Rory and I began our study of the actual text of the book. We compared it with the last book that we read. We discovered a big change in time periods. We talked about the progression of rap music from Jay-Z's time to Gucci Mane's. We also discussed Jay-Z's use of poetic terms i.e. couplet, lyrical when describing his music. Rory selected a meaningful quote from the pages that we had read. He cited it correctly and wrote his reaction.
