L.I.F.E." Tue, 23 May 2023 14:18:38 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3071060 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3071060 to be honest I wasn't paying attention, the black object is a black man's toe. Tue, 23 May 2023 14:17:55 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3071041 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3071041 The way that these words are written is phonetic. It doesn't read well in your head, you have to read it out loud in order to understand what is being read Tue, 23 May 2023 14:14:42 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3071036 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3071036 I mean, it all depends on how you approach it. If you use the right cadence and diction, you could definitely make it feel more like slang or dialect. But at the end of the day, it's up to you to find out what's cool and what works.

Tue, 23 May 2023 14:11:26 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3071021 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3071021 this object was most likely a gun, but given the time period most guns were silver to my knowledge. Wed, 24 May 2023 12:41:15 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3071017 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3071017 I will just guess and say that this character is African American given the slang and writing of their sentences. Tue, 23 May 2023 14:04:01 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3070425 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347657?scroll_to=3070425 what is the crisis? Mon, 22 May 2023 13:28:21 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3068123 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3068123 But at the end of the day, all I can say is: fame is both a blessing and a curse. No matter how you look at it, there will always be people who worship others or hate them for wanting more. It's a double-edged sword. I can appreciate that, because that’s how I see life. Tue, 16 May 2023 20:44:07 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3068120 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3068120 We could both come up with ideas on how to comfort him together. What do you think we can do? Or, if you need inspiration, why don't you tell me a bit about how you've comforted someone else in a similar situation? Let's see if we can't come up with something to help Sooo Sad feel better. What do you say? Tue, 16 May 2023 20:41:26 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3068117 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3068117 I totally agree with your interpretation. It seems like City's family has a long-standing tradition of hard work and determination. The mention of City's grandpa diligently crafting furniture in his shed and his grandma working multiple jobs reflects their strong work ethic. By highlighting these details, Kiese may be suggesting that City has the potential to carry on this legacy of hard work and prove himself as a dedicated individual, just like his grandparents. It's inspiring to see how family influences can shape our values and aspirations.

I don't want to follow their footsteps either. My city gra-grew up different, and I'm gonna blaze my own path. You know, like be the first of my kind and all that. That's how I'm gonna make my mark in the world, by doing something different.

Fri, 05 May 2023 16:46:24 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063737 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063737 It's crazy for me to see how interwined city is to his grandfather and the character of the book Long Division Fri, 05 May 2023 16:44:01 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063735 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063735 It's an evil world we live in Fri, 05 May 2023 16:41:55 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063734 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063734 THis reminds me of the lyric by Kanye "And for that paper, look how low we'll stoop Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coupe" Fri, 05 May 2023 16:40:35 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063732 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063732 I feel as if when I observe the african american community has a sort of mixing with the church. So it would have been weird to not see a mentioning of a church in a book so heavily intertwined in the working of the black community. Fri, 05 May 2023 16:39:01 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063731 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063731 City is city because of where he lives, yes it is a shorter abbreviation of his name, but at the same time the author is playing into something. Fri, 05 May 2023 16:35:05 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063730 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063730 His jokes aren't as funny as they were before Fri, 05 May 2023 16:33:16 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063728 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063728 I feel as if food is a universal way for families to communicate with each other their love. Fri, 05 May 2023 16:31:27 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063727 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347058?scroll_to=3063727 it's interesting to see the family that City comes from, which mostly includes hard workers who fought to live their life.

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 20:20:46 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058526 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058526 I've been praying on his downfall for a long time Wed, 26 Apr 2023 20:18:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058525 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058525 Thank God he is crying, I really dislike him and his character Wed, 26 Apr 2023 20:18:10 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058524 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058524 Kiese laymon's use of humor is great Wed, 26 Apr 2023 20:14:38 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058523 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058523 He acts too fancy. I understand why people hate him Wed, 26 Apr 2023 20:14:05 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058504 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058504 I like how the author was able to create a book inside of the book. It adds a layer of complexity Wed, 26 Apr 2023 19:23:22 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058503 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058503 His father sounds like a real father, I can see a father saying this. Credits to the author for such good dialogue Wed, 26 Apr 2023 19:20:56 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058502 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058502 I love the good representation of a present father who can chastise their child for something stupid. Wed, 26 Apr 2023 19:19:16 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058501 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058501 Could his dad be abusive? I don't think so I honestly think his father wants the best for him and understands the reality of being a black man in a white climate. Wed, 26 Apr 2023 19:18:23 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3058500 I like the language and casualness of the authors ways of expressing himself. He is able to create somewhat real dialogue Wed, 26 Apr 2023 19:16:01 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3055079 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3055079 What on God's earth does this sentence mean? Wed, 19 Apr 2023 11:05:14 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3055074 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3055074 They are cooking each other for no reason at all. :) Wed, 19 Apr 2023 10:55:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3054236 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3054236 a way to give off the message that they need to look inward Tue, 18 Apr 2023 09:49:24 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3054235 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3054235 It's been a while since I've seen a book mentioned inside of itself. Tue, 18 Apr 2023 09:48:51 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3054227 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3054227 I would be pissed as well if I had to write three stories over something that I really didn't do. He's a better man then me cause I would've said no. Tue, 18 Apr 2023 09:46:25 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3054220 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3054220 This principal reminds me a lot about Mr. Johnson he is caring and overall different. one main important factor is how unconventional they are in showing their love for their students. Tue, 18 Apr 2023 09:44:44 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3054211 https://nowcomment.com/documents/345985?scroll_to=3054211 I get that they are saying jokes, I make some myself. But at a certain point these characters need to conscious of what they are saying and who it is insulting. Tue, 18 Apr 2023 09:41:19 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041627 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041627 Bro these long sentences are just annoying, they are only using commas. Im pretty sure these are becoming run on sentences Wed, 29 Mar 2023 10:49:01 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041621 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041621 I hate the way this Lavander speaks, he tries to hard to sound more fancy than he is. And it's quite annoying, I'm only one chapter in and I hope he gets punched in the face. Wed, 29 Mar 2023 10:47:23 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041609 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041609 both characters are really good at english grammar and the ability to come up with very long complicated sentences on the whim with a crowd is nothing short but impressive. Wed, 29 Mar 2023 10:44:25 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041582 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041582 This boy and his insults are just weird and not even funny. But most importantly this notion that White people are less ignorant even though they didn't take baths until they saw other cultures doing it is bizzare. He reminds me of a Boondocks character named Uncle Ruckus, he was a character who represented the overall community of Black people who have fallen to the disease of following the "white master race" Wed, 29 Mar 2023 10:40:19 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041561 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041561 To be honest thus relationship seems less of a love-hate and just friends being friends. Like I have many friends I speak to like this and there is nothing but love between us. I think this is more a boy thing, where dudes can go back and forth and seek pleasure or make a game of it. Wed, 29 Mar 2023 10:51:55 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041548 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041548 I one hundred percent agree this is a very bizzare way to make someone feel included Wed, 29 Mar 2023 10:34:59 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041542 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041542 He only feels this way because he has never been impacted in such a destructive way, his whole life he grew up in a norm. He doesn't understand nor sympathize with those who have fought against, experienced or been a victim of racism. Wed, 29 Mar 2023 10:34:18 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041530 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041530 Segregation is not in anyway deemed as a good thing, logically as humans we thrive off of our social climate, segregation goes against the very nature of humanity. Wed, 29 Mar 2023 10:32:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041091 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041091 Tue, 28 Mar 2023 10:30:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041012 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041012 I can understand why everyone hates them, they walk around like they got it all and are burgouisesque. Tue, 28 Mar 2023 09:58:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041000 https://nowcomment.com/documents/343951?scroll_to=3041000 I be wilding in the bathrooms, anytime I gotta go, I gotta go. Especially with all the new urinals and toilet in the bathrooms, new tile. When a brother has to go, I undertsand.

Whether embarrassing or not.
