LIFE

I started notice that things are not always what they seem to be through reading the book Tyrell by Coe Booth. I started to read a few of Coe Booth books and I noticed that the protagonist are all similar. All the protagonist are going through something in life whether its good or bad. Reading Coe Booth books you get to notice a different side of life. The main character has a lot going on , Tyrell is living in a small dirty motel his dad is locked up and he has no money. But Tyrell doesnt let that get to him he uses something that most people dont even bother to use and thats his brain he starts finding different ways to make it in life without getting "Fast money" and doing the wrong thing.

This book makes you realize what it takes to be a strong person and a leader in life. Reading this book I kept
thinking wow some people in the world really have to go through this, I should be thankful for my family and what we have. For me I can understand things clearly through the text and reading. One day going pass Ikea I decided to go by the public housing and see things for myself. As I walked and observed I noticed that things arent so bad after all, reading Tyrell the book makes it seem like the projects are so bad , but its home for people. Overall I connect with the main character, working hard at something can let you achieve so many new things in life. I highly do diagree with not going to school. Tyrell has so much to offer is he just goes to to school. Does his mother even care about? If she cared she would be making him go to everyday, and she would be the "adult" working trying to provide for the family, not Tyrell. HE'S ONLY 15. She needs to realize that theirs so much more in life than just laying on your back waiting for a check

No matter how hard we try we are the same. We are able to make change to the people around us like friends and family, but first we have to change ourselves. Overall reading the book Tyrell i was taught many things and I have experienced so amny things about what goes in many different people life. Also I noticed tghat who we are is based on the people that surrounds us.
