In this section of my book Cap got a sign from when there was slavery that said that its illegal to teach black people to read or write. So cap started askin Kevin and Jimmy if they read and what they were reading at the time. Jimmy wasnt reding anything because he said it bores him. Cap went into a big thing about how reading is important and that jimmy should be reading. He said some other stuff to annoy Jimmy and Jimmy left and didnt come back for 3 days. Duke cam to Jimmys house and they talked about it and Jimmy got to keep his job. The next day they were in the barber shop and a girl came in that clearly used drugs. When she left they talked about using drugs and why people would use drugs. The older guys talked about how bad drugs could mess up your life. Kevin could understand why people would use drugs because he has to work in the barber shop because he got caught smoking marijuana.
My reaction to Cap annoying Jimmy was why does he have to do that? If i was jimmy i probably would have left too. Even though Duke could call the juvenile facilitie and put Jimmy in jail. I dont think it would be fun to work in the barber shop because Jimmy is always annoyed with one of them. Usually they are just trying to help him in life but i can see how that would get old. The older guys just want to see Jimmy have a successfull life, they dont want him to go to jail or have a messed up life.
My reaction to the girl that did drugs was wow that can mess up your life pretty bad. Duke cut her hair and he talked to her about were she was from and she was a really nice person. Duke said it was to bad she had to ruin her life like that. Duke doesnt want Jimmy or Kevin to end up like that. I think it is good that the older guys at the barber shop are always lookin out for the young guys. It is good that they give them advice about life to try and help them out and lead them the right way.
DO you like it when older people try to give you advice? Do you think its helpful?
