When I'm done reading "Our America i expect to be sattisfied with the book. though i must say that I'm almost finished with the book and it doesn't seem like I'm going to be because i didn't think it was mostly about the Eric Morse incident. though i did expect that it would be about the different crimes that happened in the hood but also about Lealan and Lloyd and more about their lives growing up in the hood.the book does shows some of their background but i felt like it wasn't enough of it because i didn't expect it to be the incident of Eric Morse.
I most definitely feel that they made a point writing the book there was a purpose there is a purpose. it was to get people attention on how they feel and how they live and a cry out to America. They were saying we are not invisible we are somebody and we have been walked over and passed by like no one cares. i understand where they are coming from they wanted to be heard and they have because it opened my eyes to look at things a little bit differently from how i thought they were though my thoughts were similar my mind was not that much open like it is now. there was a time when i was in an abusive relationship and because i didn't want my little sisters to know what was going on, and to think that it was ok to have a relationship like that i kept it secret. i struggled with that for a long time because i didn't know what to do but me being me i wanted to handle the situation on my own. i finally told my mother when i had enough and i made her promise not to talk about it in front of my sisters. but one day when i told her about the destruction he put to the house she went off and told my stepfather everything. instantly i started crying and my younger sisters heard everything and just started bawling and crying too i felt so stupid as if i failed them because i didn't succeed in keeping it from them. seeing them brake down like that because i was in some deep trouble it showed me that i need to make different decisions for the future. i also felt like i had to be strong in order for them to be strong like the general to an army or a pastor to a church. that's what Lealan and Lloyd were in their own way two young guys who were able to become the general of the wells. they didn't do it by having the most money or selling the best weed or the most drugs. they did it by speaking up taking charge and being strong for their hood. i would say that they wanted value over success but they started getting both i yearned for success with added value i just wanna be successful.
