Rameck Journal Entry
Entry 5-
As of now all of the boys are heading on a downward path. Rameck is currently hurt after him and his friends got in a fight with some Arlington kid which got Rameck shot. He is now realizing he is struggling and needs to change his way of life. Sampson decided to go to Harlem for drugs and money but soon after comes to his senses and realizes it’s not the right path as well.
Although Rameck is willing to change he is lacking the effort. He silly strings his teacher which gets him suspended. This is where all three of the boys started to bond. Rameck realizes he should become a doctor and decides to chase after his dream with the assistance of his new 2 friends.

They do not want to change who they are or compromise their culture. I personally didn’t expect for them to disobey the dress code and not want to get dressed up. I believe they should have because patients expect to see doctors dressed up, but I can refer to where the boys are coming from by not wanting to change their lifestyle. I believe you should have to follow the same procedure the rest of the class has. In life you won’t get to pick and choose how you live and work, so I’m glad the author throws in this universal truth about what you can and cannot do.
