Ice
Gregory, the main character in the book is going through a time where he has to help his friend Ice. Ice is like a brother to him and if he doesn't find out what to do with Ice quick, Ice is going to end up as just another brother bleeding out on the streets of the hood.
Mtisha [Greg's girlfriend] is worried about Ice. She thinks that Ice is dealing drugs. She has the proof to back it up to, for example. Ice is suddenly showing up with more expensive clothing. He's pulling twenty's out of the blue. And he's cruising the streets with a Benz.
I think that eventually Greg will bring Ice up on this and Ice will not come clean. Then Greg will always feel uncomfortable around Ice because he will always know the truth. Also I think that Greg will soon leave Ice and become very comfortable hanging with Ducky. But that's a topic for a different blog post.

In my book SLAM Gregory [the main character] has O.D problems in his life. For example Greg got transferred to a "smarter" school away from all his friends. I would hate it if I got transferred out of my school M.S.51. First of all i would miss my super cool, extremely fun English teacher (extra credit). I would also miss all of my friends. Even the bummy one's
Also his school basketball team is WHACK [with a capital W] Greg's school team only brings him down and he will not go anywhere if he keeps playing with them. i also think that even though the book portrays Greg an a teenager who doesn't help his family at all. I can see that Greg is a young boy trying to get successful.
There is also this Girl Mtisha. She wants Greg and he knows it. But her mind is on something else. She is worried about Greg's best friend "Ice". She is worried about Ice's outside life and what he is doing with it. Greg has to figure out what to do with Ice before something happens to his best friend.
