One of the biggest criticisms of Nic Stone’s novel is how smoothly everything goes for Jus. He makes it out of the hood, goes to a prep school, and, as we just found out in chapter 6, gets accepted into Yale. Critics argue that it’s an unrealistic portrayal of how life would likely go for a young, black kid like Justyce in real life. Write an essay response (at least three paragraphs) to those critics and take a stance. Is this a valid argument or not? Consider real life examples and the novel when thinking of support for your argument.

honestly, school in itself just seems to be a huge waste of time. a lot of people graduate but still end up not doing anything in college anyways, which really makes the whole point of graduating seem useless. i'd rather not bring anyone's hopes up then. what i'd recommend is for whoever's reading this to simply drop out.

i mean, kanye did it. he said something along the lines of, "don't let society tell you what to do." now, he's obviously a very successful person, and since his album is called the college dropout i guess he never really had to go through all that nonsense in order to become a millionaire. the same goes for anyone else then.
