Dear Mr. Aronson, I REALLY liked Race! At first, when I heard we were reading it, I thought “ Oh great. It’s the first week of school and we’re already reading boring books.” When I saw the actual book, I got even more depressed because the school had taken off the covers so it was just black. But, once we started reading it, I was captivated. These are exactly the things I am interested in! When I showed Race to my parents they both agreed that was exactly what I liked. I’m interested in history and in looking at humans and analyzing them. So, reading about some of my favorite topics was fun. Also by reading Race I learned some important things. For example, I never knew that Ghandi met with an African-American man named Howard Thurman. I also learned about race theories and theorists. I had never known that so many people had theories! What I find even more amazing is what people would believe. I had many things that I liked about this book. But, overall, my favorite part was the dedication. I don’t know why, but it was. Maybe it was that it was because it was from the heart. Sincerely, Ella Lubienski
