In chapter four, Marcus, Ronnie describes a friend that she meets. He is a boy named Marcus, the boyfriend of Blaze a girl that Ronnie had met. Marcus is a jerk, Ronnie can already tell. By the way he treats Blaze and by the way he acts in general. Although he is a jerk, he has some pretty cool tricks up hiis sleve. Marcus and a few of his buddies street preform using fire balls. They take pieces of old cloth and soak them im a gasoline/fuel substance to keep them lit, then they use special gloves to handle the fireballs while juggling or messing around with the fireballs, creating a cool street show to earn some extra cash on the side.
Ronnie can tell just by watching the way that Marcus dismisses Blaze that he is completely uninterested in her. Blaze is very affectionate toward him and kisses on him and he just ignores her and pretends that she isnt even there. However, Ronnie can tell that Blaze is the kind of girl that goes for guys like that. Boys that dont pay any attention or listen to them in anyway and a girl is completely attracted to them (ie: Marcus and Blaze).
In this chapter, it conveys a huge character flaw in Marcus. Marcus in the chapter tells Ronnie a story that for some weird reason he is proud of. He tells about this boy who he talked to whom was very excited to take his boat out on the pier this summer and how much he loved his boat and only three days after him telling Marcus that, Marcus burnt the boat down. After telling that story Marcus said how he hated rich people and how he hated people that bragged.
This chapter was sort of interesting just learning about one of the characters in the book. I think that Marcus is an intersting character and he will have some sort of important impact on the book later on. The book is an excellent and easy read. At this point in time I would recommend it to someone.
