I know the streets throwing out someone’s weed, money, and their gun would’ve gotten Amina touched, but because that’s her song he held his composure. Amina was not right for throwing out his things if she was already kicking him out.

Malo has a vision that selling would get him money for his mom and brother not for fun. Uzi was in the streets for fun and the thrill.

The fact that Malo thinks he has to sell dope, and risk his freedom because he knows his dad wouldn’t help the family is crazy. The only reason young men in general sell dope or get illegal money is because there moms are single mothers.

So she worries cause there at the age where she can tell them not to do something/wish for the best but they would still end up doing it because Uzi is selfish and Malo thinks he’s helping and he follows his older brother.

My thing is why the first thing always selling dope? Why do young men think that’s the best way instead of getting a job. This chapter reminds me of my uncle and his mindset to help the family, but it always lead to problems.

When someone shows they care, why put any energy or effort into their life? Why try and force something that’s not the same? You can tell that Malo peeped how people would treat him and his mom like they never existed, but expected a hi. Like I can totally relate to this chapter because people can judge you, talk crap, switch on you, but you still going to move on with life and forget them.

Most teachers will judge you and not even know your story. Like why the teacher trying to embarrass Malo in front of everyone? Well I know why because she have a different perspective on how young men should carry themselves, not knowing that when you come from a ruff area/ community you express yourself in ways people would think is negative.
