For this assignment, I wrote about the book Takedown by Allison van Diepen, its about a young boy named Darren who gets sent to juvie because he was covering for a notorious gang leader, once free he is thirsty for revenge and he works with the police to take Diamond Tony down. This story takes place in Canada Toronto, I know this because of the quotes “November was the ugliest time of the year in the Jane and Finch projects” which can be found on page 4 chapter 2, and “We were in the financial district, where white collared rich guys traded stock” which can be found on page 12 chapter 3, both of those places can be found in Toronto so I decided to add The CN tower as a representation of it. Found in the Financial district is the café that Darren and Detective Prescott had lunch in, “That afternoon I sat with detective Prescott at café on Bay Street” found on page 12 chapter 3, I added the café too. This book made everything seem sketchy and gloomy because of all the topics the writer was talking about, drugs, death etc. Also because of the weather which was somewhere around Fall at the start of the book and went into winter towards the middle end, “November was the ugliest time of the year in the Jane and Finch projects” found on page 4 chapter 2 and “The Christmas holidays were underway, and we were spending all of our free time together.” Found on page 89-90 on chapter 17. When Darren deals his drugs, he goes to the 17-high rise, “Cam and I went to our corner in front of the 17-high rise” which can be found on page 32 chapter 5. After a certain night of dealing him and his partners went too a club called the Chaos Club, “Chaos was the type of club you’d see in a music video” page 69 chapter 15, there he met his girlfriend Jessica and she took him to the Middle Eastern Diner, “Jessica took me to the Middle Eastern diner” page 78 chapter 78. Following them meeting up they decide to hang out more and decide to go Christmas shopping in the mall with Jessica’s little sister, that’s where Darren almost has an altercation with the bloods, “An hour later we were at the mall, so was everyone in the neighborhood” page 92 chapter 19. Darren and Jessica both go to the same school in the Jane and Finch projects, “One of them was Jessica Thompson. She was in economics-one of my three eleventh – grade classes” found on page 10 chapter 2. This book is a great book for anyone my age (15) or someone that is not looking for a childish book. The subjects and setting makes everything gloomy and unpleasant but there’s instances of hope and happiness like Darren’s little brother Kiki who is awesome and sweet, or Darren’s dreams of becoming a music producer with his friend White Chris.
