Compare and contrast - The First Part Last & Homeboyz

In both books they struggle in their life's family and friends. In the book Homeboyz it's about this guy named Teddy who's sister Tina was killed in a drive by but randomly because it was also just a hit ad run. Teddys family was devastated and mad since they "ran" the streets the boys thought they should do something about it, and that means fight or kill one or do something back. Teddy was arrested because he attempted homicide after his sisters loss. In the book th first part last, Bobby is a father and at a younger age and is worrying about keeping his daughter Feather.  They bothering of relate be used they struggle a lot and since they are from the "hood" they get to more trouble and are also seen as poor people. They are also very different because it's  a different situation, in Homeboyz Teddy lost his sister to a drive by and in The First Part Last Bobby just needs to figure out what's better for Feather.

The first part last

In the book, "The First Part Last" I feel has a lot of intense,the reason I say that is because Bobby has a girlfriend named Nia and they have a baby together named Feather. The live with Bobby's mom and are going to move back with his dad because he feels like it's a better place to raise Feather. He has his doubts on keeping her because he's still young but when he sees how his friends and family are with her he notices something, that she brings them together. He realizes that he never loved anyone as much as he loves Feather. The reason it's intense is because he doesn't really know what to do with his life and having a baby makes him think about everything he has to do and everything he needs to do to keep Feather and him wealthy and happy.

The first part last

In the book " The First Part Last" by Angela Johnson is about this couple who has a kid but isn't really prepaired for having one yet. The story goes from when they had the child to before they had it. It's like  every chapter is different the flirts one started with now and the next with then, and so on and so on. It's a really good book because you don't really expect so much from it. The couple doesn't really want the baby but at the same time they do because they can't really resist her. I feel like the baby and the father had this connection because in the book he talks about how beautiful she is and how she lays on him and breaths. I feel like this is a very important part of the book because he explains all these things which might make him want to keep her.
