     In my independent reading book Cyberia the main character Zane, in facing serious problems. Even thought me and the main character share the same name the similarity stops there. Zane lives in the future, and is wired up to a high tech room. It can monitor his blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate and his emotions all at once. For his 15th birthday his dad got him a blue tooth that can connect him to his room. What he doesn't know is that it allows him to talk to animals. when his dog talks to him he completely freaks out, for he doesn't know what to do.

His dog Hugo doesn't like this though so he and a bunch of animals all want to free a group of racing dogs A.K.A gray hounds.

                            In my book "Bad Boy" by Walter Dean Myers hes facing a troubling problem with growing up because with his mom and dad fighting he feels all alone in the city of Harlem, new york. Since he has nobody to talk to he been taking all his anger out on people who upset him. So now he has got himself into so many fights  that he had to be relocated to a new disciplinary school that focus only education and wont tolerate bullying ,so with racism becoming a growing issue in new york he has to find a way to keep out of trouble and off the streets. 

 

   Along with the growing issue of racism he has a speaking disorder so when he speaks in front of a group of people or at school he is unaware of what hes saying and how hes pronouncing it. So now all of his teachers encourage him to write out everything now speak it. Since hes been reading so much Shakespeare instead of writing these essays and short stories he writes poetry and becomes a amazing poet. Since hes still a kid though every makes fun of him and thinks he not a real man.Now without his father  around hes the man of the house and need to take on all of the responsibilities that his dad had. Like feeding him and his mother and supplying money. Now with all this new found responsibility he had to step up to the plate.   

 

With all this stress he doesn't have time to think and sit down and write so he picks up the game of basketball hes good at it too. After a while he figured out he wanted to be a lawyer but everyone kept saying that he couldn't because he was black  and he had a speech imperfection.
