Summary: I learned something new while reading. Looking in the table of contents, I saw that this books is written in loops. I don't know if a loop is a literary term or something that he made up. If it is something that he made up then it sounds pretty interesting and could be used forevermore. So basically what goes on in this section is that hip hop is actually invented and the violence and whatnot doesn't come along in these parts of the book.
Quote: "At the same time, discos were shutting down and house parties were declining, partly because gangs like the Spades were making them unsafe" (Chang 77).
Reaction: My reaction to this is that discos may have been gettting old. I say that because the quote says they were shutting down. Therefore I think that it was too old. Anyway, this is where hip hop starts to generate.

you need to expand the summary section to include more information from the pages read.
ReplyDeleteloops is a good term, and it fits the book's style very well!
