The grammar is not to difficult but the sentenses can be long and complex sometimes, it's a mix though.
The story is a good blend of dialogues, thoughts and descriptions of the characters and events in the story.
The vocabluary changes a lot with the characters, Marcus speaks very oldfashion and mature even though he's only twelve. Will speaks very childish and swears a lot, he also uses alot of dialect.
The narrator is like god. He knows everything about everyone and the vocabluary he's using defines who the characters are
"You pathetic little shitbags." We think this is sentense explains what kind of person Ellie (Marcus Friend(sort of(in a way you dont know:):):) is.
"I dunno." Will said this and it really shows what kind dialect he's usingh.

About a Boy (3/5)
After reading up on the info, neither one of us can say that it helped us understand the story better. The time and place, however, is inportant is important because it relates to music all the time.
The place is important because of the way the dress, eat and talk. But it could also take place in any other big city in England without any big differences in the story.
You can tell the time of the story because of the bands and music. For instance: "nobody's listening to Nirvana anymore".

About a Boy (2/5)
How has the story envolved:
Will starts dating Suzie, and goes on a picnic with her, her daughter, and Marcus. Marcus is bored so he starts to throw bread on ducks. He kills one, but Will helps him getting out of trouble when the park-keeper shows up. at the end the day, when they go to drop off Marcus at his mums flat, they found her laying on the floor halfdead with an empty pill bottle next to her. They take her to the hospital and she survives. when she gets home again she seems to be happy and normal, just as if nothing happend. But Marcus knows that she wont stay like that for long, so he starts to hang out in Wills flat and realizes that he have no kid. But he doesn't tell his mum because he wants her and Will to be together so that he wont be alone if she died.
Maincaracters developing:
Will:
He's getting bored of the kid thing and stops going to the SPAT meetings. He's confused about Marcus and his mum. Sometimes he wants to leave and never see them again and sometimes he just wants to take care of them.
He doesn't do a thing for living. He gets money from his fathers christmas song(Santa's Super Sleight) but he is searching for jobs just for fun
Marcus:
He's stil getting bullied at school, and he doesn't feel good at home. So he sanctuary at Wills flat.
