  1. black and white is a book about a black and white kid that are best friends. They live in a rough part of town and play on the high school basketball team together. THey have grown up together. They do pretty much everything together. The reason this is important is caquse they dont have alot of money. They make some bad choices down the road to try and make some money. Marcus is the black boy and eddie is his white friend.They are both funny, athltic and risk takers.But being a risck taker isnt always a good thing....

  2. black and white takes place in the dangerous inner-city. Black and White are the two main characters,Marcus and Eddie. They are two popular kids at their school and are the best of friends! they take many risks in the first few chapters of the book and i'm not far enough to tell but i think they will pay for it! the set up of the book is really nice, it shows the point of views of both black and white! this set up makes it easier to understand what is going on in both of the characters lives. i am looking forward to the rest of this book!-Chris Bounds

    The setting of black and white by Paul Voloponi is in island city highschool (ghetto).The main characters are "Black" and "white", known as Marcus and Eddie.Marcus comes from a poor backround on long island growing up in the gehtto.Eddie comes from the nicer end on long Island,his family has money.Marcus and Eddie grow up as best friends despite there racial differences of Marcus being a less fortunate black boy from the bad parts of long island and Eddie being a white kid from the nicer end of the town. Their love for basketball pulls these two characters together throughout the book.

    One major conflict happens when marcus and eddie where doing their last stickup to get a little bit more money in their pockets.this stick had some issues when they went of to the last victim this guy wasn't gonna have it so eddie shot him on accident.this major conflict might have them lose their career in basketball and maybe even their friendship.because they have made a bad choice this will most likely affect their whole future.they also face a conflict within the world because how much money one has or the race of one or even how one acts
