3rd Independent Reading Book: Does the novel show you what it is like to experience racism, loneliness, first love, and so on?

We Were Here shows what it is like to feel lonely when you enter a new place. Miguel was sent in to Juvenile Hall and then to a group home. When he entered the group home, most of the people there already knew eachother. When he went there, he was all alone. He knew not one person. He would spend his days writing in his notebook and reading different books. A boy named Mong did not like Miguel when he first got there. Everyone there knew not to mess with Mong but Miguel did not really care. Miguel picked a fight with Mong and that was not a smart thing to do. Miguel was all alone in the group home. No one really cared to get to know him. He would eat outside near no one. People started to think he loved reading because thats all he would do at the group home. Since he knew no one, he thought he could pass time by reading books.  He felt alone when he walked in to the group home.
