My reactions

In the book "for the love of money" by Omar Tyree the character reacts to different situations similar to the way I would react. For example, the main character Tracy, who is known as "fly girl" which is the title of part one to this book, in the story she's suppose to have had wrote the book "fly girl" and she was going back to her high school in her old neighborhood to talk to the kids about the book but we all know teenagers today does not have very good listening skills they seem to always judge before allowing people to speak. That's exactly what they did to her they immediately began to jump down her throat criticizing her book, the only ones that were listening and allowing her to speak was the young ladies who is the majority of the ones who actually read the book.The boys were being books and automatically she was annoyed and her reactions was the same as mines would of been, "come at the boys" she didn't hold anything back she said exactly what was in her mind and the young ladies of the high school had her back because they all know how ignorant and rude boys are. How she react to the situation wasn't troubling at all for but but it may have been for those adults in the room. Some people feel a n adult you have to talk to younger people in a different matter but I feel as if she had every right to say what she had to say simply because if there old enough to say it how it is there old enough to be taught the way it is.

Tracy language was sort of unappropriated for the situation but the boys where saying inappropriate things as well. I know if I was in that situations I would of probably acted the same way maybe even worst, but as I read I was behind her as well as the other female characters at the school. To me she wasn't in the wrong, but as oppose to others, she was. She's an adult and she's suppose to go about the situation in a different direction. More in a positive direct then the negative, because she's suppose to be an role model, there were plenty of girls in that high school that looked up to her. Even though they didn't disagree with her other adults did, that's why the way she handle the situation could be troubling for her.

Diera...what an interesting situation. You said the "boys were being books." What did you mean by that?

Great response. Good focus on the character's actions and their affect/appropriateness.
