This question is about how Quinn would personally define the characteristics of an All-American boy-- not how he thinks other people would. Your reaponse to this question should reflect an understanding of Quinn's values
Book : All American boys
This really depends on how you define "All American Boy". Quinn's role in the story is to be a witness for the injustice against his community member. It's meaningful that Rashad and Quinn don't actually know each other, because that means that Quinn's decision to choose Rashad over Paul the policeman is correctly motivated. All in all, Quinn seems to represent the process of community support and grief. Not only does Quinn grieve the violence he witnessed, he also mourns the death of Paul's influence as a role model (the community also does this). Ultimately, though, it is the job of the community to reaffirm the standards for behavior. If "all American Boy" is defined by standing up to do the right thing, Quinn might fit this definition.
