Social Issue Relevance:
In this book, the drug abuse that Joseph's mother took part in really had a negative impact on his life. It caused his life to be more complicated than it needed to be. Parents who abuse drugs are not fit to take care of a child and have bad character. Now days, children with parents who abuse drugs are known to have many behavoral problems and social problems. They can also suffer mentally. Having a parent like this, can influence a child in the wrong way. It will be more likely for them to follow in there parents footsteps and do drugs. It is better that a child is removed from this type of enviorment because parental drug abuse only causes problems.

Daddy: [[image:idris_elba_photo.jpg width="195" height="134" align="left"]]
I picked Idris Elba to play the role of the father because in a pervious movie he acted in, he played the role of a loving father, who was helpless when it came to his kids because of the situation he was in.

Joseph:
I chose Kyle Massey to play as Joseph because he's a young, strong, an compassionate teen.

Mama:
I chose Tasha Smith because she is an outspoken actress.
