Question

What's one important thing you learned from the story from Bronx Masquerade? Why did you chose that detail/fact from the story?

Answer 1

Bronx Masquerade is a beautiful portrayal of hat Harlem Renaissance stood  for and how it helps one find their own self identity.  I chose the part because of how effective it is in conveying its message.

Explanation:

Bronx Masquerade by Nikki Grimes is a wonderful book that delves into a classroom study of Harlem Renaissance, an important movement in African American art that influenced a wide variety of art work in the 20th century.

The novel uses the spoken word poetry form which finds its roots in the Harlem and uses it to lay bare the soul of the reader for themselves.

It is an unbridled exploration of the self and to find the qualities embed in humans.  

In a way the book is what it is trying to preach and show which is very important.
