In this project we partnered up, read a book of our choice, then created a rap battle with other groups to try and prove that the book we read was to be taught in schools.
I read the book Dracula by Bram Stoker along with Maiya Jasso. Manny Rivas read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Tiago read Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. In the video I represented Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, Maiya represented Mina Harker from Dracula, Manny represented Dr. John Seward also from Dracula, and Tiago represented George from Of Mice and Men. |
I'm Katniss Everdeen, yeah that’s my name
Volunteered as tribute for the Hunger Games Capitol threw me in the arena Had to survive, I fought like John Cena This book is great, people often praise it While your book is old and even racist It’s not about race, it’s all in your head Keep on lying you’ gonna’ end up dead The name’s George Milton from Of Mice and Men A book ‘bout loneliness, friendship, and kin Lennie and I dream of having a farm “An live off the fatta the lan” no harm John Steinbeck created a masterpiece Dracula is all about the deceased Of Mice and Men’s worse than mediocre The masterpiece? Dracula by Stoker Our poor Lucy got killed, turned to “Un-Dead” Wooden stake through her heart, chopped off her head We vowed to avenge our beautiful friend Set out for answers, we’ll fight to the end Stoker created a famous vampire While you’re just a wanna be “girl on fire” |
That’s right I am because I spit hot beats,
My book leaves readers hanging on their seats The Hunger Games has an addictive plot Using my bow to kill with arrow shots I have my bow, arrows, so i’m all armed You just started working on a small farm Farming is life, at least I'm in the zone Your only motivation is running in the dome The words of my book, will prolly’ offend A strong message, that’s what Steinbeck intends Your book’s a tale about a vampire Mine’s about what people truly desire While you two chased your American Dream I chased Dracula along with my team I’m Dr. John Seward learned from Van Helsing Spittin' mad bars, like Renfield’s reasoning Dracula travelled from Transylvania Straight to London on a biting mania The writing is smart and very descriptive Each chapter is a different perspective You could say what you did was a good deed Instead of murder, could've helped him go free You shot your best friend, what kind of guy does that and you with your rhymes, just stick to combat Your books are fine but mine will last forever Don’t try to talk more, mine’s clearly better |
