5 COMMENtS

• This book is like a motif.
• In these few chapters I have read, Nathan learns all about working and how it is that working for the white people really is.
• When Nathan sees his buddys Bimbo and Tony shot, he thought about how dangerous it is being in the streets, and that one day he could be dead. But yet this doesnt stop him from living life like he does.
• Nathan and his buddys would never stop the violence with the other gangs because it always goes back and forth.
• This book shows how violence doesnt resolve anything.
