Shelf Life

Emako’s dream was becoming a singer. She has many struggles to overcome. Some of her struggles were to get out of Los Angeles; she didn’t like it there because so many problems to face daily. There were times she wished she could just get out there and start a new life. Emako was a girl the always got what she wants because she worked hard for it.
The number one thing she hated about where she lived were the people that got her brother in gangs. That’s why she always worries about when he will be home .Once he’s home all the drama begins for her. She has to be careful and is always watching over her back because people could shoot at her. In school she will participate in everything and also will help people out and be there when they need a friend. She has many friends because her attitude was friendly.

Sometimes when people join a gang they never think about their family member. All they care is just having fun and not caring about anything else or anybody. Life could change in a second! It’s also like a rollercoaster, we all have our ups and downs even though we think nothing like that will ever happen to us. We just have to get used to it people live and die every day so I don’t know why we get so scared when that happens. We have to express our feelings toward our family members because we never know when we live or die. I will recommend this book because it shows people be to value there live and there family member. It explains what happens when join a gang.
