Book Reviews of Learning Tree
Book Review: Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban
Summary: 5 Stars
I think Harry Potter is a great book. It's about a little boy, Harry Potter, who's mother and father died. If you have read the frist book you'll know the beginning. He read the newspaper , the Daily Prophet, and find out that the prisoner of Azkaban escaped. The meets the prisoner, Sirus Black, a few times and Harry thought he was bad. Harry actually finds out his was his father's best friend. The Ministery of Magic doesn't believe Harry and is still trying to catch Black. They evenually catch Black and locked him up. The headmaster at the wizardary school, Hogwarts, is the only one to believe Harry and gives him something called a "Time Turner" (something that goes back in time). Harry and his friend goes back 3 hours, just before Black gets captured, and hides him from the Ministery of Magic. They did this because then they would have enough time to tell the Ministery of Magic what had happened. They evenually finish the school year and win the House Cup.Book Review: I cannot wait for the DVD

Gordon Parks, was a photographer, director, writer, and such a gift to the human race. The Learning Tree was is one of my favorite movies. The book is better than the movie but the movie scores high marks as well, because it not only entails racism and growing up in the south but it is of a boy coming of age it is stories within stories he binds them so well together. Family life is the center that is the foundation and he spreads that in the book between various individuals in that town. How a town may come together or be torn apart by lies and truths.Book Review: I couldn't put the book down!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the story of young Newt Winger who was a black youth growing up in the 1920's. Newt had to go through more things in his teen years than most people experience all their lives. He was witness to so many of his friends and aquaintances dying very violent deaths; some at the hands of white people. He was told by his teacher at the white high school that he would never amount to anything other than a bus boy or a porter because he was black. However, Newt and his mother Sarah had much bigger dreams of college and they were determined that he would make it. I loved this story. It was so good that I could hardly put the book down for a moment without racing back to read it. I only wish that their was a sequel so that I could see how Newt's life turned out when he went to the big city to live after his mother's death. This book definately gets a 5 star rating from me!Book Review: I'm not much of a reader, but when I picked this book up I coul not put it down.

In the book "The Learning Tree" Mr. Parks points out some very powerful issues that we still are at contraversy about today. He writes about interracial dating as well marriage. Also teen pregnancy as well as teen sex. That right there alone disturbs in my opinion a lot of people when they even hear about it. But I think that's good that he's expressing issues people can relate to. Then and now, because in some cases the color of your is looked upon before anything else. Gordon Parks is a very well known author in my family. I have a great respect for his writing, mainly because he sees eye to eye with the truth of the matter at hand in his wriBook Review: J-mal "Learning Tree Review["
