Devon is a talented basketball player, but he knows something more. Why do you think he has to sneak to the library and lie about the destination? Do you think we put people in categories? Why do you think this happens?
Here you will be able to post anything you think is relevant to the Bronx Masquerade. Make sure to explain why you think it relates to the novel. You can post videos, news articles, song lyrics, pictures, etc., but be sure to explain.

Welcome to the Bronx Masquerade Blog! Each week, I will post discussion questions about the novel. It is your job to answer the questions and express your own opinions about the subject.
My first question for you is about your initial reactions to the novel. What do you think?! Do you like it? Not like it? Have you read anything like it before?
My name is Ms. Constantine. I am very excited to be here at H.W. Smith, and even more excited to begin reading Bronx Masquerade and learning more about you. While reading the novel, we will be exploring issues of identity and stereotyping in our own world. At the end of the novel, we will work to publish our own H.W. Smith Masquerade! This blog will be an area for in depth discussion and poetry and narrative publication. Feel free to post at anytime.
