CRACKBACK

this book could probly relate to alot of kids that are in high school and that play sports even if its not football. in this book Miles(main character) father is a little crazy when it comes to his kids and sports. he is constantly getting at Miles for all the little things he does during a game, and never pointing out the positives. Miles also faces very difficult problems besides just his dad getting on to him for every little thing he does. His friends are starting to experiment with steroids and he is offered some. Also his coach gets cancer and is forced to quit coaching so the back up coach is now the head coach. The problem is the new coach has no idea what he is doing, he gets nervous, and loses it alot of the time, and takes it out on his players. Miles for example makes one bad play and he is no longer a starter because of it. and his backup is clearly not as good as he is. so you should read this book to find out how Miles reacts to all of these problems. Does he take the steroids? Does him and his father work things out? Does he continue to play football for the new coach?

Review on quarter 1

I think i have grown as a reader by doing all the jornals and drawing pictures that was in my mind even if they was just stick people, just showin little details in the book helps remember certain things that happen in the book.

I have grown as a writer by all of the vocabulary i have learned this quarter. there have been cases where i have actually heard the word on t.v. or someone else say it and if it wasnt for the vocabulary then i wouldnt have any idea what it meant and that just furtheres my knowledge in writing, because i have a bigger vocabulary.

Also this quarter my technology with computers has also went up. With this whole blogging and posting and what not.

Furthermore, i think this quarter has helped me with group work, and having an intelliginte discussion with someone else.

As for next quarter i hope to further my knowledge with writing, and vocabulary, and possibly work on punctuation errors.
