- Jack wanted to go back to where his dad work and try to help his dad out and earn a living like that and plan to not go to school yet until he get enough money
- He mentions a lot of speech and writing lines by author I had never heard of. Which is cool because then I learn new things.
- I realize that when he said his dad is going to count on him for him to come back and help him out that Jack going to mess up somehow.
- Well this is the first book I ever read that the author tell you that they do drugs and even tell you how is it like.
- This is when his life changes around, because he got into drugs and wanting to make a living out the drugs profit.
