Reader Reponse Journal #5

"The Pact"
By Drs. Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt
pg 87 - 96

When Rameck said to his friends one day that he was thinking about going to college, they started laughing at him. Now, he is to college and he should be proud of himself because he proved to them that he could do better than what they thought of him. Rameck, George and Sam made it to college. They are each the first person to graduate to college in their family. In my point of view, I think that they are good example for young people, in particularly Rameck's friends because when RameckRameck is someone who is not believing in himself. he doesn't have a good self-esteem just like me. Also like Rameck, I want to have a good future but I am sometime scared about what I have to strive to have it. For example, to choose a high school, you want to choose a good high school to have challenges that would unveil your true self. However, I think that he should not destroy hid life by thinking like that because if he made to college, he could do better.

George is someone optimist like Francie in A Tree Growing in Brooklyn. They are both living in a poor situation but never give up to accomplish their dreams. George is someone very straight even for himself despite he lives in a bad neighborhood. He found a way to stay out of trouble by hanging out with young person in his neighborhood and in school by hanging out who students who like school but in the same time fun. By hanging out with people like that he was not like most of young residents in his neighborhood. George sounds sometimes like my English teacher when he gives advices to his friends because he believes that his friends could do better and also believes that everything is possible just like my English teacher.
