The 57 Bus is based off of a real-life incident, talking about a story of an 18 year old agender person named Sasha, and 16  year old African-American teen named Richard. In the book, the author talks about the life story of these two teens, and all the trouble they had to go though before the accident, the fire. The main issues that are mentioned in the book are racism, gender, discrimination, and social justice.

I personally didn’t enjoy the book as much my classmates did, and I thought there were many parts that were difficult to understand and also kind of pointless. :/

In the image above, I write about the setting and explain what happened in the story. The setting is Oakland, California, and the accident happened on November 4th, 2013.  At the time Oakland was counted as the second most dangerous cities in the world, and 2/3 of all the accidents and deaths happened in the more poor area. That was also were Sasha got attacked by Richard.

This spider-graph shows the life of Sasha, her school life, her friends, and her experiences. It also shows what kind of person she is and her personality.

This cause and effect graph shows the different reasons why Richard has lit the skirt, and also shows what happened after the flames. Richards mistake was a bad idea and he really regrets his moves.

On this page, it has why Richard has been charged as an adult, although he was only 16, and also the reasons why he shouldnt have been charged this way. There are also many quotes to support why he shouldnt have been charged this way.

In conclusion, I didnt really like the book, however if you are interested in this topic and want to learn more about the lgbtq+ community, then you should definitely read this book.

Humanism during the renaissance is the time when everyone looked back to 500 B.C.E. – 400 C.E. when the ancient Greeks and Romans thrived. In this time, humanists learned about their art style, architecture, language (latin), and culture. The renaissance was also a time where science and technology was developed. For example, there was Leonardo Da Vinci with his sketches and designs of flying ‘airplane’ things, Nicolaus Copernicus who found out that the earth isn’t in the middle of the solar system but the sun is, William Shakespeare the english playwright, poet, and actor, and many many more others. (Most of these famous people were also humanists.)

As a result of my rankings, I guess you could say I am a humanist.
