I know that a lot of people did not like this book but i kinda thought it was good. Was it my favorite book no but i thought that whole idea of shadowshapping was awesome! It was really interesting and i during certain parts i couldnt stop reading! #engl20512
When we first started I did not super like the book but now that its started its very similar to Percy Jackson for me and Im kinda vibing with it #engl20512
@schlitt_swims I thought that this was such a good touch because we are in Brooklyn in this story and this culture is not something that we typical would think to see in NY #engl20512
@MadelynMeder I felt like this book is really on the verge of being fantasy but it is still really amazing how they took such a normal thing and turned it into fantasy #engl20512
I just wanted to talk about the title of the second article…WOW. It’s so true tho we shouldn’t expect to read books about racism but black people just living their lives. It shouldn’t be something that is unexpected but expected that they are the main character #engl20512
@ChloeMetzger12 I agree with this statement. I feel like writers were almost seeing a “trend” and hoping on it and it shouldn’t be a trend it should just happen #engl20512
@paytonchandle11 I think that’s so important because a lot of people give up once their book has been rejected because they think they aren’t a good writer which isn’t the case #engl20512
@paytonchandle11 I really liked this spread too because it just shows almost what grief feels like and then the pieces finally start to fall away… #engl20512
@MadelynMeder It’s more of Will feeling like he HAS to do something than Will wanting too. He keeps asking everyone if he’s doing the right thing and it shows how unsure he is. #engl20512
With the second half of the book we really began to see how 1 incident affected so many people and finally Will is seeing the whole picture. I think that this is so important for young people to see that the bigger picture in these situations; you just have to find it #engl20512
I don’t know what about this book makes me feel like this but it feels so homey. Like something familiar that j want to keep reading. I think it may be the words that he uses but this book has been so homey. Kinda weird. #engl20512
@paytonchandle11 I think that it’s so crazy that someone who didn’t read a book so a large part of his life is a published author! Such an inspiration for young children! #engl20512
@MadelynMeder I think that it’s so interesting how wide this genra is as well as how much the human eye takes in from pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words I guess 🤷🏻♀️ #engl20512
Something that i really thought was beautiful was when Jason Reynolds says that his high school teacher says, “sometimes doing the right thing has consequences” #engl20512
