Take a look at this clip from The Great American Read episode "Who Am I?" as author Jason Reynolds describes his novel Ghost and the main character's path to self discovery.
In the clip, author Jason Reynolds says that, “Castle (also known as Ghost) is what some might consider a knucklehead, but he’s the best of the knuckleheads. We all know these young people who have always got something to say. They don’t mean any harm. But they haven’t found a place to put some of this energy.”
In the book, Ghost, Castle finds a place to put his energy—into running on an elite track team that’s completely different from anything he’s ever know before in his life. With this in mind, let’s explore the symbolism the author uses to bring relatability, reality, and relevance to Castle’s story.
