An awkward part of the story is when Jordan corrects his Washington Heights friends grammar and they don't understand. When Jordan is playing basketball with some friends one of then says "come on, we're playing terrible". The text says "Actually your playing terriBLY"(162). "I meant the word is terribly, its an adverb so it modifies the.."(163). This shows that R.A.D is changing Jordan into a "Private School kid"

One feel good part in the story was when everyone is getting there year books. At the end of the year on the last day of school Jordan sees that his painting is on the cover of every year book. The text says, "The yearboo- wait, is that my painting"(233). This shows that even though Jordan had a rough start to his middle school days, his story ended with a happy ending.

A funny part in the story is when Jordan's parents tell Alexandria's parents how much he likes her. When R.A.D has a parents night, Jordan's parents tell Alexandria's parents that he likes to be around her, mistaking her with his other friend Alex. He then freaks out at school in front of her. The text says, "Wait no, they said they talked to Alex's parents"(99). This shows that Jordan doesn't want to be her friend.

A disappointing part in the book is when a teacher at RAD mistakes Mr. Gardner with Coach Rick. When Mr. Gardner checks up on how Jordan is being treated another teacher walks by and mistakes him for the coach since the are both black. The teacher says "Good Luck coach Rick, hope we go undefeated"(61). This proves that even some adults in the book don't even care to know their colleagues just because they are black.
