      Synopsis

      Through the eyes of a child many negatives as well as positives are seen. The negatives often outweigh the positives. As a child, Johnny Bodley’s eyes saw and his lips tasted the dregs from life’s bitter cup many times. Through the peepholes of his eyes he saw the negatives daring him to stare at the positives, or even think that life could be good. This book contains some of the ABC’s he learned about while being a troubled youth growing up on the streets of segregated Selma, Alabama. It also shows his triumphant rise from street corner beggar and notorious thug child to a respectful man after being on an extremely dangerous journey. Many of the letters of this alphabet weren’t good for him but he had to endure; his life depended on some of them: Abuse/Bigotry, Corruption/Desertion, Evil/Exclusion, Fright/Good, Hate/Hunger/Happiness, Injustice/Justice, Kindness/Love, Murder/Need, Oppression/Poverty/Racism/Rejection, Sadness/Togetherness, Ugliness/Victory, and Waste.

      February 06, 2006: The first time I heard you was two years ago at Bankhead. I enjoyed your speech so much I went and bought your book. I read about half of it then the back caught my attention. I have read every comments page in the back of your book. I want to let you know that I always stay safe and your the main reason I have stayed safe. I always love to here you speak. When they told me you were coming this morning I was so happy since I didn't get to hear you last year. Your speech today was just as good as your fist that I heard. I am a football, basketball, and baseball player. I am a honor student and have just been chosen by the county to take the TORCH test on Biology. I have always wanted to write to you but this is the first time I remembered when I got online. I stay really busy. I also play the guitar at church and am very involved with our youth group. God bless, Logan Kendrick
