Chapter 2

In the second chapter of the book Ishmael has a sad mood for he feels depressed. The reason that Ishmael feels depressed is that his parents do not really pay attention to him at all since he is not very great at school. Ishmael feels more depressed since his parents only pay attention to his younger sister who is smarter than he is with an IQ close to being a genius like Albert Einstein. I can relate a little with Ishmael here since I am not the most brilliant and my family and also, because my dad pushes to be more like my oldest brother Xavier. When my dad says that I should be more like XavieI feel more motivated to do more better than what my brother did, but I have yet not accomplished that goal to this day.
