"Behind me I hear hundreds of gasps. I don't move, but I can see them: girls and boys we pass in the halls every day; the mothers in their nice summer dresses and the fathers tapping the rolled up program on their knees; the little brothers and sisters squirming in their seats.
'I'm an illegal alien,' Aisha repeats, harder, faster now." (151)
Wow.
Just wow.
Aisha has out done herself again. I really am happy that she begun to get stronger towards the end of the speech. I mean, literally. Aisha, the big bold person that we used to know, seems to be drifting in and out of herself as in a ghosty type of way, kinda thing.
I think that I was a little disapointed overall by the book.
I never found out what happend to Ali-Uncle (my favorite character) other than he disapears.
And I never find out what happend to Tareq either.
Hmm...I don't know.
I was left just sorta hanging.
About Me
- Kayla
- I'm Kayla. Thats pronounced k-luh. Kay-lou is a nickname. I promise you'll love me if you promise to keep an open mind. Here to shout my opinion to any willing or any unwilling listener. Get to know me before you judge me. I'm a spelling and grammar Nazi. I'm fourteen, and I hate to say so because I think the generalization of age is ridiculous. I'm whatever age my maturity level is at. I'm Mexican-American. I'm usually really bright when you first meet me. I'm sincere, and whatever your beliefs are even if they are contrary to mine, I support you. I'm the most sarcastic person I know. I hate the United States' schooling, voting and government system at the moment. When I fall, I fall fast. Then I get paranoid and discouraged very easily. I hate talking on the phone. I enjoy talking to people that have a brain cell or two in their head. I have a passion for poetry, music, art, movies, composure, and makeup. I really like to write and I'm told I'm good at it. I drink more coffee than is good for me. Oh and by the way, humanities is the best subject...evuuuur. 8 )
