In the book Rashad faces powerlessness and violence. Mostly because, Paul is a cop and has a lot of authority over a regular civilian. So Paul could beat him up and not get in trouble and Rashad has no power so that is violence and powerlessness. 
Quote: "If you're on the neutrual side, you have chosen the side of the opporessor."
2. The oppressor is Paul Galluzzo the Police Officer and the oppressed is the civilian of color, Rashad. The oppression looks like when Paul is beating him up because he looks like he is stealing and the color of his skin and the way he wears his clothes matter. 
3. It relates to the real world because every week in the USA 2 people of black color die a week. This is a serious issue and happens a lot and police officers usually get off scot-free and in no trouble. ]]> 2016-11-15 13:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/spotter9/pbfa6ojhw0j/wish/137699643 All American boys, uuddin https://padlet.com/spotter9/pbfa6ojhw0j/wish/137699710 1.

Rashad gets beaten up by officer Galluzzo and he can't defend himself because he is handcuffed and the police officer obviously has the authority over him.When rashad is on the ground the officer is using excessive force against rashad.
2.  In my novel oppresion looks like when the officer is using his authority to use excessive force against a helpless teen. The oppressor is officer Galuzzo and the oppresed Rashad.
3.  Officers abuse their power sometimes which they do in the book and in real life and possibly target some people more than others.

For example  when Quinn  fights with Guzzo. Quote page 223 "Get out of here. I know whose side you're on."

2In my novel oppression looks like police beating up people. Paul Galluzzo is the oppressor and Rashad is the oppressed.
3The oppression in my novel relates to the oppression in the world.

   1. I think on the book oppression is that a young African American teen boy who participates in ROTC and has a family named  Rashed who gets beaten by This  police  and Rashed  was defenseless and could not fight the police guy and gets abused by the police 

2. I think the oppressor is the police officer and his name is Paul Galluzzo who is keeping down the teenage wrongly and the teenage boys can't defend or fight back because there are cops 

3. I think that the police officers are damaging their capacity sometimes which they do in the book and in real life and any chance target some people and others.

there are heavy influences of violence and police brutality in this book. the character rashad gets accused of stealing and gets beaten half to death. beyond that he was accused of resisting arrest by the police department. pg. 44 the police officer explained to my folks that i had been caught stealing. not only that but i had also been charged with resisting arrest in a public nuisance. ]]> 2016-11-17 17:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/spotter9/pbfa6ojhw0j/wish/138490724 https://padlet.com/spotter9/pbfa6ojhw0j/wish/1517806897 2021-05-12 15:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/spotter9/pbfa6ojhw0j/wish/1517806897
