I just finished my book and in the last section Kevin didnt come to work for a couple of days and Jimmy was wondering why. Kevin came to work the next day and Jimmy asked him what was goin on and he said that he failed his drug test at the juvenile facilitie. Kevin said he smoked marijuana one day with his friends. A couple days later Kevin and his friend were sitting on kevins stoop when another one of his friends came over and sold his friend Eddie some marijuana. Eddie started roling blunts and the cops pulled up and said they saw the deal happen. Eddie had given Kevin a Blunt so he got into some trouble. Kevin had to go to court and he got a year in Juvie but only six months with good behavior. Duke was really cool about it, he went to court with Kevin and his family and he went to the police barricks and called Jimmy and his mom and Cap to come down when Kevin was arrested. Before Kevin was arrested they were all working in the barbershop when a man named froggy came in to get an F shaved into the back of his head. Froggy just came from jail in Green Haven. He was arrested for shop lifting and in Dukes eyes hes just another screwed up life. All Kevin could talk about was how stupid Froggy was wich is funny because he goes to juvie right after this.

My reaction to Kevin going to Juvie is that i feel bad for the older guys at the barbershop. The older guys especially Duke have been trying to straiten Kevin out the entire time. It must be really dissapointing to Duke to have Kevin get arrested. But i also feel bad for Kevin because he is a smart kid and he gets good grades but he just got into the wrong crowd. Kevin was really in the wrong place at the wrong time. Duke knows that Kevin can lead a successful lifee as long as he starts making some good decisions.

My reaction to how caring and helpful Duke was was good. Duke really helped the family and i think he made Kevin feel a lot better by being there. Kevin wasnt sure why he did it and he regrets it. I am glad Kevin knows that what he did was wrong because i think that thats the first step in doing something right. Hopefully Kevin cleans up when he gets out of jail. He knows how to lead a successful life Duke told him all about it. Hopefully going to juvie will teach Kevin a lesson. This is my last blog and my reaction to this is happy because i dont like doing blogs. Now i wont have to blog for another year.

What do you think about how my book ended? Do you think that Kevin will learn his lesson?
