The Sad Fish. Who is the sad fish? I believe that all the world's fish are sad. In this story the sad fish is Red Fish and his friend Blue Fish. Why would fish be sad? Let's begin with the water. Water is a gift from God. All living people, creatures, plants, animals, and fish need water to survive live and flourish. This is what Red Fish is trying to say to the people of planet Earth. It is not enough that people are destructive to everything on Earth. It is also the fact that people take things for granted. This is especially true with water! People like to camp and fish near water. As a result, they leave all of their garbage and plastic bottles on the ground or in the water. In this stor...
They called themselves "Vampires," "Dragons," and "Egyptian Kings." They were divided by race, ethnicity, and neighborhood boundaries, but united by common styles, slang, and codes of honor. They fought--and sometimes killed--to protect and expand their territories. In postwar New York, youth gangs were a colorful and controversial part of the urban landscape, made famous by West Side Story and infamous by the media.

Eric Schneider takes us into a world of switchblades and slums, zoot suits and bebop music to explain why youth gangs emerged, how they evolved, and why young men found membership and the violence it...

In the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, 1959, a playground confrontation leaves two white youths bludgeoned to death by a gang of Puerto Rican kids. Sixteen-year-old Salvador Agron, who wore a red-lined satin cape, was charged with the murders, though no traces of blood were found on his dagger. At seventeen, Agron was the youngest person ever to be sentenced to death in the electric chair. After nearly two years in the Death House at Sing Sing Prison, a group of prominent citizens, including Eleanor Roosevelt and the governor of Puerto Rico, convinced Governor Rockefeller to commute Agron's sentence to one of life imprisonment.
