The Bronx Masquerade

Alhaji


The character that am related to is called Raul and people think he is bandito . But he is a great artist. We have learned about 12 characters so far. What i like about that characters have incredible skills. I am a artist because it was all i could do when i came to this country.I hate the book because I am not in it.

We are different because he is Spanish and is from Mexico and people thing he is a bandito
He is like me because he try to help some girl with art. I don't like when people call him bandito.

There once was a bunny named buggy,

aka Michael sunny,

Not scary,

But doesn't really like doggy.

The Boy

There once was a boy named Alhaji,
Who come from quite a large family,
He's the oldest of five,
One of the coolest kids alive,
And he also spells quite remarkable.

Jelly
Retold by: Alhaji
There once was a hamster named Nelly,
His whisker was sticky and smelly,
This was not if you please,
Some strong new disease,
But an extraordinary liking for jelly!
