Theme/Summary:
This blog post meets the standards and expectations of the theme according to the rubric on all aspects. First, I had written a theme, "life isn't always fair." Next, I included a quote to prove this theme about how Boobie's Uncle L.V. was always telling him that he was "heisman material from day one." Boobie was a very good football player getting offers from top notch colleges all around the country for football. But, early in his senior season, he had a devastating injury to his knee which ended his season/career as a football player. With his terrible grades and inability to play football Boobie went from on top of the world to down in the dumps with no hope. He learned the hard way that life isn't always fair. I then summarized the book by stating that the team has worked hard even with all the injuries and has made it to the state championship but lost to their rivals. This also reflects the theme because they put in all the hard work and got to the championship but ended up losing. They did however get back to the championship the following year and win.
Next trimester, my reading goal is to read more than 2 higher level books and truly understand them. My goal for writing is to write with more passion and with better grammar so it sound better overall. For reading I want to improve my interest so I will be able to read a full book and be intrigued the whole time. For writing I would like to use better grammar and syntax.
