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.

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.
