2/15/16 Bronx Character Comparison

Bronx Masquerade is a book about all theses teenagers, probably close to our age. All these kids have a different back story. These backstories explain what the character is like and how they basically live in the Bronx and what's going with their lives living their. Once their backstory is told, they each express themselves more in a creative using poems, after these poems are finished, we then have Tyrone (one of the teenagers) give sort of feedback on the character that was just introduced.

One pair of characters I am going to compare and contrast is Tyrone and Wesley. These characters are somewhat similar, but are of course different. First, Wesley is referred to "the bad boy," but to me he does not seem all that bad. Both charters don't care about school, but Wesley seems to want to care, but just can't for some reason. Tyrone, doesn't really seem to care, and had no dream to care. Both characters seem to have a certainty that they are going to die, but Wesley maybe seems to be scared more then Wesley, Tyrone seems to just have a certainty that he is going to die, and doesn't seem to have any fear that he will die, he just rants on about. We haven't seen much of Wesley yet, but Tyrone is in every chapter, maybe their characters will change.

Another pair of charters that I am going to compare and contrast is Diondra and Raul. First both of these characters keep to themselves. They both seem like they need to keep their personality to themselves. Both characters seem shy and independent, but good hearted. What's different about them is that Diondra has less confidence then Raul. As we can see, Raul is a very bold person, bolder than Diondra by a lot. It seems that Raul has the confidence and Diondra doesn't.
