In my book I think Jayson is a dynamic character because even though his mom left him for good, the book makes him over go through those hardships which makes him do what he does. When Jayson's mom leaves him, he tries to not get caught by the CPS, and as he grows up, he develops and becomes who he is, making the story liked, and he grows up to have friends and a sport he likes.

I think my book's conflict is Man vs Society because In the book it tells about how Jaysons mother leaves for good and tell's Jayson to not get caught by child protective services and to survive. In pg 12 it said "Jayson I wont be back, try to survive but don't get caught by child protective services" he shows it is man vs Society by stealing thing's in order to survive but not get caught by Child protective services

My predictions for the main character Jayson Barnes is that he will be found by child protective services because he was trying to survive but has done lots of risky things. He will be placed into a a new family, and will may be get kicked out. One of the reasons I think of this is because of the back, on the back it says how he may get found. In chapter 1, his mother passes away, leading him to fend for him self.

The point of view of the book "fast break" is told by a 3rd person omniscient. This is because the narrator know's what the character's are feeling, the narrator also know's what they are thinking in all the character's head's. ex: "coach Ronny was really disappointed at Jayson, but Jayson didn't notice" on page 47. Showing that the narrator know's what the character's are thinking. This is the point of view.
