This story is about Jerome and Bix, they are two students, the first one is an Afro- American and the second one is a white boy. ¨The Moves Make The Man¨¨ is a sports novel, written by Bruce Brooks. This story deals with many topics such as racism, cruelty, violence, poverty, mental problems, motivation, the deception and truth, its consequences, the psychology of adolescents, society and, in part, religion. The exposition is a part of the story, which precedes the beginning of the plot, gives background information and sometimes prior events. The right answer is B), because Jerome wants to write a book about his disappeared friend Bix. He emphasizes, that he is the only one who can write this story and it`s going to be truthful. Jerome also states, that he doesn`t understand everything, but the whole summary is in his head. He also mentions his point of view on the society and moral values of ¨white churches¨, that he believes are not so good as his, he belongs to. Jerome tells us how he took Bix`s notebook, because his friend let him do it. From one side it was a theft, but Jerome denied that. Bix wanted him to take it and didn`t want his step-father had it. Jerome thought that his step-father would have burnt it and Jerome didn`t think that he had been a thief. The text is full of sorrow and it shows that Jerome loved his friend, he missed him and he wanted to show everyone that Bix wasn`t as bad as society thought. He had disappeared, but Jerome wanted to tell the whole truth of his life in order to show why he did it. There is some information about sports, the source of this information hides in Bix`s notebook, but the answer A) doesn`t fit, and answer C) neither, because Jerome doesn`t mention any social media, which could have caused a problem. Jerome is writing a book, but we don`t know how he is going to use this information. He is seeking the truth and perhaps he is going to publish it, but this question is left unanswered for the readers.

To the causal eye, Green Valley, Nevada, a corporate master-planned community just south of Las Vegas, would appear to be a pleasant place to live. On a Sunday last April—a week before the riots in Los Angeles and related disturbances in Las Vegas—the golf carts were lined up three abreast at the up-scale ―Legacy‖ course; people in golf outfits on the clubhouse veranda were eating three-cheese omelets and strawberry waffles and looking out over the palm trees and fairways, talking business and reading Sunday newspapers. In nearby Parkside Village, one of Green Valley’s thirty-five developments, a few homeowners washed cars or boats or pulled up weeds in the sun. Cars wound slowly over clean broad streets, ferrying children to swimming pools and backyard barbeques and Cineplex matinees. At the Silver Springs tennis courts, a well-tanned teenage boy in tennis togs pummeled his sweating father. Two twelve-year-old daredevils on expensive mountain bikes, decked out in Chicago Bulls caps and matching tank tops, watched and ate chocolate candies.
