Narrative Concering Books Flamboyant

When Chana Landau Begins To Teach at Manhattan's Harvey Milk High School, she leaves the protection of her familiar, safe world -- a traditional Orthodox Jewish enclave in Brooklyn -- for a school that embodies everything she has been forbidden to experience. In a hostile classroom filled with sexually "different" teens, street kids, and drug addicts, Chana's one support is Flamboyant. Flamboyant is a fifteen-year-old prostitute, who claims to be half-Jewish and is an accomplished writer. When appearances prove to be deceptive, the inexperienced teacher must confront a profound crisis in her faith in God and the principles of her religion.With insight, warmth, and humor, Elizabeth Swados creates a unique and memorable friendship between two very different people bound together by their common characteristics of the heart.

Crit Appertaining To Books Flamboyant

All the books I had on my list were currently checked out at the library so I picked up this one. Glad I did! I like the way the author switched back and forth between the teacher and the student's point of view. She did an excellent job of giving each character voice. I think this would be a great book club book. Topics that could be discussed include religion, education, sexuality, and making difficult unpopular choices. Overall a good read.

Not a book that I would normally choose but it only cost $1. I liked how the author went back and forth from the teacher's point of view and the student's point of view.

A random book I found on my school's bookshelf as I was hunting for books for a paper. It was enjoyable in a way I found surprising. Quirky. People and places brought together in surprising ways.

Elizabeth Swados (February 5, 1951 January 5, 2016) was an American writer, composer, musician and theatre director. While some of her subject matter is humorous, such as her satirical look at Ronald Reagan (Rap Master Ronnie) and Doonesbury both collaborations with Garry Trudeau much of her work deals with darker issues such as racism, murder and mental illness.Born February 5, 1951 inAll the books I had on my list were currently checked out at the library so I picked up this one.

This book has its moments. I still liked the read through and the characters.
