Black symbolizes death, and night, and in the story there is death. The death of father Hooper which takes place in the climax. His beloved wife, stays right by his side as she died as well. They were both in love, and she loved him endlessly even though the veil was sitting on his head every step of the way.

There are many books out there that are just waiting to be picked up by someone. Some of those books are good, some are great and then others aren’t as much fun to read. Out of all the books in the world the 3 books that have been read this year, A stranger in the house, the couple next door, and the fallout, have been the leading ones for the best book. To start off, the third best book, “The Fallout” by sa bodeen, is about a family of 6 kids and their mother who had just escaped their father who had kept them all underground for 5 years. 3 of the kids had been born after going into the underground hideout and 1 son, the main character’s twin, was left outside as well as their grandmother.
(Zusak 9). Black is a color that is often associated with death and despair. The reader is anticipating that something unfortunate will happen, but isn’t exactly sure about what will take place. It’s not clear if any characters will die, or if the book thief will live. Since the author mentions the color black, the reader is left to anticipate the tragic events that will soon unfold.
The book I have chosen to review is Boy 21, a fictional read that is written by Matthew Quick. Quick is a New York Times best-selling author debuting in novels such as The Silver Linings Playbook and Love May Fail. To best describe this book, it is a captivating read that is comforting for the mind, as it canvasses the raw and unflinching life of a high school senior who displays love for basketball and life relationships. Furthermore, set in a troubled Belmont city of Philadelphia, Quick incorporates the presence of mobs and violence which is captivating towards the reader and audience. I was intrigued about how the novel was written through Finley the main protagonist, which was Quick’s childhood perspective of life in Philadelphia and his passion towards basketball.
The color black is associated with death, evil, and mystery. Although some may argue that black isn't a color and that it's a shade, authors like to use it because it can bring out deep emotions. The book says that the streets were filled with black smoke. Yes, they were indeed filled with black smoke but, there is much more meaning than that. The streets were filled with tragedy.
