Have u ever been hated by your color.Well then Response is a good book for u.Responce has alot of hate in it by the color u are white folks hate black people and hurt them for being in there neighborhood.this book is a realistic fiction. This book takes place in a neighborhood named Hiillsboro.There some kid named Noah he is a super senior and has a baby named Destiny Love and he doesnt have enough money to give his baby mama money for Destiny Love so he decided stealing a car would get him six G's and then he wouldnt have too hear Deshawana talk alot of smack at him. He has a job at micky D's but the get paid enough.Noah n some friends go to the town were only white people live and there racists pigs he is in a pizza place were he sees some white kids and his friend wanted too steal there chain so the guess went and told a guy named Charlie him and some friend go and look for Noah and his friend they find them and Noah trips and fall then Charlie and his friends jump out the car and beat Naoh for being black the beat him with a bat and steal his shoes.they took Naoh to the hospital and called his mom and dad his grandma was like oh lord please dont take him.couple weeks go by and charlie got arrested and they told his family there was no bond to get him out there had to be a court because what he did was a hate crime to the black and could have killed Noah with that bat he also got charged for stealing Noah's shoes they had found in the back of his car the same day they arrested him and his friend.Noah had to miss work and school alot to meet with people that were gonna help him get Charlie in jail for a couple of monthes.After a long time of going to see people and missing school and work the date to go to court came and every in Noah's family came to it even one of his teacher his baby girl Destiny Love came after a long time there they gave Charlie 18 years in jail for hate crime.Everything went well Noah justed wished his grandma could have went but sadly she passed alway. I wish that Noah's grandma didnt have to pass alway she was a very amazing person in the book.This book reminds me of when people in my neighborhood fight because of your color and or they dont like black people because how they act there fun poeple i say.i would rate this book a 10 it amazing everyone in the book is amazing. I would recommend this to people who love crime and action if you wanna find out why people who go to school with black get made fun of read Responce I had to arm-twist myself into reading this one. Hurricane Song was really gritty, and gave such a realistic feeling for what life in the Astrodome after Hurricane Katrina must have been like that I was kind of scared to read more. This one starts out with stereotypical black kids trying to steal a car in a white neighborhood, but when they are attacked by some racist white kids, and Noah is badly beaten, the story turns around. I like how the author shows the evolution of Noah's growth throughout the story, and how the families stand up and support them with their moral backbone.
What do You think about Response (2009)?
This books shows that no matter how the world is going to change there is still going to be racism.
