The Crisis and Concerns

My story is a fictional story about how a son faces some problems that hits him at home but helps him realize what is going on in the world and how he has to take a stand. Something that inspired me to write this type of story was the book “Between the World and Me” which shows multiple essays, written as a letter to his son, (main character is his father Coates) where he confronts the idea of race in America and how it has shaped American history, very much so at the cost of black lives. It talks about many incidents that happened: (Trayvon Martin, Micheal Brown, etc)

Here is a link to my website where you can find the story: http://mharris609.wixsite.com/website.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and I hope it makes you feel a type of an emotion or think about it differently and that you enjoy it!
