Blood is Thicker

1. What has surpised you in the book? Why?

What surprised me in Blood is Thicker is Savon's behavior to everyone. In the beginning he was nice to everyone. Would help out his uncle in the store. Since then, he has been causing lots of trouble to everyone. He has even joined a gang after losing weight. Savon thought joining a gang would make him mean. This is what surprised me in the book.

2. How did what you read today make you feel? Why?

What I read made me feel sad about Hakeem because he has a lot on his hands, including taking care of his dad. Savon bugs him about every little thing. Its hard for Hakeem to play his guitar or give guitar lessons to his next door neighbor because Savon keeps his bedroom lock most times which is where he keeps his guitar. Savon does what ever he wants and Hakeem ends up cleaning the mess Savon leaves behind. That is why I feel sad for him. Life is not fair. We must deal with whatever life hands us.
