So far this book is very confusing and entertaining it has lots of plot twists I am on page 27 and I am predicting that Finley will have to take in Russel Allen after his parents were murdered. And maybe because Russel Allen is going to go back home for his parents than maybe Finley will have to take his place

your identity can change in different socal envirments I disagree with this statement because I've been brought up in a some what bad envirment but that doesn't change who I am. and in the book boy 21 the kid is in a neighborhood where there are bad people in it but he doesn't let that bring his down or change him he is still his own man

Someone's Identity can change in a different social environment because Boy 21 "Russell" has gained a national reputation,he's one of the top recruits in their country. But ever since his parents were murdered he's changed now. Russell is now obsessed with Outer space and goes by the name Boy 21. Russell like a whole new different person.

I disagree with this because in the book it is explained that he lives in a town that is filled with bad people around but he doesn't let that stop him or bother him. He still trains every day and is having a normal day even if he lives in a bad environment he still carries on with his normal routine and being himself.

One way Finley changed in a different social environment is Finley changes when he interacts with Russel (Boy 21) and their relationship deepens. Around Russ, who defies the norms of their tough neighborhood, Finley starts to question his quiet, go with the flow persona. This new friendship helps Finley discover a more compassionate and brave side of himself, especially as he supports Russ through his trauma.

Boy 21

So far this book is very weird boy 21 (Russel) is obsessed with space and is so childish. And I never expected that Finley was going to have to mentor him and help him out with his parents death. But when he met boy 21 he did not expect to see him act like a child. I'm predicting that Finley is eventually gonna get along with boy 21 and he will be back to how he was before. And also I think there is a deeper meaning with boy 21 obsession with space.

Russel changed his name to Boy21 because both his parents were murdered. Ever since he went by Boy21 he changed completely he thinks he's from outer space. He doesn't talk normally anymore he calls people he doesn't know "earthlings". This helps provide that Russel changed because of different social environments which is that his parents were murdered.

this book is pretty strange boy 21 is so into space and I don't know why and he acts like a kid so Finley has to watch over his which I kinda figured because how childish he is I think that when Finley found out he had to watch over his he wasnt gonna be that bad but he was surprised how much of a kid he acted I think that finley is gonna find a way to get used to him and become better friends with boy 21 and Im pretty sure his obsession with space has a deep meaning but I gotta read more to find out if that's true or not

This book is interesting to me because there's many things going on. With Boy21 and Finley. They both have sorta connections to each other but what I find weird is that Boy 21 acts like he's from outer space bit the thing I don't understand why does he think he's from outer space out of everything? I get it his parents got murdered but why change to be outer space. That's what's confusing me overall its turning to a good book. I like how Finley doesn't make fun of him or anything like he has a connection with him but also sometimes thinks his weird. BUt Finley takes orders that's another good thing about him.

So far I've read up to page 72. Finely has been helping Boy 21 known as Russell in school and out of school. They always hang out. Boy 21 always comes out of nowhere when he wants to see Finely which is a bit weird. Finely wants to help Russell but each tie Russell tells Finely something finely never says anything other than listening to what Russell says.So Far I think Finely and Russell are going to get along a lot better.
