UNIQUE ME I have observed tons of kids nowadays forming groups and clubs and that sort of thing very often‚ but what discerns me is that the numbers of people in these groups are HUGE!!!

The opening paragraph of “Between the World and Me” had me thoroughly confused. I had no idea where the author was going to take me and what a journey it was. To have a modern point of view of a black man’s life and how he is raising his family with today’s prejudices is extremely interesting. I don’t have any black friends‚ just coworkers that I hang out with out after work once in a while.
