i didn’t really enjoy the book because it seemed all over the place and sporadic, but after reviewing the story and his character during class i felt more interested in the story. i didn’t really feel bad for the character becuase it seemed as though he was whining the whole time,until he tried hard enough to get what he really wanted and deserved. He went through a lot of obstacles with his race, & his family & his friends, & his life, but at the end of the book he finally regains the real & true him & he gets to live the way he deserves to live.
I felt as though the importance of the novel was to not give up & don’t ever, let anyone make you feel like you dont deserve what you want. His family & friends seem to pull him away from what he needed to reach, & when he went back on the right track, he found himself.
