connection

__**week 1**__ I feel that this book has connection because both books explain that someone or something can change your life on what you want to do or how yo see something. In "Dreams from my father" Barack life change after hearing stories about his father, trying to always make him proud even after he was gone. In "The Pursuit of Happyness" Chris life change cause he wanted better for his son. he didnt want his son to grow up with the same struggle as his father. this also has a connection to eachother because both of them are black. and at the time that they were trying to do what they had to do, it was much harder for them because of the color of their skin. people often look at them as you cant do this rather then you can. and both never gave up, they still kept believeing inwhat they had to do and did it.

__**week 2**__

there was part in chapter 7 where barack was at work, and this family memeber to visit him, becasue he hasnt seen her in a while. He notcied that every time they both would make the plans to actually see on another it never really happened becasue something always came up. So his aunt had a call that someone passed away so she could not come and visit him. I really didnt want to use a movie nor a book, i actually decided that i want to say one connenction would be everyone. Meaning in some time in everyones life there are things you always want to do, but something always tends to happen which makes it impossiable to actually do what you wanted to, Such as visit a family member, take your son or daughter somewhere and you end up being sick or you have work that day and u just cant. You could also connect it to the one above me the purist of happiness becasue the father always wanted to get everything for his son, he wanted to make his son feel that so matter what i can always make you happy, knowing the fact he couldnt afford most things. So basially there are times where you just cant always do something that you want to do becasue in life things always happen.

This book has kind of reminded me of the Harry Potter series in the case of finding your identity. Like Obama, Harry never really knew his mother since she had died when he was only a baby. She was well known and liked, as so was Barack Obama's father was also, so Harry has heard many stories describing his mother from other people. Obama, like Harry, only knows his mother through other peoples views and descriptions.
