The book Random Family has characters that people can relate too. Jessica one of the main characters, is an intellingent person but doesn't use it the right way. Jessica and her family live in Bronx, New York. The family consist of a mother 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Jessica and Cesar are the closest family members. Growing up in the ghetto was hard for them but they got through it and mangaged to survive. With not a lot of money, Jessica dressed as best as she could, so when coming outside all the boys would look at her.
Most girls want to be the ones that get looked at every time they see a good looking boy. Every girl wants to be loved by some boy. All girls want to be the one on top. No other girl can have there man. They don't want there man to be shared.
It all started when she was younger and older men started falling for her. She was young so she aint really know what to do. When she had a boyfriend she had to sleep with him, if not they she felt not loved by him. When her boyfriends would leave her because they found another girls. She didn't care,as long as she got to have sex with them it was o.k. When she was in the 9th grade she got pregnant, but it wasn't by her boyfriend Victor. Jessica was a slezy girl. Having sex was always on her mind. The boys she told that they were the father of her child didn't take no responsibility to take care of no child.
When your 14 nobody wants to take care of no children. Kids are into clubbing, going out, having fun, they aren't ready for no big responsibilities at that age. You see it now out on the street girls getting pregnant not just having one or two kids but 3 or 4.
The characters in this book are believable. I can relate to their predicaments. The extent that this book reminds me of characters is quite well and I can relate too.

Good response Brittany...but you kind of ramble a bit. I look at the third paragraph and am unsure what it has to do with your thesis: that the characters are relevant.
I like that you came back to it in the end though.
