The Girl Who Fell From the Sky

        

          This book is about a girl who mom has died and her dad is back in Denmark so she lives with her grandma and her aunt Loretta. As she is growing up she is experiencing new things about life and school. She dated and has been bullied a bit too, just like any other teenager. Ash she meets new people she is learning about life in new ways.

         I have noticed a lot of racism in this book. The girl is a mix of black and white so she is dark and has blue eyes. People aren’t sure if she is black or white. There are a lot of racist remarks about white people and Negros (clean version). How they are mean or hang out with only those people and just hate each other in general. There is a lot of enmity between characters. It reminds me of a show called everybody hates Chris. It was about a black boy living in Bed Stuy and went to school across the borough. He was the only black kid in the school so all of the white kids made mean jokes about him all the time. They relate because they both show how kids can be racist no matter how old or young.  

           I also noticed that the main character changed a lot. She gets straight A’s in school but wears tight clothing so that guys would notice her. Even though she is a smart person she didn’t have to dress like a slut in order to get a guy to like her.

          As I continue the book I hope to read for more issues about life and growing up.
