Narrative During Books On the Come Up

Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least make it out of her neighborhood one day. As the daughter of an underground rap legend who died before he hit big, Bri’s got big shoes to fill. But now that her mom has unexpectedly lost her job, food banks and shutoff notices are as much a part of Bri’s life as beats and rhymes. With bills piling up and homelessness staring her family down, Bri no longer just wants to make it—she has to make it.

On the Come Up is Angie Thomas’s homage to hip-hop, the art that sparked her passion for storytelling and continues to inspire her to this day. It is the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; of the struggle to become who you are and not who everyone expects you to be; and of the desperate realities of poor and working-class black families.

Discuss Epithetical Books On the Come Up

Damn, I loved this book! The Hate U Give was one of my favorite reads in 2017 and it looks like On the Come Up is going to make my 2019 list. Angie Thomas absolutely nails "voice" and "characterization " in her storytelling and in 16 year old Brianna, an aspiring rapper, she creates a protagonist that I was cheering for from page one. That's what we call our goal, the come up. It's when we finally make it with this rap stuff. I'm talking

Oh my, oh my, oh my. This was INTENSE. I have no doubt a movie will be produced. Otherwise, BIG MISTAKE because this is something the world needs and I just really want to see a teen movie with a rap battle + romance + family drama + diverse characters + fierce social involvement. Because YES.

Why isn't this in my hands yet? *sob*

ANGIE THOMAS!!!I am so in love with your words.This story follows, Bri Jackson, who, like Starr from THUG, lives in the neighborhood of Garden Heights. That is pretty much where the similarities end, however, between these two girls.Bri lives with her mother and her older brother. Her father, a once successful rapper, was gunned down in the streets, a victim of gang violence. Bri's mother, a recovering addict with over 5-years sobriety, is doing her best to be able to provide for her children

Urbandictionary.com shows the definition for on the come up as something that's not quite happening yet, but on the verge of blowing up or making some serious noise. This phrase definitely applies to Angie Thomas' newest heroine Bri in her goal of becoming a rapper... and in her life in general. If only she didn't have so much weighing her down. Hip-hop is where she finds her solace. Creating deeply felt lyrics allows her to cope and communicate freely all at once. It gives her a voice when

So good! I had Bri's songs stuck in my head the whole time I was reading this. Loved how this unpacks the "angry Black woman" stereotype through Bri's school experience and music. Audiobook review: Narration is great. It's the same voice actor who did Children of Blood and Bone for reference. There is some yelling, which is always a pet peeve of mine for volume control, but I'd still recommend the audio!tw: racial profiling, gangs/gang wars, drug dealing, addiction (character is recovered, but

Angie is the best! I loved this book.
