Losing someone who is a friend is really difficult. I know that everyone handles death differently. Anger, sadness, blame, and so many more. Though I understand the most just feeling nothing, you have so many emotions that it just gets to think point you can not get out of bed, you can't do anything but sleep.

Just trying to think if Johnny pushing away his mother was a good choice for him. Though I understand his pain. I may not of physically been in a bad spot but whenever mentally pushing away people is what happens so I can see how he feels with this. Though there is one worry, is he going to be okay after how he saved these kids. If he ends up not okay, this book will be ruined since Johnny in my opinion runs this.

Murder, something hard to hide from and something you can either regret or be glad. You never know the consequences of what you could get when this happens. Though if proven self defense, in the real world you're fine. In the hood, you have a new thing coming for you. You now have a title of target. You have a target on your head.

Its not all about money now, when you have to act all tough and be the people who are scared of you. You gotta hide your feelings, you think you have to be fully quiet about your mental health and just hide behind a whole wall. This is one thing I hate about being taught of life, people think for you to be tough is for you to act like you are the baddest person. Thick skin and turn thin very easily.

Starting to read this book is making me realize fully of what some people have to go through. I have been to a place where this happens multiple times. Though you never think of what could go wrong if you make a wrong move. Could possibly even be lethal in a certain way. You can not just go walking around alone, you have to be noticing of everything. One wrong move and your one life can be gone just like that.
