145th Street
Walter Dean Myers
 
145th Street is a collection of stories about one
block in Harlem in New York City. The stories describe a range
of characters and situations.
Start thinking:
What do the people in these stories
have in common, besides the block? Describe the various kinds
of families. What are the most important characteristics necessary
to have a good life on 145th Street?
Which stories will you remember most clearly, and why?
Choose four characters and predict where they will be a year
from now. What will life on the block, the neighborhood, be like
then?
How are the characters affected by the fact that they live on
this block?
