The End of Yummy

I have recently finished the Comic book Yummy and I was shocked by the ending. The young kid was scared that he had all these people looking for him and he didn't know were to go. His so called brothers Left him and he really felt alone. I understand his feeling because that's exactly what gangs do to a person. They never really care about a member unless he's doing his job and making money. sadly for Yummy he didn't do his job right and that why the gang got fed up with him and (spoiler alert) they killed him.
At the very end of the book i was reading the authors notes and he touched on how the violence in Chicago was taking the lives of many your souls that just lived in the wrong place. They lived in a neighborhood were you had to be tough and you had to be street smart or else you weren't going to make it. With gang persuading young kids no more that 13 years of age to go out a kill or sell drugs for them, saying that they will protect them that they would be there for them saying that they were a "family" was just telling those poor kids a huge lie to their faces.
Also at they end of the story the author asked was yummy a nice kid hiding under the mask if a hard tough gangster of was he really a gangster pretending to be nice to people when adults were around. To be honest you could argue both ways equally. For me I can't choose a side that I could argue best and defend. I can say one thing tho that Yummy's life will never be forgotten to those who really knew him and could really answer the authors question.

Yummy

I have recently finished my last book I Am Number Four and It rapped up with this huge battle between him, his friends, number six and his protector all against what you can call a small magadorian army.

I am now reading Yummy a south side story of a young kid who fell into the life of crime. The book is told in a comic through the voice of Roger a fictional character who wants to know the whole story of who yummy was a why he was killed. Though roger is a fictional character the story is still true with little fictional detail to make it more dramatic. 

Its a great book if you want to read something quick and want to learn a little about the history of the Southside of Chicago and want to learn a little of how it was like to live there and the big stories that went down around that area. Roger who is only just 11 years of age never really knew yummy. it is said that they went to the same school and yummy would pick on him and bully him. but those were the day when yummy even came to school. Most days he would just skip school; doing things like stealing, fighting and blasting his gun all over the place. Yummy just being only 11 years of age himself joined a gang called the Black disciple Nation BDN for short which he felt showed him a family of brothers who would protect him. 

I kinda sympythise for yummy. Both parents in and out of jail, forced to live with his grandmother who actually showed him love and care but he never apreceated it. He was taken away form his grandmother and sent to live in a special home for boy where there he was picked on.  So I can see why he looked towards a gang so they he could feel security in his life.
