The First Part Last

I read The First Part Last by Angela Johnson.The book was about a teen dad that had to raise his baby alone without the mother. He was only seventeen years old. In the book it started with last part of the whole story like it started with bobby and feather living at home and bobby taking care of feather. In the book nia feathers mom was at home sleepin and just after bobby wnt out of the house nia started bleeding she was due in a month. Nia was dreaming that when she was five years old she wanted to be a firefighter and save people from burning buildings, she also dreamt that when she was ten she wanted to be a baloonist flying high over everyone, and thats what it felt like she was doing now she said " Im flying up high over everybody;way oaver the city and even myself. Im flying over bobby and my parents, and the park with all my friends in it. I guess this is what it must feel like to be dying."

Bobby gets home and see's a note that says to meet his mom at the hospital cause something happened to nia after bobby gets that note he runs to the hospital and finds out what room nia is in. bobby holds feather and nia is taken to a different hospital for urgent care. Then bobby has to raise feather alone because nia is very sick. nia wants to give feather up for adoption but bobby wont sign the papers cause nia is sick and feather is the only thing he has that reminds him of nia and that is how the book ends.

post a comment on this and tell me if i typed to much and if it is boring.?

Do you think 17 year old bobby made the right choice by keeping feather??
