Joy is a character Blade meets around page 200 later in the book, Joy is a resident in Ghana in Africa. She is a girl Blade meets on his quest to find his real mother (after he found out he was adopted) and found out his mother lives and serves in Ghana. But when Blade meets Joy, they slowly fall in love. Joy is very sweet and nice to Blade and Blade (after figuring out Chapel cheated on him) falls in love with Joy. Unfortunately, Joy wants to stay in Ghana to serve the young children and Blade wants to go out and find his mother on the mountains of Ghana. Joy is overall a sweet girl that Blade can trust and might be Blades girlfriend in the future.

“Would it matter if I were gone? Who should care about this son of no one?” I pulled this quote out of the book because Blades life is pretty hectic, no only now finding out he’s adopted, he has a father who says he not in the family harshly. Also he has a girlfriend who loves him so much, but has a strict Dad that hates Blade and splits them up forever. And Blade is still embarrassed from his “father” for hurting his life in general so much every day. And I feel that since Blade has a tough life the story will continue to relate to this. I think that Blades thinking of possibly vomiting suicide will play a big part on his future as a well known person.

Blade is the main character in the story Solo, and the reason I wanted to wait to review his character for so long is because he is a very changing character. At first he was all about love and affection with his girlfriend, Chapel, and now later in the story he is filled up with anger about his father totally crashing his graduation party. Blade is one of those people who have different mood swings and can change how they feel about their life in a second.

The conflict within this story includes the two characters Blade (The Main Character) and his Dad, Rutherford. Rutherford is Blades rich, rockstar dad that is, well not so sober. But since Blade was Graduating from high school he promised to stay sober for 9 days till Blades graduation. But when it came to the day that Blade graduated, he did not see his Dad in the crowd. And right when Blade was going to say his speech about his class and to the whole world (he was going to sing a song), they started cheering, but not for Blade. It was his Dad crashing his car into the graduation. With his “Drunk Breath” breathing on Blade. Ruining and embarrassing Blade. And Blade just hating his Father more.

Chapel is Blades Girlfriend in the begging of the story. And Blade loves her very much getting lost in her eyes. But she never wants to get married. But Blade never understands why. She says they should let them live life together and not be known by some title. Chapel seems to be a very complicated but nice, live by the minute type of person. Lives in the moment and not in the future.

Blades Dad is a very well known musician and is known by millions. And at one after party the dad and his band was smoking and drinking around Blade (the main character) when he was ten. Blade loving the attention letting them smoke in his face and pour whiskey in his mouth. (Again, blade was only like 10 at this time). Later Blade passed out and woke up in a new setting, a hospital. With hisDad crying beside him, in handcuffs for child endangerment.
