     In this book “Hakeem” goes through a lot, like moving from his home town Califonia to Detroit because his dad had cancer. They moved out there because his dad could not afford the house that they used to live in. Hakeem is mad at the fact he head to leave his friends, his school, and most of all, his girlfriend that he dated for six months. He also broke up with her so they didnt have to have a long distance relationship. Hakeem thought once he moved to Detroit it would at least be a litle good being that his favorite cousin Savon lived out there. But, the only thing was he had not seen Savon in years and knew they had lost touch with him. When he did arrive Savon did not seem to excited to see Hakeem, it was like he wanted Hakeem to go back home. The only reason Savon didn't want Hakeem around was for the simple fact he knew everybody always said he should be more like Hakeem which got on his nerves. Although moving to Detroit wasn't the best thing in Hakeems eyes, he started to hang out with the girl that lived next door. He liked her but could not stand the fact that his cousin Savon dated her too. Everything turned out fine when Hakeem's dad went to the doctor and they found out he was going to be alright. Although Hakeem did have connections with the girl next door, he knew there was no girl for him but Darcy. 

IF vs Outsiders

I was reading a poem called “IF” and while it was reading the poem IF, it reminding me of the book Outsiders. The poem IF kept on saying words that can describe the Greasers and it can relate to Ponyboy and Dally.
    For example when i was reading the poem the first stanza was “We real cool” I thought of the Greasers because they think they are all cool with here leather jackets there greasy hair and how they are in a group/gang and it can relate to, Two-Bit because he is all cool heartless in the group and strong so i thought like he was the cool one in the group. Second stanza said “We left school” again it reminded me of the Greasers how some of them left school and back when it said “we real cool” the some of the Greasers probably think that they are too cool for school. Third stanza was “We lurk late”  I thought of Ponyboy and Johnny when they ran out to the park at night when the soc came and just in general the Greasers stay out at night. Fourth stanza was kind of sad to me when I thought about this because I thought about Johnny and when he died and he died young so I thought it was sad. Finally, the final stanza said “we strike straight” I thought when the Greasers strike the soc and won.

2 years ago I was 11 years old I was laying down on my bed watching skateboarding videos. I was really into it, it looks fun looks dangerous. I needed to do all my chores for 3 weeks so I was doing all of my chores I was going to my grandparents house to do chores there all I wanted to is to get my skateboard. I was really happy because I had enough money to buy my skateboard. My dad and me went in the car and I was so excited to get it  I told my dad if he can pick my friend up so he can help me pick out my skateboard stuff like wheels, deck, grip tape. Me and my friend were looking at skating vedios like skating vedios like how to do tricks like Ollie,pop shut-it, and 180. My friend said  "it would not be so hard just commit".

I looked up and I saw us slowing down and I saw the skate shop and it had a big logo saying Uprise. I was so excited I me and my friend got out of the car and we went in the shop. Alll I see is clothes on the reck skate shoes on the wall boards on the selfs and at the back of the store. I was shocked and I was happy I went to buy my very first skateboard the deck was a dgk board, thunder trucks, grizzly griptape, bones wheels, red barrings. We bought it and I was so excited we went into the car and we were on our way to the skatepark called Maple my dad was happy for me because he knew I wanted the skateboard for so long.
