Shawn’s brother was killed on the basketball court.

The neighborhood is used to the shootings happening

The father is not mentioned so he is most likely out of the picture.

Shawn might have been killed just because of the color of his skin which is absolutely terrible.

# data[].attributes.body
Shawn was shot and killed

# data[].attributes.body
Called William by his parents and brother but Will to everyone else.

# data[].attributes.body
Shawn’s death will slowly take a bigger toll on Will throughout the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Shootings happen often and people get used to not knowing anything or telling police anything.

# data[].attributes.body
It must be a rough neighborhood because everyone knew what to do when there were shots

Will mentions only his mother and brother. He doesn’t mention his father.

Seems like there are lots of shootings in this town or city.

I each of  the poems has different structure because each poem has a different mood and needs to be read based on the mood

# data[].attributes.body
After Shawn’s death, their mom will fall apart (develop alcoholism) and Will will have to fend for himself.

# data[].attributes.body
His name is William, but his friends call him Will.

# data[].attributes.body
Will lives in a rough neighborhood because these gunshots seemed normal to him and he seemed as if he had past experiences with this.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that maybe the family is really close with each other because maybe they had a past where they all had to work with each other to get through a tragic event where the father might have died in. I think this because of how they reacted to Shawn like he means the world to them.

# data[].attributes.body
Why was Shawn shot? Could he have done something bad or have told someone something.

# data[].attributes.body
Usually shootings in the area are worse, I think this because in the text it says the only one person died this time.

# data[].attributes.headline
His name is will and his brother Shawn was killed.

# data[].attributes.subject
His name is will and his brother Shawn was killed.

This neighborhood is not very safe.

# data[].attributes.body
Williams brother was shot and killed.

I can compare this to the show All American because when a shooting happens everyone in the neighborhood has a routine and is not surprised very much like this book.

# data[].attributes.body
Shawn was shot because of something related to race

# data[].attributes.body
Shawn was killed, from being shot

# data[].attributes.body
Shawn might live in a neighborhood where gun shots are fired constantly and now they don’t even hear sirens anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
No one wants to be accused of anything which is why no one says anything to police...police might be prejudice.

# data[].attributes.body
William seems kind of closed off and hurt.

# data[].attributes.headline
I think that this story will take place in a very bad neighborhood because it's not very likely for someone to be shot in the wealthy and a neighborhood that is doing well economically and socially.C

# data[].attributes.body
Shawn was killed at a basketball court.

# data[].attributes.body
These poems seem similar to the book “The Hate You Give,” and I think that Shawn was innocent and he didn’t deserve to be shot.

# data[].attributes.body
It is hard for Will to talk about what happened to Shawn because he loved him and misses him a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
None of Shawn’s close family and friends wanted to accept his death.

# data[].attributes.body
The people in the neighborhood are trained in what to do when someone is killed: Screaming, Sirens, Questions.

# data[].attributes.body
The neighborhood must not be safe and it must be normal for these events to happen for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Will might have known that a close friend or family member was going to get shot one day because it was common in his neighborhood. I/C

# data[].attributes.body
Will talks about a tooth missing so something important is missing and he talks about these rules, which could mean he himself is going to follow these rules or more likely, he might break them since his brother died and he wants justice or revenge.

# data[].attributes.body
I think there’s something going on between his mother and him because he says his friends and family call him Will, but his mom calls him William.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that the main character didn’t only know what to do with him self when the shooting was happening but also knew what would happen after like with his brother’s girlfriend and mom. Maybe he was expecting it in someway. L

# data[].attributes.body
I think when the main character said he couldn’t say his brothers name and dead together they were all separated to symbolize this. I

# data[].attributes.body
I think the shooting may have been a drive-by or quick  shooting because In past books when the shooters seem to leave very fast it is usually a drive-by shooting.C
