GAME by Walter Dean Myers 1-30

Summary:
The story had started off with the family hear news about two teenage boys, that had attempted robbery, which had caused one of them to died, and the other to get seriously injuried. Both teenagers should have been in the school which was said on the news. The clerk in the store had suffer diedly wounds, but survived. There mother is worried as her children are getting older that her children might get into that mess. So that is why she tell them to do activites after school. Drew is 6'5 and plays basketball for his school James Bladwin Academy, he plays the guard position, is the star of the team. He is in his senior trying to get recrutied by Divsion 1 schools. His coach this year decided to go with a whole different system because he thinks it will work better for the team.

Quote:
"Every time you pick up a newspaper, every time you switch on the television, its more of our young men either going to jail".

Reactionary:
Based on what the quote had explained, it was sad to read, because where I live in boston some of tht exactly happens, so i can relate what happens close to were I live, to where drew and his family lives in New York. I think it really bring down the communtiy when many of the kids die or go to jail because they dont show good examples to the young kids. Those types of things that happen are very unfortunate, but you dont have to go down that path if you dint want to.
