Nomination to.... Brittany!!

       I have read three blogs and commented on all but the one blog i really liked was Brittany's. After reading one of her blog post i wanted to read all of them. Brittany puts herself in the book and gives her point of view while giving the summary. To be honest i never really read the twilight saga before i started to read the first book but never finished. Seeing how Brittany talks about the book and shows what's really going on makes me want to read them all.        
   Brittany does a really good job on all her blogs even the ones that are not about the Twilight Saga and i really liked that she puts all her effort in her blogs and i can see that just by reading one blog post. Brittany you did an wonderful job on your blog post's and this is why the Nomination Goes To You!!!

Changing paths

       In the book Tyrell by Coe Booth, Tyrell has faced many problems but he really tried to make a change and do better. Tyrell has had a rough life and wanted to change that for his Little brother  Troy . He never wanted Troy to face what he faced growing up as a kid. Moving from house to house , being in a shelter , but even though he is trying to prevent that Troy has already been through this and sees what happens.
Tyrell is trying to show his brother that there is more than life in the streets and he can be anybody he wants to be and go down the right road . Live his Childhood because Tyrells had already been taken.
       Tyrell is trying to get money to get out of this old motel full of roches and be different from his father . People care about Tyrell and want him to be happy people want to see a change in him like jasmine . Jasmine is a girl who knows what it like to be alone and grow up before your time . Jasmine is like Tyrell 's light and she is trying to push him through the blackeness of his world so he can be better. Tyrell is going back to school and better himself for him and not anybody else.
     I think the author is trying to say that its hard to be a teenager that has notheing to  live for . That your only going to live up to being in a jail sell or being nothing at all. Theres more out there but kids who live like Tyrell dont even try to reach for goals like that because they think its not possible . The author really shows that it doesnt matter where you come from you can always make a change.

Gangsta Life

      In the book Tyrell by Coe Booth . Tyrell is a teenager  struggling to get by in the Bronx Tyrell is trying to be like his father but not get incarcerated because he doesn't want to leave is brother behind with his mother. Tyrell goes through many struggles.
        Tyrell is living in a shelter and he wants to get out and find a better place for his brother and mother to live. A lot of pressure is on Tyrell ever since his father went back to jail all the responsibility is on him . Taking care of his baby brother (Troy) who is a handful, His mother who still thinks shes young and can party, school is not even on his mind, trying to get money for food. Tyrell has a list of responsibility's that most privilege kids don't have to worry about.
      Tyrell is really trying to make a change for the better. Trying to through parties like his father so he can make a good profit so he can get his family out of the shelter. He tries to be the best brother he can be and not trying to get into the drug business like his best friend.
   But everything seems to be Turing south because his mother gave the equipment he needed to make money for food and he has no way of getting hold of it.  Tyrell is really making an effort but that doesn't always help if he really wants to get money and make a difference in his Little brother life he is to  have to make a change in himself.
   I feel Tyrell is going to suceed but its not going to be easy he is going to have to fall a couple of times and get back up .
