One thing I like about this book is that you see Black (Marcus) and White (Eddie) perspectives and feelings. Like how Black has given up trying to fight the case but White is mad at him because he feels it's like giving up.
I think this book is about consequences because during the conflict Black and White are robbing a guy and then the gun goes off, almost killing the guy they were robbing. Then for the rest of the story, they are both trying to hide from the cops and not go to jail. However, when they got caught Black couldn’t play basketball then he could not attend college and his future of playing basketball in the NBA is ruined because of his actions.
I recommend this novel,” Black And White”, because of the characterization and how they show both Black and White viewpoints during high school and the conflict like how White heart was pounding trying to hide the gun and that Black was in court trying to fight the case.. But if you're not paying attention you could forget whose viewpoint you're on. Also, this novel shows Black and White's feelings like how Black was a little mad at White because he was going to jail but White wasn't. So if you like to see multiple perspectives and feelings this book might be for you.… (més)
