Reading Response 3-22-10

Of beetles & Angels (36)
"One day, two of my classmates, a light-skinned black kid named Dennis and a skinny white kid named Marc, jumped me on the way home"

This passage as a reader was visual in a way because in my past I've seen this happen and I also find myself falling in the path of the "jumpee" I know the experience. Though visual it may seem its not very suitable for this book because knowing the author was a Harvard graduate I would expect better word choices rather then slangy misconception words..
