This has been alot that has gione through in just a little bit of time. its awful that to figure out who he really is and what his prepferance is that has to endure all of this awful stuff.No one no wmatter what they do should have to do this . The things that go on in jail behind bars just drives me crazy and its outragous and the this that even men go through. I never knew before reading this book that men could go through as much as women could go through when they get raped beaten and all of the horrible things.

Fish:memior of a boy soldier (99-113)
On page 99 it writes about the first time he fell in love with the game of baseball. the feelinghe had when he first heared it who were hios influences and the his favorite player. this could really help him remember the good times he had as a kid. when ever he would pass slide step he wold get nervous because he is afraid of what to say to him. In chapter 15 this is all about tim and slide step playing basket ball and how the whole point of the game is to humiliate the oppenent.so when he called out a foul slide step didnt care so he just dominated the game and beat tim. Which triggerd a memory about him in middle school in gym when he was emmbrassesd to take a shower with the other people. By the end of their game tim calls him a "black bastar" it was just a quick reaction to him when he got embrassed so he ran off to his cell. slide step ran after him and when he opened the door slide "he was kissing him passionatly as the tears continued down his face.we climbed under the bed vto hide from veiw of a passing gaurd and slide step f***** me for the first time". In chapter 16 slide step tells him that he has feelings for him.

i thought that this was very confusing because slide step when he found out the at he owned t.j. he seemed a little discourard but at the same time he knew he would be a new addition. Now he is having feelings for him and tim doesnt know what to do about it. Every new chapter starts with his memory and that tells me a little bit of what the story is about in a way.I think that by the end of this he will finally know who he really is.

Fish memior of a boy in a man's prison (41-103)
During these few chapters he writes about the rape and how it happened. In chapter 12 he writes about when he gets transformed from Jackson to Riverside correctional facility. While he is there he tells about how it is run a and how it looks like inside and outside where he sleeps and everything about it. Also Parsell tells about his ID number and if the number is smaller then you have maybe been there for a while. But if the number is more then you’ve been there not that long. Some of things about his cells where he sleeps how he feels in it. When he goes to the lunch room and he meets a couple of guys who he later knows that they are bad people.
The guys are slide step, red,and chet . During there he meets] they talk about a drink that has that could get them buzzed. The first time he tasted it he said that it tasted a little bitter and he didn’t like it at first. But by the second drink he got used to the biter taste. In the drink there was a fruit that is the real part that could get you buzz and even dizzy. But after the second cup he became dizzy almost fainted chet, the older fellow took him to his room along with slide step and red and all gang reaped him. When it was over he felt disgusted with himself that he didn’t know what to expect to do it with a guy. He tries to block out the thought but somehow always comes back and he re-lives it all over again.

1. “the thought of having been won in a coin toss was too much for me to take in”.
2. “oh my god . What happened to me”.

My thoughts about him getting raped must be horrible especially because he is a guy and you barley ever hear a guy getting raped. I had a feeling that those two were planning to do something horrible but no that bad. When I read that part I was so surprised at the detail he gave and it really felt like I could feel his pain somehow. The coin toss was not necessary I really don’t get the whole point of that it basically means that he is his property for the time being there. That must be the hardest time in his life that he goes through. I cant imaged the feeling he must be feeling after it is all done

Quote
"i was too aashamed to admit it at the time, but the fact that she was a black woman, or that she had on waytoo much make-up had nothing to do with it. It was because she was a woman" This means that he is gay before he was to go to his sentence hearing but he too afaraid to admit it to any one.
Reactions
My reaction this this auto biograpghy is that this so far he is just goes back and forth with everything. when he was talking to about the jail holding experience he went back to the time when he was with his stepmother sharon and how he said that she could discipline him because she wasnt his mother. also when he is the hoding cell he taks about gym and how he would just get an F like he does in gym class in school. He also that when he was talking about this that he has afraid of getting naked in front of everyon else. another example of this is when he refers back to the neighborhood how the whites live in the suburbs and in jail there is only three whites and the rest black.
