-Trevor's family moved to a poor-conditioned house at Highlands Park which was a largely Jewish, entirely white neighborhood. Trevor was never invited to join the white children's groups. Some families allowed their domestic workers to live with them in the servants’ quarters, so Trevor was able to be friends with many of these children in his neighborhood. Trevor and his friend Teddy regularly got into trouble together. One day, the two boys were caught stealing from a store and were chased by police. Trevor was able to escape, but he lost track of Teddy during the chase. Trevor looked for Teddy at Teddy’s house but he was not there. On Monday, Teddy didn’t show up to school. That afternoon, Teddy’s parents came to Trevor’s house to tell Patricia that Teddy had been arrested for stealing. Teddy said he was alone, but Patricia thought that Trevor was also involved. The next day, Trevor was called into the principal’s office to identify the other boy caught on the low-quality black-and-white security camera with Teddy. And Trevor's apperance looked like a white boy. The principal believed that Trevor, being Teddy’s best friend, would know which of their white classmates was with Teddy, but Trevor gave no name.

Write a blog post about your own life that matches the theme covered in the chapter you chose. [5 - ∞ sentences]

-More than any of the other stories in this chapter, the spirit of self-sacrifice, like Teddy's friendship, was more in my mind. When I was in 5th grade, I had a friend named Sang-hyeok. The reason we became close was unusual. Sanghyuk was the class leader in the first semester. At that time, me and my friends broke the rule not to play ball in class and hit the teacher's computer mouse and dropped it while playing ball. Sang-hyeok said that he had dropped it  while cleaning the desk and he took all the blame by himself. In this way, we became close, and the next day, me and my friends bought Sang-hyeok lunch. I think friendship is the most important thing as a student.
