A Black young adult gets tossed into a whole new White School

 

The book, Black Boy; White School by Brian F. Walker would get 4 paws from me. Teenager Anthony “Ant” Jones is getting a scholarship to Belton Academy in Maine. The thing is though, he never has left his hometown of East Cleveland. People though think Anthony is a basketball all star that prefer`s to be called “Tony: and that he is from Brooklyn. Everything changes though when Jones fights back realizing that this is nothing like home. If you want to know more, then read the book because it`s pretty good.

“Book for a mature audience that love suspense” Scholastic.

This book is very well put together and cannot be compared in my opinion. It`s so good and in the middle of the book you want to keep reading because the climax is so interesting and mind blowing. Only a mature audience can handle this novel with explicit language and graphics (what the author wants you to imagine) to understand this book.

“ANTHONY JONES, AN INKY KNOT OF A fourteen-year-old, stomped down the elevated railroad tracks, hammering his thigh with a clenched fist.” (Walker 1).

As Anthony had to experience a new change that was not easy to adapt to, he made something out of it instead of letting it have at him. Do something with your life that you would never do. It will benefit you in many ways depending on your actions.

I give Black Boy White School 4 paws- Pounce on it!!!

The continuation of Animal Farm

 Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games: Mocking jay
Napoleon from Animal Farm

Chapter 11
    Days after the fight on animal farm between Napoleon, his pigs, Pilkington and his men, Clover had found a young lady in the barn sleeping behind the hay bails.  Clover nudged her awake with a couple kicks from her hooves.  As the girl awoke, Clover called the animals over to see if she was normal or another nut like Jones.  
    “Who are you strange human,” Napoleon questioned with much curiosity.  “Answer now or be killed where you sit.”
    As the girl awoke, she was in shock after hearing the animal`s talk.  She had never heard anything like this before.  
    “My name is Katniss Everdeen.  I hail from District 13.  I am the victor from my Hunger Games.”
    While Katniss was sharing her adventurous life, the animals sat and listened thoroughly to her as if they were going to be quizzed on it.  After a gigantic round of applause from the animals, Napoleon blurted something that the farm went dead silent about
    “My little pigeon pal told me that Frederick is yet coming back for a final battle so he can increase his farmland.  Now that means we all need to be ready for anything.  So Katniss here will be on guard with a couple of my dogs every night.”
    Just as Napoleon was finishing his little speech, Katniss opened her box to find she still had her bow in the box with a note from Prim saying, We miss you Katniss.  Mom will explain when you come back home. -Prim.  She had full stock of the fire tip, explosive and regular arrows.  Just as she was rearranging the box, a baby pig named Dominic asked what the strange object was.  Instead of explaining just to Dominic, Katniss asked for the animals` attention.  She held up the bow and started to explain its concept and how powerful it was.
    “Would one of you be so kind to set up a target of some sort?,” Kat asked thinking only one animal would do it.  But at all at the same time, Dominic gathered all ten of his brothers and one sister.  They all set up rotten chicken eggs from the previous week on hay bales.  As all the little piggies scurried out of the way Katniss blasted the first eight eggs wide open, yolk splattered everywhere.  “Would you like to see how the explosive ones work?”
    “Yes,” Napoleon said, “ but first somebody move the last three targets into the field so the barn doesn't blow up.”  
     Dominic led his family to the field with the targets .  They all scurried back to watch the pitch black field light up the night with small explosions.  The animals enjoyed the sight, Napoleon especially.      
     “Frederick does not stand a chance against us now!,” Napoleon shrieked.  As usual the sheep would blurt out this time something the whole farm was screaming.  The loud yells of “Long live Katniss”,  “Long live Katniss” filled the night`s brisk air.
