The short and tragic life of Robert peace. Wow, this is an extremely emotional and important book that spreads awareness and will give you more questions at the end than you had at the beginning.

And Robert got especially a lot of pressure because of his background and area he came from. So when he came home from Yale and did not get a really good job, people were just shaking their heads. I mean he got a decent job as a teacher at his old school, but he didn’t have that job for a long time, he was on and off at different jobs all the time. Since he was so smart, people assumed he had it figured out, but the reality is that he did also need someone to tell him whats up, wahst going on. But you can be smart with books and academics, but not smart about life. But the did find many business ideas Robert had, so he was figuring it all out.
I think a very interesting part is who wrote this book. The wirter is Roberts roommate at Yale univeristy. He and Robert were roommates for four years, witch was the time when they went to yale together. Thoughtout the middle of the book, we get a lot of detailed and close information because they spkoe really directly ans personall to each other, because they were living togerther for four years.
