Corderrius Gray My response on the book call Living the life by
Johana Vizarrage



My response on it book is that I had a friend that die because of gang violence. I can feel were she is coming from with it story, I felt the same way about went I hear that my friend got shot because he was in a car with one of his friend that was in the gang and the person that the other gang wanted to shot unstill of shot the person that was in the gang they shot my friend. When I found out about that I went crazy. I was mad I wanted to be in any gang to try to find the person that shot my friend and show they how is feels to loose someone like a friend. For about 2 months past and I was still in no gang because I said to myself “if I join a gang what would be differ from anybody” so I did not join any gang. I knew that my friend wanted to go to high school and go to poem, so that is why I do it for him so we both can be happy. Now it has been 9 years I had not join any gang at all. I am now in my senior year in high school and I’m about to graduation on June 9th 2008, and I still alive. I go to church every Sunday to make my life a living vine. When I started going back to church I did not know about the bible, now I know more then I know. This is the why I can response to Johana Vizarrage on her book.


Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye land.
Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth all generations.
