memoir book

This week in class we chose our memoirs for the upcoming project. The memoir i chose was My Bloody Life the making of a Latin king. I chose this because it seemed really intense and real and right away i wanted to know more when i first heard about it in class. My memoir is a story about a young runaway Reymundo Sanchez who joins the Latin Kings at the age of 14 by committing his first hit(murder).The story Reymundo has to tell is remarkable knowing all the horrible things he did at a young age in the streets of Chicago.He lived the highs of the gang life but also lived the lows the life can bring. Knowing we have to do a presentation on our memoir i thought a presentation to the class about the gang life would be really interesting to the class. All together i'm really happy with the memoir i chose and i look forward to reading more into it and learning more about the crazy life of Reymundo Sanchez. knowing we have a large presentation on our memoir im glad i have something that will shock the class when i present. His story is shocking and frightening at times. When people first hear about it they dont believe it which is why i think its so powerful. knowing i have something so powerful will allow me to get into my presentation which is important. Sometimes the material you have to present with isn't important to you and then your presentation shows. Im just glad i will be able to give a good presentation to the class and not bore them.
