MonkeyMan Letter

2/10/09

Dear Walter D. Myers

Hi my name is Germaine I'm writing a letter to you because I read one of your story's from 145 Street its called"Monkey Man". My reaction to the story was that Monkey man is a man that sticks up for himself. My favorite part of the story is when Monkey man was going to fight he wasn't scared to fight but he didn't want to fight so he let the other guy beat him up. They got scared because they heard the cops coming. he brought his grandfather and his godmother to watch him fight. The part in the story that made me think was when Monkey man brought his grandfather to the fight if his grandfather can't fight and its to cold outside for him to be outside. I Know that his godmother is young age probably like 30 or 40 years old standing outside in the cold. I would not let Monkey man fight at all I would told him to stay home and his grandfather should have call the cops.
