This is a non-fiction book about Edmund Perry’s short life. It’s interesting that I picked this out of my books to read at this time in 2021. It’s about a black teenager trying to live in two different worlds. We have so much of this going on in the United States right now and the story did open my eyes how cultures open their mouth before they see different sides to how people are living. It doesn’t always go one way to be able live together peacefully, everyone needs to give up on their attitudes and call it the same for all. This young boy died because no one would listen to his story, where he lived, who he was, and stop and realize that we need to understand different cultures that live around us. People are too quick to jump to conclusions before they even think of what they are saying and thinking.
This young boy was a person, and a very smart person who lived in the black ghetto and going to a mostly white prestigious school called Exeter. He had friends, white and black, he had a mother who was proud of him and loved him. Edmund Perry could have gone far, he made a mistake as all people do but that didn’t mean he needed to die. He was a person like everyone else, no matter what color he was…Yes, that’s right, he was a person and wanted a good future but did anyone listen….!!!!… (plus d'informations)
