For me it was the Jason from the book rainbowboys

Explanation: Jason like many others was going through a questionable time in his life specifically speaking his sexuality. He had a girlfriend but still lusted after boys. There are many other things he had problems with like for example his abusive father who constantly put him down and was the steryptypical alcholoivc. Something that made me feel feelings for him was the fact that he embraced his bisexuality at the end of the book as many people still see it as a "transition" from gay to straight and vice versa.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
