5/8/2017 0 Comments Checkpoint 1 So far, I think the book Black and White is very interesting and it really puts you in the perspective of both Eddie and Marcus. I really like how every other chapter it's coming from Eddie, then Marcus and they use black for Marcus and white for Eddie, because those are their nicknames. It's very realistic, because all of it seems like something that can happen in real life if you try to rob someone with a gun because you will get caught and you will have to deal with the consequences and the book does a good job of showing that.
Eddie, who they call white, lives with his mom and his dad but his dad is often gone working. His best friend is Marcus, who they call black. Marcus has a little sister and he lives with his mom and his sister because his dad left them when he was little. Both families didn't have a lot of money and so they both decided to rob people and they soon realized that'd be a big mistake. The book always leaves me wondering so many questions after i'm done reading my checkpoint, such as if Eddie would get caught as Marcus' partner? Will Marcus ever get bail? What is going to happen to both of their basketball careers? This book is filled with constant action and there is never a boring time. It makes you understand how different these two people are but just how close they are too. I think the book Black and White is a great book about friendship and consequences.
