Protagonist- A protagonist is the main chararacter that the

reader follows. Marucs and eddie and both the protaganist

of my book. "My name is Marcus Brown, but almost every-

body outside my family calls me "Black"." This is the author

introducing the protaganist and telling the reader that he

is the protaginist.

Antagonist-Opposing force that is against the protagonist.

The antagonist of this book is within the protagonist. The r-

eason being is that it was the protagonist's choice to rob

those people thus causing the conflict in the book. "We were

just going to pull enough stickups to get the money for dues.

Then we'd call it quits". This is the author introducing the

antagonist (which is inside the protagonist).

Setting-Place and time of the plot. ".....we played basketball

and football for Long Island City High School". This sets up

the place, and you can tell by the slang and the technology

that this takes place in modern times. "They wouldnt throw

it away for a lousy stickup".

courses and studies. "I told you you cant participate

This is an article refering to the shooting of Micheal Brown. The article talks about the facts of the shooting. The author also makes a mention about how people are only focused on the case because hes black. I think that this article relates to my book because Marcus and Eddie didnt make a big deal about their race. The author belives that thats how the world should be, not focusing on race at all.

Black and white is about 2 best friends. Eddie and Marcus, Eddie is white and Marcus is black. Eddie and Marcus are such good friends that they are given the name Black and White. Eddie and Marcus live on the rough side of Long Island, because of that their familys are not as well off as an average american family. Eddie and Marcus were put into a difficult situation. You see Eddie and Marcus are stars of the schools basketball team, so good that collage scouts were drooling over them. Over the course of their junior year they had accumulated enough money to pay their senior dues (money for field trips graduation etc). But that changed when Nike came out with the Marauders, the marauders came out in the colors of the school so everyone on the basketball team got one. Being the stars of the team like they were there's no way they could be caught without it. They brainstormed for awhile and eliminated working because they couldn't be caught in a McDonald's if they were to go pro. They found their solution when Eddie found his Granddads old gun up in the attic. They decided to rob people to pay their senior dues. They started off with a few easy scores but then the unexpected happened. The gun accidentally went off and hit one of their potential targets, they had no idea what to do so they just ran. Eventually it caught up with them. I think this is a great book for young adults because it exposes what crime can do to people and their family's. A few robberies can ruin your entire life, It also exposes what life in the projects is like vs life where you live it right now.
