Status Updates From Bronxwood (Tyrell, #2)

There are kids who actually have to live like this.....🙃

SUPPORTING CHARACTERS: Cal is a minor character in my book, Tyrell who helps Tyrell get off the streets. The reason this author included Cal was to guide Tyrell in the right path to help his family. Cal helps Tyrell by advertising Tyrells party's by selling drugs. By doing this Tyrells party's become more popular. Clearly, Cal is a good influence to Tyrell because he helped him off the streets.

ARCHETYPE: My book Is a rags to riches story. In my book, Bronxwood. Tyrell starts off with a mother and father in a great situation. Eventually, Tyrells father gets locked up in jail. Tyrell then feels lost and has no help what so ever. But, Tyrell stays strong knowing that his little brother is counting on him. Eventually Tyrell makes enough money to afford an apartment for his family to get out of their slump.

VISUALIZE: When Tyrells family went to visit Troy, it was Troys first time in a long time seeing his father. On page 134 it says, " When Troy and his foster mother, Ms. Woods, get there, man, the look on Troy face when he see my pops, that shit is for real. " The author chose to make this scene so special because Troy has not seen his own father for a long time.

MAKING CONNECTIONS: In my book, I made a connection with moving furniture. On (pg98) it says, " My mom was sitting on the counter, looking bored. " I can relate to this because whenever my aunt has me help her move furniture, I get very bored. But I think to myself that im getting food after and it makes it all better.

CHARACTERIZATION: Tyrell is a character in my book and he never gives up. I know this because he is always facing challenges, but he surpasses them. For example, on pg 61 it says, " Damn, I lost my girl. I thought she was the one." Later on pg 72 Tyrell says, " Keisha is perfect for me, I don't see why I would ever want Jasmine back. This is a perfect example of Tyrell overcoming obstacles that are thrown at him.

ANTAGONIST: The Antagonist of my book is Tyrell. Tyrell constantly overthinks about his problems and throws himself off track. Tyrell wants to get himself his own place to stay at with his family, but he keeps putting himself offtrack to achieve that. For example, Tyrell is always worrying about his brother that is in foster care. Sometimes he will even stop in the middle of planning a party to call him.
