Miles Mathews’s Reviews > Promise Boys > Status Update

I need 7 reading times to finish my book, and I have 8 left. I will not need to read outside of class.

Theme: corruption- The school that the main characters attend promises high is run like a military school. There is corruption between the staff and students, and this has given the murder more layers to uncover.

The conflict in my book is person versus society. I say that this is the conflict because the story shows the struggle of the three main characters after being accused of murder.

The conflict in this story is mainly person vs society. I say this is the conflict because the basis of the story is three different kids handling life after being suspects of a murder.

Ramon - He lives with his abuela; he has a cousin who leads a gang, and he is currently being investigated for murder.

I think my favorite character so far is Ramon. He id my favorite character because I like how he acts, and I think that his character can go many different ways.

I think that the danger that comes from banning books is that people can act out dangerously especially when it comes to religious books like the bible for example. I think that topics like religion get dangerous when limiting people's access to them.

Protagonist: J.B.
