The Basketball Diaries is a book that deals with a kid who was about 12 years old until he was about 15. He was a rebellious teenager living on the streets of New York City. He was writing this diary in chronological order. In this diary Jim Carroll writes how he plays basketball, hustles, steals, gets hooked on drugs, gets high, and also how he searches for something pure. 
This book stuck out to me because i love playing basketball and i wanted to learn how other teenagers play and how their life stories are different then mine. Jim Carroll's life was way different then mine when i started playing basketball because i did not get involved in drugs and living on the streets and i also did not start hustling.
