Bobby is a very interesting character because as much as he's taking care of himself and his baby, he also has no idea what's going to happen in the future. Since he isn't an adult yet, he hasn't fully matured, so he still messes around with his friends J.L. and K Boy and pulls pranks at school. He knows he needs to take care of the baby, but he just wants control over his life. The narration in the book from Bobby makes it seem like the theme is control. The book is structured in an interesting way, because in every other chapter, it is relevant to either the present, where the baby has been born, or in the past when the baby was born. It's written with short paragraphs, and sometimes, only a sentence in a line. The book is written in such a way that it keeps you reading though, and makes it quick, I like that.
