The Life of Guy

               The poem that I read is called Please "Don't take my Air Jordan's" by Regie Gains. I read this poem some time ago. This poem was about a young man who's desperate on staying cool. The guy has no money but gets cool gear by through worst ways possible, stealing and killing. The thesis of this poem was that you shouldn't steal or kill for things because you might end up how this guy is living which nobody wants. Regie Gains wrote this poem to introduce what you shouldn't do and why the things this guy did in this poem is not right.
               This thesis has everything to do with the main character. The main character seems to be living a sad life because in the poem he said, "and i gots no job no money at all". The main character seems to really care about his reputation in school because he''s always getting new gear. he has no money so he has to steal his gear. He keeps stealing from the mall and never gets caught. Now the main character needs new gear but he can't steal because he said, "but security's tight at all the shops, everyday there are more and more cops". This meant that there are more police guarding the stores where he robs his clothes and shoes. I infer that the main character won't stop stealing because at the end of the story he was so desperate for shoes that he shot a gut and took his air Jordan's. The main character won't probably stop stealing in till he gets caught shop lifting and goes to prison for a long time.
                   This poem can really relate to many people that lost their ways in life. Not many people live like the main character of this poem but some do live a similar way. A person can become like this main character by not being loved or not having someone to take care of them like parents. People like this aren't really happy with there lives and live with gangs or the streets. There are many people in this world that live like this and aren't loved or doesn't have a choice. I believe that people should not live a life of crime because it isn't right and it's not a way of life. People like this should change really find help and change their way of life so they can live a good and happy life which is what almost everyone wants.
