Long Answer
1. Note: students' answers should vary. However, it is important they understand that if the story was told from Boy21’s perspective, the novel would focus on the following possible events: Russ’s history, his live for basketball and previous experience playing, why he sacrifices so much for his friendship with Finley, and whether or not his Identity as Boy21 is a conscious or unconscious decision (Various chapters).
2. Finley’s approach to basketball embodies the “hard work” element, while Boy21 embodies “talent.” In the end, neither is necessarily more important than the other; what is most important is doing what you love and surrounding yourself with the people who love you.
