Connections to "The Skin I'm In"

The book I'm reading is called "The Skin I'm In." The main character of the book is Maleeka. She is bullied because of her very dark skin. Maleeka really hates it because kids at school tease her about it. She is also teased about the clothes her mom makes for her, since her father died and they now are poor. I think I can compare to her in a different matter. Maleeka lost her father and now has to wear what her mom makes her and like me, since my grandfather died its been kind of the same. the difference is that my mom doesn't make my clothes, I just have to wear the same thing every week. It's like she hardly buys me things since my grandfather died because he was like my dad when my real dad was at work. For example, we had a strong relation ship. He took care of me since I was 11 months old and ever since then my parents have to work so I would stay with my grandfather. My lifes' story is similar to Maleekas except my was my grandfather and hers was her father. And she had to wear what her mom made her and I wear the same thing every week. 

i finished reading my other book

I finished reading my book called the boy from the basement.
I thought I was a really good book. I would recommend it to
any one who likes reading books. In the book at the end Charlie
was sent to a foster family and was going to get help to move on.
He was going to get help from a psychologist and his new and
loving foster family. At the end he doesn't have to worry about
his father and his abuse that Charlie didn't even know he was
getting by his father. And now he doesn't have to worry about
the basement either or the spider. At the beginning of the book I didn't think that he was going to get help he needed but he did and I was glad that he mad the mistake going into the street while he was locked out of his house. If he would have never gone behind his fathers back and leave the basement he would have never knew who he was.

Febuary 25. What I'm Reading.....

I am reading the book called "The Skin I'm In" by Sharon G. Flake.I choose this book because I thought it would be interesting to read.Also I really like to read books that are kind of sad sometimes or I like to read books that talk about misery. I think this book is kind of misery because Maleeka dislikes her skin and the way it looks on her. In my opinion this is misery because people make fun of her at school and she doesn't like it. Also what I've read so far, I know that her father has died and after his death she is raised by her mother. Her mother doesn't have much money to buy her new clothes so she is stuck wearing the same clothes every week. I do feel sad for her because she does go to school and that's were they make fun of her more.

REACENT INDE. READING BOOK: The Skin I'm In

Well, this book is the story of a seventh grader named Maleeka. Maleeka has very dark black skin. She used to be proud of it, but when her father died, kids started picking on her. Char, the most popular girl in the grade, makes a deal with Maleeka that if she does her home work, Char will stick up for her, and Maleeka can hang out with her. A new teacher arrives, Miss Saunders. She too gets made fun of because she has a big blotch on her face, which is a birth mark. So far that's what I've read, I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books because I think at the end Maleeka will end up being proud of her skin.
