The Basketball Diaries by Jim Carroll

The movie "Basketball Diary" is based on a series of diary entries Jim Carroll wrote about early. This will be published later as a novel. Carol grew up in the slums town of New York City and was exposed to many drug abuse incidents Because his life was full of pressure, for example, he lived in an unstable family without his father, lost his best friend, engaged in drug abuse doing. When he was in his teens Carol was doing his best to adapt himself to his colleagues.

Jim Carroll's Basketball Diary: Memoirs of the 1970s. I am recording the youth of Jim Carroll of a musician. His work depicts a vivid depiction of the use of heroin and a reduction in poisoning. His internal confusion seems to reflect the delusion and embarrassment of the 1960s, and it is creating a strong depiction of his growing years. "Basketball diary" exemplifies the worsening of the grace that can be caused by addiction, and the damage caused by the recurrence of the dependents' lives.

In a sense, Jim Carroll of "Basketball Diary" is very similar to Toby. Jim is a teenager living in New York with her mother. Jim's father took off when he was born. In "Basketball Diary", Jim wants others to treat him as a rebel and take narcotics and violence to maintain this appearance. Carol did not notice Jim's destructive behavior, like Toby's mother in "Boys' Life." Jim never hurt or kill anyone, but I often dream of fantasies. One of his most violent fantasies happened at his famous private school. In my dreams, Jim was late for class and his teacher punished him. I got angry about this, Jim took a pistol from the pocket of the jacket and shot the teacher in the stomach. Other students ran around the classroom with a shock. It gave him the power so Jim started shooting them as well
