This chapter is called "A Jamaican Story." This chapter is the epilogue. It starts with a story about a couple who had twins. They lived in Jamaica. The twins went to a private school with a scholarship, and then they got a scholarship to colleges in England. There, one of the twins married a fellow student. This is the story of the author's mom. Then, he goes on to explain why her story isn't completely true. Her mom didn't to the private school. A fellow student who won two gave her one. Also, at the time she went to college, the British were giving scholarships to people from the Caribbean as a sorry for slavery. He concludes with that hard work and good luck make you successful. I think this good was okay. It dragged on for awhile. Overall, it was still interesting.

House Response

I analyzed Jamie Isaia and Anthony Malat's home. Their house looks overly stuffed at first but then the little things look beautiful. All of the little things are filled with detailed. At first, I wanted to throw seventy five percent of the things in their house in the trash, but then I realized everything worked together. Everything went together and if one was taken out nothing would work. I slowly fell in love with the house. I just feel bad who ever has to clean their house. Overall, the house has a very elegant feel. I think the little details within the clutter makes the house elegant.

This chapter is called "Marita's Bargain." The chapter mostly talks about how the US is falling behind in eduation due to summer vacation. In New York, there is a school called KIPP. It is based in the ghetto. Most of the students there come from one parent households. These children go year round. They usually start below average but by the end of the year they are above average. The main message in this chapter is that it doesn't matter where you come from as long as you work hard. I really enjoyed this chapter because it gave me hope for the kids in the ghetto who want to get out.
