Question

What does it mean to be an All American Boy to Rashad?

Answer 1

The term All-American is colloquially used to describe stereotypically clean-cut, mainstream, or conventional American middle-class people, particularly teenagers and young adults. Rashad is one of the two central characters in the book. He is a 17-year-old African-American junior at Springfield Central High. He's clean-cut, an ROTC kid, and he has mad art skills. Rashad is a boy trying to navigate high school.
