The Heart of the Matter

The time has come my lovely readers for us to part. This was a class project and indeed it was fun but this will be my last posting.

So what have we learned?
-There are many differences between street novels.
-No matter what the critics say there are plenty of street novels that are appropriate for teenage reading.
-Covers that contain graphic material most likely contains graphic material.

What was the whole point of this? I chose this topic because it is really close to me. It is in my house and in my family. The women in my family enjoy these books and they used to call me a prude because I always asked them why waste their time reading that junk when in secrecy my hypocrisy led me to reading them secretly and actually enjoying many of them but never admitting it to myself or my family and friends. The entire purpose of my blog was to pick different street novels out that will be appropriate for teen reading while opening the eyes of people and showing them that there is a little bit of good in everything. Before I started this whole project 3 months ago, I can say that I was close minded about street fiction. I discarded the whole genre because I felt since it was not like the Great Gatsby or Native Son or My Sister's Keeper that it was not good enough for me to really pay attention to and analyze. But when I really began to break it down and actually pay attention to everything below the surface like the meaning of the book and the impact it can have on someone, I was like, "Damn this some good stuff".

Even if you cannot personally relate to something or it may not touch you as some other books might...do not just disregard the whole thing in general because you will be surprised on what you may miss out on.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading my blog and Happy Holidays.

Peace, love and Sooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuullllllllllllll
