Hard Work and a Brother's Love


Author’s Note: Ty, the main character in the book goes through hard trials in his life. These trials come on the football team and in living with his uncle. Sometimes trials make us better.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a mean uncle and have you parents die?
Football Hero by Tim Green describes in detail what it would be like living with a mean uncle and cleaning restaurants and getting bullied on the football team.

The main character Ty stays strong throughout the novel, listening to his uncle telling him to clean the house and lots of other mean things and thinking about his parents and trying really hard on the football team. With help from his older brother Thane, life becomes a little easier for Ty at school and with his uncle and aunt. From another book I have read, Night Hoops, the author makes a character about Ty’s age and they both go through hard times and they each have an older brother that steps up for them so they don’t have to do lots more challenges than they already have to. 

I can relate to this story because I have played on a football team and I have an older brother. I know what it’s like to be on a team and I know what it’s like to have an older brother who helps me and looks out for me. The author makes Ty an example of someone who is strong and responsible and makes good choices to help other people do what’s right. The author wants you to learn how to be strong and stand up for yourself when times are tough.

I liked the book because it told a lot about bravery and hard work. When you want to be good at something you have to practice. Not everything comes easy you have to work to get better and stronger. The book is very inspiring to me and it teaches me to be more brave and strong at most of the things I do. 
 
Sometimes life can be hard but when you stick together with your sibling’s life is a little easier. Making good choices helps too. Being brave helps you a lot in life.

Go Big or Go Home

Author’s Note: Brady the main character goes through all this trials with his brother and they try to over come them.
The book Go Big or Go Home by Will Hobbs is a really exiting story that takes readers through the roughness of the Rocky Mountains and life. The novel is a good way to teach kids lessons about staying true to family and friends even in a crisis.

The Author shows good emotion and describes things very well throughout the entire book. He teaches readers to go on adventures and have fun in life. The Author tells us something’s are difficult but we can overcome the trials. The Author again teaches us to keep pushing forward to challenge our self’s in the future to come. In the novel the Author makes the main character and his older brother go through all this adventures and ruff times.

On the other hand the author got his point across very well in the novel. His point in the story was that you have lots of hard challenges in your life that you should accomplish so your life becomes a little easier. The author in the book gave really good examples of what some hard trials are like in your life. He made two brothers in the story because he wants them to go through all these hard trials together to help each other out.

It relates to me because when I was snowboarding I got stuck in a tree and couldn’t get out for a why’ll. That relates to the book because when Brady the main character and his brother were on a little raft trying to catch fish one big fish got on their line and they tried to get the fish in there raft but the fish got away and the hook from the fish line hit their raft and the raft got a hole on the side so they had to swim out and get on shore.


Throughout the book the author shows everything very clear and describes things very well. The author in this novel tells us that if you have trials you can get help by another person you know.

The life of a Ipod

Authors Note: This is about a life of a ipod.

As I was processed through the machine there were Ipads on the other manufucturing machine. I felt all of the parts get put on me the battery and then the screen. One worker put me in the case with the ear phones and the charging cord. Another worker took me in a box were others of me were in. He took all of us in a truck and shipped us off at a store called Best buy. The worker took us all in and placed us in a glass case so other people can buy us. One boy about 13 came with his parents and wanted one of the workers to open the glass case to buy oneof us and so he did and I was hoping it was me who got picked. And sure enough it was me, the kid look so happy and so he took my up to the check out and bought me. So when he got home he opened me and started to plug me in to his computer to put apps and songs on me. He loved his new ipod and showed all of his friends.

football

Football is one of the most popular sports that people whatch on TV. Its really exciting when the defense or the offence makes a big play. My favorite team in the NFL is the Houston Texans because of JJ Watt and my favorite player is JJ Watt. He is a really good defensive lineman he gets lots of tackles every game and got a interception for a touchdown a couple games ago.
