Blog on A Tale of Two

It is pretty crazy how the two stories differed so drastically. To me it seemed like the African American boy (Byron) must work more hard in life than the white boy (Max). It seems like the white boy had everything handed down to him and he didn't have to work as hard for what he wanted in life (including his house, which his parents even helped with the payment for). I feel like i relate more to Byron because my parents are already at a financial problem because my mom is going through cancer and is a therapist; so she has not been able to work for the past 6 months with all of her chemotherapy. I even work two jobs so that I can help out with some bills at home, and Byron seems to have worked hard in his life as well, considering he also helps his parents from time to time with the bills/finances. It was a pretty eye-opening story to read about how different two people's lives from two different cultures can be.
