i have been reading 50 cent's "playground" it is about a boy named butterball he used to live in new york city but his mom decided to leave his dad and move to garden city where he would go to a school he would hate and never live down what happened while he was there. 

             I feel like i have a connection to this book because its about a boy who makes mistakes and learns the consequences for being a trouble maker but there is also another aspect of this book I didnt have to go through when i made my mistakes. He is bullied because of his weight and the way he looks and he never really learns to trust anyone because he always winds up getting hurt so he figures whats the point when I know nothing good will come of it. His passion is movies and he loves to do it but his mom isn't in the best situation for alot of money so its difficult for him to experience what he loves but for now he's watching tons of movies. I think it will end happily with butterball going somewhere he loves and ends up doing what he loves to do which is what everyone should do.
