Mexican Whiteboy 3

In the book, Danny talks about how he's a white boy among the Mexicans, and a Mexican among the White people. This topic is brought up a lot of times in this book. They talk about how it's such a terrible experience, it's very isolated. I've kind of had to deal with situation in a couple of my past school. The way it feels is terrible. I was the one of the only white kids in my school. And they separated me like they do in the book with Danny. It was a hard thing to go through. They also knew that I acted like a stereotypical white guy too. I was a nerd. One of the biggest you would find. It was a terrible isolating experience. They haven't really gone through how bad it really was at Leucadia, and I haven't really seen how much isolation he has at National City. I have been isolated in almost every single one of my schools, mostly because I was a nerd or a geek. I was able to get through it with flying colors.

I think the part that really makes this book seem like my life is that he really is isolating himself. I think that in my other schools, I really isolated myself. I felt that because of my race that the people wouldn't want to be my friend. It was also a little bit because they wouldn't have any of the same interests as me. Remember, I was a total nerd. In like a sea of "cool" people. But I think what I learned is what Danny needs to learn. Making yourself isolated won't help you at all. If you say that you are isolated, then you're just going to be more isolated. You need to burst out of your bubble, and make yourself a social butterfly. And just because you aren't the same race as somebody doesn't mean that you can't be friends. That should never be the case.

I think that what happened with me is going to happen with Danny as well. He'll be able to jump over the racial barriers that he has to deal with. Eventually I was able to make friends like he will most likely be able to do
