I have never had to experience.]]> 2018-10-11 13:13:06 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291699863 Mirror and Window 122aeb26 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291699911 Mirror: When everyone was talking about the viral video going around the school (Reynolds 123).

Window: When Quinn and Guzzo got into a fight during practice (Reynolds 176-179).]]> 2018-10-11 13:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291699911 Mirror and Window moment 397glm24 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291769217 Mirror: The relationship between Rashad and his father where his father tells him what he thinks Rashad should do and how he thinks Rashad should act.  Pages 6-9

Window: When Shannon was talking about how sometimes at random cops would pull him over and search him just because of the way he looked. Page 202]]> 2018-10-11 14:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291769217 Mirror and Window Moment 252gkn01 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291770023 Mirror: My mirror moment is during pages 49-50 when Rashad's dad tells him that when he dresses up a certain way it may look like he was asking for what had happened to him. Sometimes in my family if you dress a certain way in front of people that are older, they may some rude things and they justify it with how that when you dressed liked that you were asking for it.

Window: My window moment is when Rashad's dad joined the protest on pages 306-307 because when I was younger my dad wasn't at home and when he was he didn't agree or support other people and their opinions. ]]> 2018-10-11 15:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291770023 Mirror and Window Moment 057jab21 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291770510 Mirror: When all of Rashad's friends visited him in the hospital on page 160. I really related to how they interacted and tried to make Rashad feel better despite his circumstances. While they were talking to him, they also promised to help make things right. I can relate to this a lot because I really care about my friends and I would do a lot to stand up for them.

Window: When Quinn and Guzzo got into a huge fight on page 176-179. I've never really had a huge fight with any of my friends, so this was a very weird thing to read about.]]> 2018-10-11 15:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291770510 Mirror/Window 704jay20 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291808184 MM: On pages 176-179 Quinn is at basketball practice and gets distracted and dosen't think straight. I think everyone can relate to this. Thinking about something bigger when your in a situation where you can't 
WM: On pages 20-23 is when Rashad gets accused of shoplifting and is brutily beaten by Paul. I have never been in a situation like that and I hope I never will. So reading this made me think on how it seems like every week or so we see something like this happen and many think how 'How bad can it be' or 'Maybe he was a criminal' which isn't bad at all but this book does give a story to many of those incidences. ]]> 2018-10-11 15:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291808184 Mirror and Window Moment 160pjb13 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291808644 Mirror: My Mirror moment was the tension on the basketball court. I've experienced where everyone was upset with everyone and tensions were high and it caused us as a team to not play up to our potential. It costed us the game. (Pages 254-260)

Window: My window moment was Rashad being a victim of police brutality for I've never experienced anything like it. The most experience I've had with a cop on duty was getting pulled over for tinted windows, so it was a completely different experience b between me getting pulled over to Rashad being brutally beaten for no reason. (Pages 18-22) ]]> 2018-10-11 15:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291808644 Mirror and Window 104scb24 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291809007 Mirror Moment: I had a mirror moment with Quinn when he realizes he should spend more time with his little brother. Quinn sees how absent he has been from Willy's activities. So Quinn goes to Willy's soccer game. "In fact go see your brother's game. It means more to him if you're there than me anyway, so go see his game" (Reynolds 70). Sometimes I am unable to go to my siblings activities, but other times i should go and support them, because I care about them. 
Window Moment: I don't believe I have been in a situation where I was a middle man between friends. Quinn is loyal to the Guzzo's because they were like a second family to him while growing up. However Quinn also has a special bond with his teammates on the basketball team. So when Guzzo and the Teammates start to fight on the court, Quinn is stuck in the middle. After reading about this I have had a different look on my friends. I am very grateful that we can settle a disagreement just by talking it out. Reading about friends who don't know what to believe anymore changed the way I look at friendship. (Reynolds 221)]]> 2018-10-11 15:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291809007 mirror and window moment 674eec06 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291810275 mirror moment: My mirror moment was Rashad and his dads relationship because it reminded me a lot of me and my parents. Just like Rashad I don't want to disappoint my parents either. (pg 7-8)

window moment: My window moment was when Rashad talked about how hes living in fear everyday from society and the police. I dont think i could ever relate to this. (pg 95)]]> 2018-10-11 15:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291810275 mirror and window moment 799cm14 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291904318 mirror moment: The relationship that Rashad has with his dad reminds me of my relationship with my mom because I'm trying not to disappoint her just like Rashad is trying not to disappoint his dad. Rashad has to live up to his dads standards and try to make him proud.(Pages 7-9)
window moment: Seeing how Rashad has to live in fear of the cop brutality and how his dad had to give him a talk about how to behave if a cop ever stops him is so weird to think about. I would never have to get talked to about the things Rashad had to deal with his whole life.(Pages 91-96) ]]> 2018-10-11 18:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291904318 Mirror: "He was right over their!

While Rashad gets accused and beat up, my sister blames me for stuff all the time which ends up with some sort of punishment.

Window Moment: On Page 282, Rashad is involved in a protest against what had happened to him. This brings up the issues of racism and police brutality which I have never experienced. It shows how communities can come together to stop these kinds of problems.]]> 2018-10-11 18:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291904436 Mirror: 279rag12 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291904683 The relationship that rashaad and his friends have on page 11 when they joke at each other which is something that me and my friends do alot to each other

Window: something that i have never personally experienced was the talk about how to deal with the police in the way that rashaad and his dad did on page 300 or so]]> 2018-10-11 18:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291904683 Mirror and Window Moment 541jtc15 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/291905211 Mirror: My Mirror moment was at basketball practice and the coach was running them like crazy. I've experience what it was like to have the coach work you as hard as you can during practice. (Pg. 170-172)

Window: My Window moment was when Rashad gets beat up by a cop. This is a whole new level because I have never been beaten by a cop. The most i have been with a cop is either getting a ticket or being in a cop car. The experience that Rashad faced while being brutally beaten and the after match of it.

Window: On page 94-95 it is revealed that Rashad lives in constant fear of police brutality and even has to have “the talk” withhis dad about what to do in case he is confronted by an officer.]]> 2018-10-15 22:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293086909 Steven Rufino https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293545189 Window: On page 21 when Rashad tries to explain himself to the police but the police wouldn’t listen. “I tried to explain, but the policeman shut me down quick”. This is a window to me because it is crazy to think that cops could be so unfair.

Mirror: When Quinn has to take his brother places on page 26. This is a mirror because I have to do this too, and it gets annoying.

I found this to be a mirror as I make sure to see both sides and sometimes not pick 1 side specifically but sometimes that just isn't realistic.
Window: On page 260, after the teams basketball practice Quinn walks out and is attacked by Guzzo. This was a window for me because me and my friends have never tried to get into a fist fight with one another.]]> 2018-10-16 22:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293627706 Mirror and Window 333bgs23 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293641127 Mirror: I saw myself relating to Rashad because of his ROTC thing he does just to make his parents (mostly his dad) happy.  Sometimes I have to do or contribute in things to make my parents happy. ( pgs 6-9 )
Window: This book had a lot of physical and hateful drama at school in it unlike ONW which was a window for me. Many students throughout the book have been getting in fights and arguments over all the drama around Rashad and the way he was treated because of his race. ( pg 22-23, 193, 219 )]]> 2018-10-17 00:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293641127 Mirror and Window 709cjp12 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293646776 Mirror: I have had to deal with lots of controversy on my soccer team just like Quinn does with his basketball team. Being a captain I have had to cool down players who have been mad at another teammate for whatever reason. If the players are mad they will play poorly and continue to hurt the team. (Pages 136-140)

Window: My windows moment was the police brutality that occurred between Paul and Rashad to create the main conflict of the book. I have never personally seen or experienced any type of police brutality in my life. Sure I’ve heard lots about it but I’ve never gotten a description of what it is like. (Pages 19-23)]]> 2018-10-17 00:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293646776 Mirror/window moment 469faf28 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293671329 Mirror: The mirror moment for me in this book was when rashad was in the hospital and his parents bring a pastor for prayers. Then the pastor says to rashad "everything happened for reason"(reylond 80). I relate to this because when something bad happens to me I tell myself the words the pastor said.

Window: The window moment for me in this book was when rashad was explaining what happened between him and paul and and he say "shoved me through the door and slammed me to the ground"(Reylond 22). This moment in the book I have seen videos of and heard on the news but never experienced it or been in the situation]]> 2018-10-17 03:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293671329 Mirrors and windows 585gmw29 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293677539 Mirror: I have dealt with arguments between friends and having to work together while they are arguing like Quinn and guzzo in basketball (pg 260)
Window: I have never had to deal with police incidents or racism in my life like rashad with the cop in the store (pg 22-23)]]> 2018-10-17 03:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293677539 Mirrors and Windows 020ake25 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/293680511 Mirror: When Quinn is struggling over whos side to choose, and Paul is trying to make Quinn come to his side, even though Quinn believes he trusts Rashad’s side of the story (Reynolds & Kiely 210). This is easily relatable because I often don’t know what to do in stressful situations.  

Window: When the book talks about how Rashad’s father says that if you go with the law then everything will be fine (Reynolds & Kiely 300). This, to me, feels like something people should not have to worry about, yet people still do.

I know howe hard it can be to try and focus on something when you have something very significant happening somewhere else in your life. (136)

Window Moment: I can see how such a controversy could completely split the school and how that could happen to a certain extent at ONW although I would hope that doesn’t happen.

Window: my window is where rashads dad talks to Rashad about what to do when you get pulled over and if you do it right nothing bad will happen yet Rashad was brutally beaten. Luckily I do not think it has happened around the ONW area but all of the boys in the book were scared if a cop just looked at them (Reynolds 300).]]> 2018-10-18 00:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/294147313 Mirror: 572bis01 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/867k5qcp153o/wish/294172254 My mirror moment is when Quinn said that he “would never” be his dad.(27) I  relate to this because my dad is a pretty hard person to Be better than or even equal to, And he wants me to do a lot and has super high expectations for me like Quinn’s dad.

WINDOW:
My window moment isn’t when rashad and his dad have the conversation about what to do when they’re in a issue with the law(11). I relate to this conversation because me And my dad have talk s like this a all the time because he wants to see me succeed and not be in trouble all the time.

Window: My window moment is when Rashad gets in trouble. Personally, I am very careful to not to take a bag in a store if I can help it and to make sure nobody thinks I am steeling anything. (22)
