reflection to the hoopster

    The book "The Hoopster" is about a boy named Andre. Andre     must manage school,work,and he likes to play pick up basketball games.

  When reading "The Hoopster" I observed how Andre boss was kind of trying to force him to write about racism. Andres boss main focus looked like he wanted to get Andre to write about slavery and nothing else. Andre had to tell him a million reasons why he cant write about racism. He feels like it doesn't affect him and he cant write about nothing he doesn't have emotion for. I feel like what Andre did was right because he stood up for something he didn't want to do. He kind of took action because if his boss wanted to he could have fired him for not listening.  

       This is one thing i noticed while reading "The Hoopster". One thing i learned is to stand up for your self.
