 Summary & Theme:     Trevor stole one of Abel's old cars but got pulled over by the police. In jail, he acted as if he's the tough colored gangster to survive, went through the bail hearing, and eventually got out. Even though Trevor though he handled everything himself, he found out that his mother took care of it like the lawyer and the bail money.  One of the themes in this story is that people tend to pretend to be someone else in order to survive in the group. My Story:      I agree that people pretend to be someone else to survive in a group. It's not always as serious as Trevor's situation, but we do this a lot. Even just a few days ago, I acted as if I knew a lot of information about high schools. I could just stay there and listen to what they were talking about. I am not close friends with them. We don't even say hi in the hallways, so I didn't really have to care what they thought of me. For some reason though, I put on this mask and ta...

Summary:     Trevor and Bongani formed a DJ'ing crew with dancers. The best dancer's name was Hitler, who didn't know anything about what Adolf Hitler did. Once, the crew was invited to a Jewish school's cultural program, and they chanted Hitler's name as he danced. The performance only ended up in a misunderstanding.  Theme:     Misunderstanding between different people can happen in unexpected situations.  My Story:     One day, my mother spontaneously bought me two t-shirts that had 'taste this peaches' written on it. I thought they were nice except for the grammar mistake they had. Since I didn't have many clothes to choose on, I just wore the t-shirts almost all the time, naturally wearing them to KnK too. Once, when I was back home from KnK, I found out that I got an e-mail from one of the teachers, saying that though I probably didn't know, 'taste this peaches' can contain sexual meaning in Western cultures. I was shocked. Quite a lot ...

     In high school, Trevor could not hang out with any of the groups because of his race and him not having enough money. Therefore, he learned how to open up by using humor. He learned how to fit into every group and be all by himself too. From this, I think the theme of the story is that you can open up instead of going into a shell when you are the outsider.     I was not an outsider of the whole school, but there was this certain period that I could not fully fit into these small friend groups. It was because of the difference in interests. When they liked to take selfies, do make ups, wear accessories, and read webtoons, I was not. I was and still can be stubborn about my opinion if I'm sure of it, so I never tried to do things that they liked and fit in either. Going into the shell was not like me too. Therefore, like Trevor, I eventually learned how to get along with people without changing myself or changing them. I just opened up myself more. I hung ou...
