Handbook For Boys

In the last section of my book Jimmy helps Duke move his friend out of his old house and in to a new one. It was not alot of work they just had to move the silverwear collection that this man had been collecting all his life to make sure nothing was broken. Duke wanted jimmys help because he wanted to talk to him about his life and how he cares about him and he doesnt waant to see jimmy go wrong someday. They go to the park after and talk about how life doesnt work and that you have to make it work by making the right decisions. They talked about how kids don't make the decision to rob a bank or kill someone when there young but its a series of events and bad decisions that lead up to something really bad like that. Duke is trying to guide jimmy into the rite path so that he doesnt make bad decisions because he ares about jimmy. Duke is also trying to guide kevin because they are both in trouble and thats why they are working at the barbershop.

My reaction to this was good that he Duke is guiding them to stay out of trouble. I also think that its true that life doesnt work. You cant just sit around and expect to get what you want, you have to go out and get what you want. If you expect to get what you want by not wrking for it you most likely wont get it. Some good people can become bad if they make the wrong decisions and they need guidance from someone like duke.

Jimmy and Kevin are two people that need guidance. They are working at the barbershop as punishment for a fight and drugs. Hopefully Duke infleunces them to be good people because the way they are going right now they could be bad people. Modt likely they sould be alright without dukes guidance but it still helps.
Do you think life works? why or why not

I am reading a book called Handbook For Boys by Walter Dean Myers. So far my book is just about advice and how you should live your life. In the last part i read a man named fred greene comes in to the barber shop and he is facing arrest. He works at a watch and jewelery store and a man came in and offered him a 1000 dollar watch for 30dollars. It was a really nice watch so he didnt think much of it and he bought it. Not verylong after this the police came to his house and asked him what the time was and he looked at his watcha and thy said he waw under arrest because it was a stolen watch. They couldnt catch the theif so Fred has to go to court. Duke talks to kevin and jimmy about this when fred leaves and he just trys to give them some advice to keep them from making bad decisions. Duke used a story called the blind monkey walk were a tiger wanted a monkey to teach his cubs how to do the monkey walk and he sould pay the monkey two bananas a day to do the monkey dance but if the monkey did it blind folded he would get 50 bananas. The mokey wanted to do it blindfolded so the tiger put a blindfold on the mokey and he set a trap and the monkey walked right into it and he was upside down in a tree. The point of this story was to show that you should apreciate what you get.

I think this is a good book so far because it talks about mistakes and what life is really about and how you should live your life. The older guy Duke is trying to show the two kids, kevin and jimmy how they should live there life and that you should be a good person. My reaction to this is good because kids make alot of mistakes and sometimes they need guidance. It is also good because the only reason they work at the barbershop is because the got in trouble and thats how they are serving there time.

This book is also making me realize that people make alot of stupid mistakes. Fred should have realized that the watch was stolen when the guy was selling it for such a low price. My reaction to this was sympathy because i probably would have done the same thing. Things like this happen to everyone and this book makes you realize it. I like this book so far and Walter Dean Myers is a good author.

Do you think you would be interested in reading this book?
