As you know i am read the book Our America as well. The journey LeAlan and Llody are on is the journey to success. They are working on gettin their story out in the world. Showing young people it's not hard to do something postive with your life, if you just believe in yourself and find something that interest you or find something you like to do. They are on this journey because they want to be successful so they came back to the hood and show other it's possible for a kid in the proects to make it out. As they go along leAlan and Lloyd would get discourage form time to time but they kept going. just like on page 152 they lawyer of johnny said he cuts out newspaper stories about LeAlan and Lloyd and hange them over his bed in prison. LeAlan said on page 153 " h guess they have became a symbolize something to him-what he could have been or what he should be have been. That's all LeAlan and Lloyd wanted was to people to recongnize them for what they were working so hard to accomplish was which to make change. The jounery i plan on pursuing is my career in broadcasting or modeling. Its breaks down to broadcasting is something i want to do but modeling is my passion because i grew up on modeling and i really like it. I also like journalisnm as well. I would say they both are my CHILDREN I PLAN TO RAISE.
Jordan:
In my book Our America my characters didn't have to leave their comfort zone to better themselves. Matter of fact their comfort zone was their inspiration. My characters lived in a bad community but by that then seen the problems and struggles. So instead of leaving they stayed and tried to make their community better. But on page 153 the character LeAlan said "A year has passed since we started the story, and nothing has changed in the Ida B. Wells". I somethings you just can't change but the fact is nobody can't never say nobody cared or tried to change the projects.
