 - I never thought a visit to the library can be so racial and so rude. I wouldn’t go to a library as often as I do and I barely do.
 - There is no books and no one is bother changing that fact, and every time when jack ask what happen the books the people who work there try to annoy him.
 - Wow, in the place he live, you have to shoot a white person in the lower hip to be down with black people. 
 - He did exactly what the black people told him, go to a white bar and drink a white cold beer. How stupid is he. 
 - So now he taking  “ hash “ for money but not “bread”. There is a lot of street word here.

 - Direct Characterizations- When the blacks at the library were talking to Jack. Even though Jack didn’t state that they were mean but in there speech we could tell they are some rude people
 - Climax - The main problem right now for Jack is that we might get arrested for smuggling drugs. He had to because he needed the money.
1 Overview
 - When Rik called Jack and told him that he have a serious business with him and he might earn like 10,000 dollars if they sold the Hash. And Jack met this new guy name Hamilton and he is from British, so they are meet up and ask Jack if he want to be in and Jack didn’t even care because money is all he need so he didn’t even bother to think about it and accept his deal. And when he got home he pack his stuff and said good bye to his parent and he is off the island.
