Black Boy...We Finished!

Finally, we finished Black Boy! I did not like the book. Freshman year, i read There Are No Children Here, it was exactly the same as the novel by Richard Wright. Except a boy was shot and there was much more gang violence that the kids were involved in. I like that the final project for this book is not a huge test or an analytical paper, I think all of us have done enough of those to last us awhile. The fact that the memoir doesn't have to do with the book is interesting, because it really isn't a test on the book, more of a test on the writing style. I like that. I'm not looking forward to our next book because it probably has a similar theme to Black Boy.
