Bronx Masquerade: Finished Reading

Mr.Ward is their teacher. He seems like a really good one too. He encourages the kids and tells them that "The future is ours, Let us have it." He in some ways reminds me of Mr. Keatings from the movie Dead Poet Society. They both encourage their students to express their true feelings. Other teachers didn't like either of them. Teachers didn't like Mr.Ward because students would skip their classes and go to Mr.Wards class for Open Mike. They didn't like Mr.Keatings because he didn't go by the guidelines.

WOW. All these kids have some problems. They are in 11th grade with kids, and getting abused, and bullying. The whole class should be on the Jerry Springer show. I didn't really enjoy the book to much. It was to much like freedom writers, a ghetto class with all this drama. But then the teacher brings them all together.
