Chapter 5-6

Lil j was hiding from the cops but he knew if he stayed in the open he would get caught so he decided to go to an abandoned building. Lil j saw a cop walking towards him, he saw a parked car and he got under it. Lil j waited till the cop went away and then he make a run for the abandoned building. When he got to the building, he opened the door with a kick because it was locked. He smelled something awful, but he still got in. He went up stairs to find a way to go out through the roof. He didn't found any way because all the door were locked. This reminds me of when i was a little kid in Mexico i got to an abandoned house that was locked so i made a hole through the wall and got in and there was a really awful smelled so i got out.

chapter 4-5

Lil J told Rico to search the guy because he was acting a little weird and when Rico was about to search his knee the guy/cop. The cop hit Rico with his shoulder and Lil j pushed him back making him drop the gun. Rico grabbed the gun and said to him to stay down. Lil J handcuffed the cop to a pole and they ran away but Rico went back to take the cop's wallet, then Rico shot 3 times at the cop. Later they ran away through a a yard and there was another cop, Rico shot at him and the cop shot back at them. Lil J felt something hit him but, he  did not notice he has gotten shot in his arm. They got separated Rico ran one direction, and Lil j ran another direction. There were cops everywhere Rico was found and arrested. Lil J was being tracked down, he was thinking that Rico would probably tell the cops about Lil j. These remind me of a movie i watched a couple years ago where 5 people went to a drug deal and the buyer was a cop,then the drug deal went wrong and the cop ended up killed with 3 other guys, 1 was arrested and the other was able to escape.

Chapter 3-4

When Lil J and Rico were going to where the drug deal was going to take place, Rico decided to take a some cocaine out of a bag so he could "sniff it" Lil J got mad because he knew if the buyer found out that he was paying the 100 dollars for a little more than half, that they would get in trouble if the buyer would not buy the product. Rico decided to steel more from the other bags to make it equal and for him to have more. When they got to the place the buyer was acting a little weird.

Chaper 2-3

Kelly is telling lil J if he could change anything of what happened with the drug deal and killing of the cop lil J responds to him that he doesn't know. Kelly turn on the TV and starts watching with lil J what happened that day. Lil J is a little afraid out because he is watching his life on television which he says is weird. Kelly starts looking at the TV when lil J woke up he goes to his mother and his mother tells him that if he could go pick her up to the doctor  he says yes and later she tells him if he could go get her pain pills that were on top of a cabinet, he went to get them and when he got there he open the container and top a couple of them and took the rest of them to his mom. He saw his mom take two pills with water and then putting the rest into the container for later. Lil J got out if his home and went to go met Rico, then they went to an abandon warehouse and they met a tough guy who gave them 3 little bags of cocaine and told them that each one was worth $100, and that if his money was stolen/lost that he would kill lil J and Rico.

Chapter 1-2

The itch starts when things get too heavy for Lil J. Skin popping or stealing pain pills from his mom help him relax. But Lil J's focus is wandering because money is short, and his man Rico knows a way to make some quick cash. It's supposed to be an easy deal, but it isn't so simple when the buyer is an undercover cop. With a gunshot wound to the arm, Rico in jail, and a police officer clinging to life, Lil J is starting to get dope sick. He'd do anything to change the last twenty-four hours, and when he stumbles into an abandoned crack house, it actually might be possible. In the abandon building he got into he is trying to get to the roof but most door are locked, he saw a room that had a TV and there was a chair close to the TV. He thought in the room was living some crazy homeless buy or drug addicts. he got inside the room and heard a voice that is where he met  Kelly.i have a connection to this part of the book because one day i got inside an abandon building and i saw a candle light so i went to see what it was and i saw a homeless man, we started talking and he told me that he was a retired soldier and that he did not had any family nor a place to stay.

Dope Sick

Walter Dean Myers weaves elements of magical realism into a harrowing story about drug use, violence, alternate perceptions of reality, and second chances.

This book is about a drug deal goes south and a cop has been shot. Lil J's on the run. And he's starting to get dope sick. He'd do anything to change the last twenty-four hours, and when he stumbles into an abandoned building, it actually might be possible. I don't have a connection to this book because i have not been in a drug deal or gotten shot, but i have heard stories were drug deals gone bad and there are people shot, wounded or killed.
