The boys start walking around trying to find somewhere to eat they stumble across a couple of crips and Lorenzo finds his brother is apart of the gang and then they are found by some bloods. The boys run away and this could be significant to the story because if Lorenzo's brother gets hurt the boys might turn to the life of a gang and start causing trouble.

The boys start to prepare themselves and imagine what life in high school might be like. They talk about what they most want to achieve and if they will still have each other. I wonder if the boys will end up having different classes and will have to navigate through that. I predict that Shawn will not have most classes with his friends but have classes with Marisol and if they might grow closer.

As the kids walk around looking around at everyone completing themselves and having something special about them. The boys wonder about what they want to do with there future. I predict the boys will end up going off this basis and do something to get them started and to try harder.

They learn from Andre's brother to live life to your best potential. He talks to the boys after they beat Bricker and to not waste it. This is significant because it sets Randy as a role model for the boys and even though you may fall down you need to get back out and go just as good and do it to the best of your abilities.

As the boys go to the park to play basketball after seeing Crazy Ray going wild and being took down and restrained they go to the park and find Andre's brother and Shawn and Andre show a lot of teamwork and I wonder if that might make them confident to try out for the basketball team. But I also wonder if something happens severely if him and his friends will get caught up in something and how it affects them.

Shawn is annoyed with his friends after they ruined his time talking to Marisol he felt apprehensive at the idea he would maybe have a chance with her. I noticed in the book the friends visit all of there homes except Shawn's and we see how Shawn maybe more secretive about his home life. And after seeing how he isn't confident in himself we see that Shawn might need to build more emotional strength.

When reading I noticed how Shawn mentioned he had so many thoughts. He went into full panic when he saw Marisol after just being in Andre's house and remembering what they heard. This is significant because it might show how the relationship between Marisol and him grow and how it might affect his friendships.

The main character Shawn ends up going out with his friends he enters Andre's house and thinks about his aunt and how he never has experienced what he has. I wonder if he will ever get to experience what Andre has and a not so scary time at his aunts. This is significant because it shows how he might act in his area because of this whether it means staying home or going out and causing trouble.

While reading I noticed how his mom is seeing more of his aunties drinking problem more of a disease and how she is forcing Shawn the main character to deal with that. And I wonder if one day she has gone over the limit and her liver fails and she passes away and if Shawn ends up finding her like that how would it affect his life. And as well this is significant to the story because it might affect him and his mom.
