PERSONIFICATION
"My mother used to say,I know you're young,gotta get it out,but just remember, whenyou're walking in the nighttime,make sure the nighttimeain't walking into you.”
The author uses "the nighttime" often todescribe the ways in which some of the characters turn towards dangerous and destructive behavior such as selling drugs, owning guns, joining gangs, seeking revenge. Will's mother warned Shawn about getting caught up in that world. In her quote, "the nighttime" is used like a person - "walking into you".

Shawn was zipped into a bagand rolled away, his blood addedto the pavement galaxy ofbubblegum stars. The tapeframed it like it was art. And the nextday, kids would play mummy with it.
Reynolds weaves every day objects and scenes into the tragic events of Shawn's death. These innocent elements like bubblegum on the sidewalk and children using the caution tape as a plaything lend a sense of the ordinary to the horrific and shocking circumstances of a shooting.The similes suggest that while tragic, shootings are something with which the neighborhood has sadly become all too familiar.
