Summary: New life
Comment: The book Jesse. It was a very different to me to how differ from my culture to American is. Differences is make me think a lot of my past. I think I was had a very easy life with my teenage. I thank to my parants. But I don't remerber I was have any gender for my futures. I thnik the Jesse and his brother had a right choice for their future. And I hope they never give up for there dreams. I think this book is good for the who have no idear for the differens to been a poor or rich. I leand a lot of stuffs alike they have a not much choice of their meal. And they are worked hard and study but still they don't have a enough money for the extra stuff to do as like when they want to go to little vacations because they don't have a car so they have to looking for a ride and some how they never get to there but the Jesse and his brother is still happy to there little vacations I really like to there appreciation so I really recommend to young people and from a differen culture.

Summary: Jesse
Comment: Reading Jesse was a good experience it helped me understand a little more on how my ethnicity group had to work to survive. It also helped me get my thoughts cleared about being a successful person. It not only showed what daily struggle Jesse faced but the lack of support from his mother. What I like about the book Jesse was how it showed Mexican children or teenagers working to make a living and to become something other than a field worker. There's nothing wrong with becoming a field it just should be for Mexicans. Mexicans should think about moving up.
What I didn't like about the book was that it really didn't go into detail for me. It need a little more action or adventure to it. It was just tell story after story or situation after situation. A little more action would have made it a great book and not just an ok book.
The reason I would recommend this book to other is because it came from a local and Hispanic writer. Gary Soto writes from out point of view what we go through what we suffer and what we have to detail. Its great to know that Gary Soto is a Hispanic provide. Recommending it only lets Hispanic know that have someone to be proud of.

Summary: One Dream Of Freedom
Comment: Jesse is a 17 teen year old man who just moved out with his older brother Abel. He is attending Fresno State University. Abel and Jesse are afraid of the Vietnam War. They don't want to be drafted and then the pressures of school. They work on a farm where they pluck and pull whatever is in season. Abel does end up getting drafted and Jesse wants to go enlist so he can protect his older brother. Jesse's friend Jesus tells him not to go. Jesse listens to Jesus and goes back to his field labor job. I think this can relate to young man going through a dysfunctional family. As a side affect of that he has problems with girls. He has confusion about goals in his life.
