MONSTER by Walter Dean Myers-Dakari

My name is Steve Harmon, i'm 16 years old and i'm on trial for murder. I'm going to tell you about the worst days o my life

I was a good kid but i got caught in the wrong crowd. Hanging around criminals got me messed up. I got sent to jail on trial for murder. I know i didn't do it but the judges don't know that. In jail I was scared everyday because I have to worry about fighting or sexual activity. Everyday I look up into the mirror and think what am I. December 22nd I was forced to do a robbery with people named James King, Richard 'bobo" Evans, Osvaldo Cruz and me. They wanted me to be a look out so i had no choice. The thing is I wanted to get paid for it but that didn't happen. I didn't want any part of this robbery so when they robbed the place i wasn't looking out I was doing a school project on my neighborhood for school but I walked in the store. I was supposed to give an all clear sign but I didn't give anything. King walked in the store anyways and tried to rob the man but the man had an gun. They wrestled for the gun and King had to shoot the man and he died. BoBo stole some cigarettes and sold them. I was found innocent while King was sentence 25 to life. As far as I know BoBo is still in jail. Osvaldo was arrested for stealing a car and was sent to a reformatory. My dad moved us out of the Bronx. I had another chance to start my life over.

Tears of a Tiger By Sharon Draper-Dakari

Hello, my name is Dakari Thomas. I'm going to tell you about the book I am reading. My book is called Tears of a Tiger as you can tell by the title. I just got it not to long ago soo I'm not that far in the story. The book has been pretty good so far and I'm glad I found another book to my interest. My book is told in third person so there isn't a main character, its more of main characters. Those people are named, B.J., Andy, Rob, Tyrone. They were involved in a terrible accident on the highway after a basketball game. They had just blew the other team out by 40 or more and they wanted to celebrate. They went drinking and driving. The car was driven by Andy. They crashed into a wall. Robby feet was on the dashboard and when they crashed his feet went into the window. Everyone got out but he was stuck and the car caught fire while he was stuck inside. He died all because they were drinking and driving. This is how far I have got in my book, thank you.

Tears Of a Tiger PT.2 DAKARI THOMAS

Thank you for tuning back in to the part 2 of the book Tears of A Tiger. Today I will be making a prediction of what happens next in the story Tears of A Tiger. So far  it has been an amazing book and I recommend it to anybody. I like books like this because it could happen to anyone at anytime. It helps me knock off the immature things that teenagers like to try when they get older, like drinking and driving. I'm not going to say too much about what happened because I already have in the last blog post. The main character so far (Andy) has a lot of guilt building in him because of the recent lost of his bestfriend ( Rob) who died in the car accident as I said in the last blog. I believe someone will say something to Andy and its really going to make him snap and its not going to be good. Andy has already had an outbreak with  some of his friends saying something to him, about Rob and it made him storm out of class. I cant wait to see what happens at the end of ...
