Angel Park Hoop Stars 3 Summary

The reader sees what Michael sees as he tells the story as he knows, it from his point of view. I used this topic sentence to show that this incredible story was being told to the readers through Michael’s point of view. This story being told by Michael makes the story completely different than it could have been. For example, if this story was being told from Dr. Hatch’s point of view the reader would be drawn to believe his beliefs were right because he would have been the protagonist of the story. Since this story is being told by Michael, the reader sees the real evil of Dr. Hatch and sees him as the antagonist instead of the protagonist.

When reading a fiction, not only the plot, but also the narrator and the point of view are important to readers in order to understand the story. Stories can be told in a various angle of vision or in one perspective, depending on which person point of view. “A story is said to be from a character’s point of view, or a character is said to be a focal or focalizing character” (Norton, 174). Readers sometimes feel they are overhearing the narrator’s thoughts because they follow along the narrator’s thoughts, actions, and feelings. Both Sonny’s Blues and the Yellow paper use first person narration.

After he was starting to get talked about he hit the biggest shot of his life. It was a buzzer beater three to win! He was working on his three point shot when he was getting better. He usually couldn’t shoot that good in games but that one went in. After he made that shot something had clicked in his head.

He would do anything just to dribble a basketball. After reading just a part of this book, you will see how much Danny is dedicated and wants to go somewhere in life with his talent. He knows his strongest talent is his passing and since he knows he is the shortest boy, he uses that talent to be extraordinary. No one can stop him on or off the court. Danny is always the first one to the gym and the last one to leave, which shows how much he loves this sport.

One reason why i like this book is because when he got injured he kept trying to succeed. I like that he kept trying to push himself when he got hurt because he always followed his dream and made it. The 12 year old name was Michael Arroyo and since he was young he loved baseball. Michael had a pitching arm so nice that it threw heat. Michael was from Cuba and its sad that he only has his 17 year old brother to take care of him.

The use of third person point of view is able to show the conflicting feelings that both characters acquire. For example in the second paragraph the speaker said, “He sat in front of the fire and looked across at his father and wondered just how he was going to tell him. It was a very serious thing. Tomorrow for the first time in all their trips together he wanted to go

I read the book Night Hoops, by: Carl Deuker. This book is about a boy named Nick that is dealing with some problems that are more than just basketball. He meets a boy names Trent Dawson who he was not too fond of at first, Trent is going through a lot more than Nick is in his home life, so Nick takes Trent under his wing to help keep him out of trouble. But at first Trent seems to resist and says he doesn’t need help. He ends up running out every night with his brother to get into some trouble.

It is also a tale of how the Dunbar basketball program would open doors for more basketball athletes such as Carmelo Anthony, Rudy Gay, Will Barton and many more. This story follows

Do you like to read sports book then this is your book to read, filled with action and tons of problems and sports events. I am reading the book Full Court Press by Mike Lupica this book is about a group of boys that live in downtown Chicago. The boys that are on the basketball team are always trying to do their best during the games. Unfortunately the coach is kind of a grumpy old coach that doesn’t like how the team works together and wants things done his way, also he loves to swear at the kids there isn’t a point in the book where he’s not happy with what they have done. In this journal I will be predicting, connecting, and questioning to what’s going on in the story.

Using third-person sets distance from the author and the characters, which provides clarity. The whole book is told out of chronological order, which means that a reader can become easily confused. By doing this, the story becomes a lot less clear. Setting Describe the setting(s) and the mood the setting(s) create Describe the significance of the OPENING scenes from the

This novel was exceptionally peculiar, which made the book nearly impossible to predict and held my attention until the very end. Matthew Quick was able to write a story I could easily relate to because of my passion towards basketball and common hardships teenagers endure. Moreover, frequent scenarios within the novel showed realistic struggles within violence that are very relatable and realistic in the 21st century. For instance, the internal struggles of high schoolers such as jealousy and trying to fit in. On top of this, it was astounding to see all three dynamic characters, Russ, Erin, and Finley develop throughout the story, as all three grew their friendship and learned from one another leaving you breathless.

I rate this book a ten out of a ten because I love baseball and it taught me so much. Mike Lupica went down in detail about how much you should never give up and how if you see someone down pick them up because it is the right thing to do. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to learn a lesson, likes baseball or softball and someone he thinks they are a leader because it will teach you how to take control and lead a team of anything. This book can be read for grades 6 and up because anyone under will not understand. I just love how Mike wrote this

Billy was already the best player on his team and was the best shooter in the league since Billy was the best shooter he would always like to shoot rather than passing. The day that it was the championships his brother had piano so Billy and his father had to go with him.

The novel is written from a third person objective. This novel is written as a play, so I know that this is third person. Plays are narrated in third person because you do not see the play through one character 's viewpoint. Also the word I does not often appear in the play.
