Bronx Masquerade #1

My opinion on the book "Bronx Masquerade," is that it is a very good book, because it has to do with realistic facts and it gets you interested in it. Also i think that it teaches people about what teenagers are going through in high schools in the Bronx. I can connect to Raul, because he wants to be a painter but everyone in his family tells him that there was never a painter in this family and your not able to make it big in America. I can relate to him because when i am older, i want to go to college and graduate and become a dentist, but nobody in my family has ever even graduated college. But i am determined to be the first. My faveorite character is Chankara because she seems like a strong women who can take care of herself. I don't have a least faveorite character because i like all of them. They are going through hard times but they are still determined and the express their feelings through poetry.
