THE OUTSIDERS

I think this would be a good book because i hate to read the same book twice and i read this book front to back like 6 times in a week. the book describes the lives of a gang of misfit teenagers that live in a bad neighborhood constantly having to deal with their rivals the socs. the two youngest boys end up killing a socs and then have to go into hiding. and then one two of them die. its tight read it.

BLACK HAWK DOWN

this book is a biography written by one of the soldiers involved in operation Irene in Somalia. the book takes you through the whole conflict with a great amount of detail. the way that it is all described makes you feel like you are in the middle of all the action. this book is very sad though and is also very gory but not as bad as things fall apart.

for these chapters i felt that ishmeal changed more in these three years then he had in his whole time before. he killed he helped kill and he watched his friends be killed. he used many drugs and became very sick there isnt alot that i can say about this chapter because my mind is horrified and i cant really think about what i have read. but the way that i feel about this chapter is horrified that a human could do these things to another human especially a child to other children.
