My Project

It follows two teenage friends, Dylan Ebdus and Mingus Rude, one white and one black, who discover a magic ring. The novel explores the issues of race and culture, gentrification, self-discovery, and music. The novel's title is a reference to the Fortress of Solitude, a fortress constructed for Superman.

The fortress functions as a place of solace/occasional headquarters for the two friends.

The book will help my students that are Trauma Based Behavior Special Education students to understand friendship/ bullying. Our students come from a diverse background to include several different ethnic cultures. Each of their cultures have unique characteristics of cultural identity.

The purpose of reading and introducing this text is to open their minds on equality, to help them define what true bullying is, and to enlighten them to the understanding of true racial/ethnic/cultural equality.
