I started reading Bad Boy by Walter Dean Meyers which is a memoir of Walter's childhood and adult life. Walter lived in Harlem where he either read books or got in trouble Walter was a amazing reader and writer but his teachers didn't see that. Walter struggled in school mostly because he was easily provoked Walter had a speech impediment he didn't notice it but everybody else did. He was constantly in the principal's office and and had to have his mother come to school to conference with his teacher. Even though he was doing terrible in school and being told by his teacher she hated him his teachers thought he was talented person.
In Bad Boy Walter is faced with many difficult questions but Walter overcomes most of them. In one part of the book Walter is asked if he wants to fight Jewish children. Walter ends up fighting them multiple times and he gets caught by the children's mothers or a adult. Walter's parents find out and he gets beaten after that he didn't fight with the Jewish children.
