Sweet Lemon Brown

I thought this story was kind of interesting to read because of all of the different scenes that go on in the story. I made some connections with Lemon Brown being homeless, and how Greg's dad pushed him with his grades and how he needs to succeed later on in his life. But all in all, after I read the story I really thought back about the beginning of this story how Greg had not cared at all what his father had to say. That was until Lemon Brown had talked with him when they had met in the house, and at the end of the story he was smiling about knowing he was going to get a lecture from his dad. The end of the story really made sense and was comparable to what Lemon Brown and Greg had their conversations about. This connects to what we learned about homelessness because we learned that not all homeless people have to look poor or look like they are dirty and messy. In the end, Greg changed from a moody teenager to a teenager who now understood his responsibilities and what must be done to have the important happiness in his father's mind.
