Zakaria's 2nd Post ATD

I like the way the author introduced the main character at
the beginning of this book. He made it very funny but we were able to understand
just how junior was. If “I know why the caged bird sings,” began this way it would
have made the story seem much more interesting and made it easier to read. One thing
that I do not understand is why he made the main character have so many problems.
Maybe it was done to show the reader that if this guy can make it then anyone
can make it. If that is so I assume that the book will have a good ending for
junior. I thought that it was sad that Oscar got sick but his parents were not
willing to take him to the vet. I thought that it was very funny that he put Kentucky
Fried Chicken on a high pedestal in his mind. To most of us we really do not
think about things like that but Junior has showed us not to take most things
for granted. Junior is very good at drawing and I hope that
he can fulfill his dream of becoming an artist but, I do not like that he only
wants to do that because most people of his race have jobs like those. What do you
think? Do you think that this is actually the job that he really wants? I don’t.
