Tension has been made into books for a long time. It is the confliction of opinions, relationships, demands, or implications. In the "Other Side" by Jacqueline Woodson there is plenty of tension between racism and segregation, she shows this through the characters and the setting. While as in "We Beat the Streets" by Sharon Draper the excerpt takes a place where most people do not come up or become great things and it is also shown through characters and the setting.
To begin, Jacqueline Woodson created tension in "The Other Side" by using the characters along with the setting. In the story, there is a girl named Clover who lives in a home where her mother says, "Don't climb over that fence when you play. She said it wasn't safe." (Page 1)
