Comprehension Help on Ghost by Jason Reynolds.

Coach doesn't exactly let Ghost off the hook.... he is going to make him accountable. Coach, however, also realizes that people are sometimes desperate, and that the repurcussions often send young people down the wrong path never to return. Coach wants Ghost to stay on the right path, to make good on his mistake, and he also wants to serve as a moral example..... not just for Ghost, but for his entire team.
