- When I was young, I met a friend who was from the United State, and she was black. I thought that she's not from our country, so we don't play with her. But when I read the poem and the book I found in the Library earlier this year, I felt so bad for her, and suddenly I just wanted to hug her so much and say sorry to her. I really regret that I didn't play with her.

There are many rights, but mainly, the book wrote about racism, at first I thought "I don't know what Racism means, let's turn the page" but then as I read along, I understand Racism better and see that it's a REALLY BAD THING, and I should never racist. When we read the poem in class, it reminds me of the book.
