I decided to read this book because it is based on someones life as a boxer and how it impacted others. I thought this was a good book because it shows that you can be whatever you want to be if you put your mind to it.

The book that i am reading is called The dark portal and its about a gang in the ghetto and they use the term rats and sewers for ghetto boys who are struggling and how they are living in the ghetto. They are really a lot of problems those kids that are in the gangs.

I decided to read this book because I thought that it would be amazing and that it would be a cool experience and I also thought that it was going to be a great story because i read other I survived stories and I though that this was amazing. So in short words the story was about a family that was going to new York on the Hindenburge because the other planes that the Nazi people had used was shot down with people on it and the mother and father wanted to travel safely and they had to get to New York fast because their daughter Gurty was sick and they had to get her to a hospital and they went through a big thing with the Nazi men and they had the hindenburge got shot down and they escaped and they had a happy ending and the daughter was ok and they had a son named Hugo.

I would say that this book is really amazing and I recommend it for other kids and this was a very good book about a kid who was in his late teens like 17 and he was involved in a gang and this man that worked at a corner store was killed and they took him and arrested him because they thought that he was guilty of killing him but at the end they caught the man who did it and he was able to go back home with his family but he went through a lot of problems and his mother was always crying because they took him away from her and his father was mad but sad because his son was locked up and he never did anything and his little brother was sad too. But he got out and he made a film about what happened and when he was back in school he showed it to the class and he lived a lot better after that and his family were together again.

This book is about a girl name Tish Bonner making an entry to the teacher that cant read it, about her personal life. I recommend this book because it very interesting and it has a lot of real life situations people go through (good and bad). I was distracted because all the kids were making noise next to my ear.
