I am for the Masses

I speak on behalf of my teenage brothers, wherever you may be: in life's peril in Iraq, fighting to be Madonna's next child in Africa, or living the simple life. I strongly believe the teenage years is a universal phenomenon no matter your beliefs or how you were raised. As I write down some of the greatest most intriguing moments--good or bad--of my life both in the past and yet to come i hope i can connect to my readers in some level. I am your friend and as your life goes through the same ups and downs, twist and turns as mine, i will always be your one universal constant.

Before i began my postings, I looked into major biographical, autobiographical, and memoir books that were successes .There have been several books published about the lives of families or sometimes about certain individuals like The Grapes of Wrath, which depicts the life of a family struggling through the great depression, and the Diary of Anne Frank, the story of a young Jewish girl during the Holocaust. I then thought about what these two books had in common. They both told the story about people who were suffering during major events in the history of the World. I thought about this. I am a teenager, who has not yet seen life at its fullest, born into a middle-class family, therefore have never suffered from being poor or being homeless, nor have I ever had to hide from people in order to save my life. As a matter of fact I sit on my but most of the time in my couch in my house watching TV. Yeah! This piece of literature that I am trying to write is sure to be a hit, right? I then began to think deeper. For so long, the average reader has been so accustomed to reading biographies and autobiographies about people who have suffered and who have either stayed that way and died or who have somehow roes above to become some very important person. So why not turn the tables for a chance and give a boy, who’s only read probably a total of fifteen books all the way through, who’s got the slightest bit of talent in the art of writing, an opportunity to talk about his life, desires, beliefs, and dreams, and a chance to show the world something new.
