    The main character of the novel, Olivia, has not had a steady home environment as she has been shifted to many different foster homes. Although, she is a brilliant student when she is there. Olivia gets arrested for forging some stolen checks and then gets sent to jail. Detention center was her next stop because her foster mom said she was too much work. Ultimately, Olivia serves her time and goes to college, where she is very successful. Olivia’s story is an example of how Corwin structures his book. He uses anecdotes to give readers insight into the students lives. In addition, he organizes the novel into different times of the year so the readers can follow the students in chronological order. Corwin is effective using this strategy because it makes the readers feel apart of the story. The sequencing the novel by seasons and semesters gives readers the feeling that they are apart of the high school. Another strategy Corwin uses is portraying multiple Americas. He does this by showing us the struggle filled lives of most students and the fortunate lives of the others. For example, Toya has to overcome being a teen mother while still getting an education whereas Curt is raised by a single mother, but in Los Angeles’ wealthiest black community. Corwin…
