All American Boys

All American boy

I have to anser everysingle question can someone please help !!.

How does the discovery of the spray-painted tag, “Rashad Is Absent Again Today” change the dynamics about how students at the high school are able to deal with the event?

In what ways does this initially non-spoken symbol become an avenue for reflection and conversation among both the student body and the faculty?

13. All American Boys is told in a dual first-person narrative. How would the story be different if someone besides Rashad and Quinn were telling it?

Do you think changing the point of view would make the story better or worse?

If you could, would you want another character’s perspective to be included in the novel?

If so, whose?

14. Dwyer tells Quinn, “Listen, man. You’ve got to fix this. We got to get the team straight . . . This is too big. This is our life, man. Our futures.” Consider English’s, Shannon’s, Guzzo’s, Dwyer’s, and Quinn’s shared passion for basketball. What role does the game play in the lives of these characters, and in what ways does this sport allow these young men to come together as a team?

How is the team changed after the attack on Rashad?

From your perspective, what will they have to do as a team to overcome this divisive experience?

15. Explain the title, All American Boys. What does it mean?

In your opinion, does it accurately describe the events and relationships portrayed in the novel?

16. What is the significance of the march?

Why did it mean so much to Quinn, Rashad, and Spoony?

How about the rest of the characters?

Why do people protest?

Do you think protests are effective in voicing a cause?

Can they institute change?

17. How does finding his father on the Police Plaza steps, waiting to join them on the march, affect Rashad?

What makes this act such a powerful statement?

18. As the novel closes, Spoony and Berry read a roll call of real names of black people killed by police. What was your emotional response to the novel’s closing?

19. How is All American Boys a statement, or a response, to some of the racial injustice featured in the media today?

What is the message that you think the authors are trying to convey through this novel?

Do you think this book is an accurate reflection on society today?
