The kids from basketball diaries are both the same and different from the modern day adolescents in today's society. The kids like to get into trouble and disobey adults and all the normal teenager crap. But what I've started to enjoy more about the kids of 1963 is that their lives seem more dangerous and exciting. Running from the cops and jumping off rocks into lakes from 80 feet in the air.
In the basketball diaries the kids seem to be living their lives at the age of 13. They're out drinking in the woods and partying. It sounds like a pretty decent life. What I'm waiting for is for them to finally get caught by someone. That is sort of my thesis on what is going to happen in the next part of the book. They've almost been caught for smokin pot or drinking so I dont think they can lay low forever.
As I said I'm really enjoying this book. The kids are both the same and different from the modern day adolescents in today's society. The kids like to get into trouble and disobey adults and all the normal teenager crap. But what I've started to enjoy more about the kids of 1963 is that their lives seem more dangerous and exciting.
