Make sure the wine cellar refuses to arrest every mistake of the impact of Rashard is tough, police threw more resistance and refused to keep obeying orders. But how can you quiesce when someone hits your face on a concrete road?

Witnesses: Quin Collins, a college basketball player and classmate of Rashad, has been brought up by Paul since his father died in Afghanistan - and a video camera. Immediately there was a strike in the news, and Paul is threatened with prejudice and racial atrocities. Quinn basically refused to believe that a man who was his savior might be guilty. But Lashad was absent. And also absent. Then again. The basketball team - half of La Chaire's best friend - started standing on one side. It is the same as school. And town. The tension brewery may erupt because Lashad and Quinn are forced to face decisions and results they have never thought so far

A four-star jury concert written in a series by two award-winning authors shares the alternate view of Razhard and Quinn directly from today's headline as a complex moment of one violent moment Did. And reflects the unpopular truth

Throughout the novel, readers can gain a deep understanding of the experiences of Rushad and Quinn from events of boys in the United States. It will play a role of secondary role in all American boys and draft a diary detailing your experience and witnesses. Prepare to create an outline with 5 W's (who, what, when, where, and why). Do not forget to write to the first person and pay special attention to the sensual image (you see, smell, listen, etc.) 1. Spoony told her when he tried to convince his mother why he needed to protest La Chaar's crime, "but what we want is that we can not sue, who we are, In your opinion, why is this the basic right for all people?

Even with the title "All American Boys", the phrase "all-American" is emphasized, and characters in the whole novel will overcome the problem of maintaining the true meaning of American values ​​such as loyalty and justice I am doing. At the beginning of the novel, "nation" seems to be narrowly defined by race and appearance, but by the end of the book the phrase and content it represents has a deeper meaning. In the opening ceremony of the novel, La Chaire just attended the exercise of a patriotic ROTC drilling team, but he was called "assassin" because he was wearing black and loose trousers (23 ). As Rashar's brother pointed out, "ROTC's uniform is in its bag, because the bag is open, the police can see it, but is this a problem?" (53) . In the second half of the book, when Rashard received a copy of his team leader's ROTC creed, he raised questions further to the "national" ideal of ROTC who disappointed him.

Kiely, Brendan All American Boys Brendan Kiely and Jason Reynolds' book All American Boys tells about police brutality and the justice system of the United States. Two young boys who went to the same school met in an unexpected way. The boy La Chaire was accused of shoplifting and beating a woman with a corner. Then he was beaten by a local police officer. Another boy named Quinn witnessed this savage act and foresaw that he did not see it. Quinn faced many moral dilemmas when trying to decide how to deal with what he saw. I suggested to students how to start a protest action to commemorate the atrocities against Rashar's police. I like this book because it involves stimulation, movement and drama. It also touches on real problems such as police brutality. This book is an inspiring book that allows you to stand at the edge of your seat and make you think twice about our judicial system. - Thomas Corbett, grade 2021
