What I learned about the Harlem Renaissance is that Langston Hughes is a musical man. He wrote music,plays and even had his own opera.

I think they like the Harlem Renaissance because most of them are african american. They like hearing about a black man doing good in life.

I wasn’t here for when we talked about the Harlem Renaissance so i have no idea what we did. The kids in the classroom are so excited because its about the old time and the kid love talking about it. I think I have the most connections with is Tyrone because most of the things that happen to him is what happens to me. That is why I think we have the most connections. What person in the book do you have the most connections with and why?

Something that i learned is that the Harlem Renaissance are that they were people that lived in a time period a long time ago. I think that the kids in Mr Wards class are fascinated by this time period because of all the things that they did. Such as music, poems, and many more things. The character that i like the most is tyrone. He is cool because he likes to rap, and i like rap music.
#902 The character that I most am like is Leslie. I am like her because she misses her friends. With me it is hard to make friends after you leave one place or say your best friend leaves to go to and other school and you have no say about them leaving. Now that she goes to another school it is kind of easier for me to make friends now that she goes to another school and that means that now i am getting to know more people and getting more friends.
#947 Something i learned from the harlem renaissance is that music was pretty tight and cool, i thought music from way back then was boring
I think the kids were fascinated because they are learning about that time period and they find it interesting cause of all the things that happened in that pacific time.
I feel mostly connected to Raul cause me and him like to draw and i kinda have a poor family.I like tyrone because now he doesn’t care what other people think of him.
the person i dislike the most is Lupe cause she wants to get pregnant when she’s only 14 years old.
922
Something that I learned is that they different music in the Harlem Renaissance.
The reason why I think the kids in Mr. Wards class like this time period is because they like writing poetry.
My favorite person in Bronx Masquerade is Judianne. I like Judianne because she designs her her own clothes. But I feel bad for her because her step dad calls her ugly.
930
Something that i have learn from the harlem renaissance is all the people that have all kinds of skills. The times when those people who create like art and starting writing poetry is when in new york that is call that harlem renaissance. So that time many people start to sing and write songs and got famous. Today we still see those music that after the harlem renaissance, for example like jazz and blues. So that time when harlem renaissance is very important that a lot of people create like music ,art,and writing poetry.If there no harlem renaissance i think jazz and blues would not exist.
913
What i learned about Harlem Renaissance is that he was into art. He also liked music. He had a collection that consisted of 1,305 pieces of African-American music sheet that were from 1850-1920.

I think the students in Mr. Ward’s class are fascinated by this time period because they like poetry and they feel comfortable sharing their feelings in front of their classmates.

The character i really don’t like from Bronx Masquerade is Tyrone because he talks bad stuff about the people that he does not like.
#900
One thing that i learned about the Harlem Renaissance is that they listen to Blues! Also the people are into poetry and art...
I think that the reason why the students in Mr. Wards are fascinating about this time period because they are into poetry and the Harlem Renaissance was involved with poetry.
I think I'm mostly like Tanisha because i used to have really really long hair but now, its not that long. I don’t really like the way most of the people in Bronx Masquerade fell about themselves they doubt themselves a lot and it just makes them feel worse.
#929 I think #930 is right jazz and blues would not be here
#947 I agree with you 930 people do have skills and there harlem renaissance was just one way to show it
#945
Hey #922 I agree with you I also learned that there are different kinds of music in the Harlem Renaissance. I also agree with what you had said about the kids liking poetry I am sure they really like writing poetry.
From #902
Dear 922
That is pretty mean abut what her step dad says about her.
924
What I learned from the Harlem Renaissance is that they had a lot of composers. Some of the composers are like Fats Waller,James Hurbert “Eubie” Blake, or William Grant still think that the kids in Mr. Ward’s class are fascinated by the time period because they might be living throw this time. Or because they might be kids that like to learn about that. Last but not least the character I dislike from Bronx Masquerade is Lupe. That is because I think she is to young to have her life this way.
From #902
Dear #900
Your right about how in Bronx Masquerade and how they all doubt themselves.
#947 Hey 922 and 902 that dad is really mean to Judianne and thats not right at all
#945
I think #930 is right jazz and blues would not be here if it was not for them.
# 905
I agree with 930 because different people do have different abilities.
924
Dear 922,
I agree with you but I also don’t like the fact that her stepdad calls her ugly that is just not nice.
#938
something i learned about the harlem renaissance was that they listed to jazz and the blues. during world war one, many people took advantage of the employment opportunities.
I think that they are fascinated by this time period because they could connect with some of the traits in the stories. Also, some passages might have helped them learn more about other races.
my favorite person in bronx masquerade is tyrone. Because he helps people and can do things on his own.
Dear 930
#913

#900 to #945

#947 Hey 930 your right cause jazz was like born in the harlem renaissance so its great we have jazz today
From 930
To 947 I agree to you that i dislike when lupe is only 14 and she is pregnant.

What I learned about the Harlem Renaissance is that there is allot to learn about it like the type of music they listed to and what artist was there at that time. They are excited because they like to learn about the old times.
The kids in Mr. wards class are fascinated by this time period is that they keep learning it because it is importent to learn about the Harlem renaissance. There is allot to learn about the renaissance.
The character that I have a connection to is not really any one.The character that I dislike is the mean kids that be mean to like the girl that is not good enough.
From #902

924
Dear 913,
I agree with what you said that you learned about the Harlem Renaissance.
#940
I learned that Harlem Renaissance wrote an opera with the composer James P. Johnson. And that he was supported financially and emotionally by Charlotte Mason.
I think the kids in Mr. Ward’s class are fascinated by this period of time because their doing poetry.
The character I have the most connections to is Gloria because im responsible im young i’m really brave and i’m hard worker when ever i need to be except that i’m not creative thats the only thing that i don’t have a connection to her but yeah all of the rest i do specially brave!! =]]
924
Dear 940,
I also like Gloria because we are young and we can be brave. But we are not all creative. I anyways like what you said about Gloria. Good job!! I like it.
905
Dear 940,
I think that what you said about Mr wards class liking the harlem renaissance because they are studying poetry is a good thought.
930

913
Dear 924
I agree with you,Lupe is way to young have her life this way she should just enjoy it while she can.
#900 Hey #930 i disagree on the comment you left #947. Lupe is not pregnant she just WANTS to have kids so she's not lonely.

922
Dear 929 and 940 you guys are both right.
dear 947 i agree with you because lupe is way to young to have a child but she just don't want to feel lonely.

Something I learned about the Harlem Renaissance is that alot of the people had something to do with art. There were more than fourteen people who had something to do with art.
I think that the students in Mr. Ward’s class are fascinated by the Harlem Renaissance time period because there is alot of poetry. And like there is so much poetry and the student like to write poetry, so they like that time period, were they could learn and know alot about poetry.
The character from the book Bronx Masquerade that I like the most is Lupe because she works very hard in school and also works hard on taking care of her baby. She also doesn’t like to get bad grades just like me.
