Tyrell by Coe Booth - Discuss Favorite Quote

So far Tyrell is on a mission of trying to figure out how to make some money and to get him and his family out of Bennett (the shelter home). He decides to go over his friend's Cal house that lives not too far from Novisha (his girlfriend). He goes there to tell Cal his plan and how they can make some money the legit way. He wants to pick up from where his father left off with the clubs, parties, and the music, where he would be the DJ, just like his dad was. Only one thing he didn't want though that his dad did have: drugs.
My favorite quote in the book was when Tyrell said "I don't ever want to end up like my dad". This quote is one of my favorites because he has his mind made up about never doing the things his dad to get him to where he is now. He also wants to be able to take care of his girl and future family, unlike what his dad is doing now. He doesn't understand why his mom keeps bugging him and making him feel like he is supposed to take care of her and his little brother, when that's his dad's job, but he understands that he doesnt want to be like that so he has a plan to make it right.

Restating so far what has happened in the book, Tyrell is staying in a shelter with his mom and little brother. He also meets this girl named Jazmine that likes him and that's staying in the same shelter as him. He isn't physically attracted to her, but in his head he lusts her. He always thinks of his girlfriend who supports him and loves him no matter what, but he feels different and unwanted because if the type of treatment he gets from his mother and with his father being locked up, he always think he is going to end up like him one day.

An update from there, Tyrell gets into a huge argument with his mom one night and storms off. He decides to go to Jazmines room to calm down and sleep there for the next night. When he's there, they end up cuddling and falling asleep next to each other. He feels bad for laying next to another girl that's not his girlfriend, so before anything else happens, he wakes up and leaves and go back to his shelter the next morning. His mom acts like she doesnt want to let him in, and says she is going to throw all of his stuff out and that he is worthless for not taking care of her and that its his fault why they are there any way. How will Tyrell react now?

Tyrell by Coe Booth - Make Predictions

There is a young boy named Tyrell that is going through a lot with his spaced out mother and his younger brother. They are now living in a homeless shelter together, where its very nasty and old. He has a girlfriend that supports him, but he feels like he isn't good enough for her, his father is in jail, and now being at the homeless shelter, there is another girl that is falling for him, but the desires for her is complicated. He feels that if he can get some money, everything will be better and he can put his brother in a better place and leave his nagging, no good mother for good. Another thing he faces though, is that he will end up like his father and leave everything behind that he was suppose to take care of.
My predictions for the next part of this story is that Tyrell might slip up by doing something with girl that is in the homeless shelter with him and he might retaliate against a lot of people. But I also think that he will get it together and be able to help out his mother, be with his girlfriend, and be able to live his life without struggling anymore. Thats the only kind of lifestyle he wants, but what will he do and what will he risk to have this kind of lifestyle? I dont know, but I will keep reading and hopefully the outcome is great.
