305 Words2 Pages

Boobie Miles
Friday Night Lights By H.G. Bissinger
Boobie Miles is a very talented individual which results in him being very cocky and arrogant. He also seems to be very self-absorbed, only caring about what happens to him, and what he has to do to succeed.
In chapter 3 of Friday Night Lights the author highlights just how cocky Boobie really is by showing what happens when Boobie decides to show off during a scrimmage. Which results in Boobie seriously injuring his knee and being pulled from the game. How Boobie acted in the scrimmage shows just how much successful in football means to him and the things he’s willing to do to succeed.
The quotes I found that give insight into Boobie Miles are when he says " I won’t be able to play college

    Boobie Miles is one of these revered players. However, when a serious knee injury in a preseason scrimmage stops him from playing, his life begins to go downhill. Bissinger portrays Boobie as a quitter, who essentially gives up in the face of a challenge. On the contrary, it seems that the true cause of Boobie’s failure comes more from the pressure of the town’s high expectation of his performance. The crippling pressure eventually causes him to cave emotionally, as he loses potential football scholarships and, unable to re-achieve the level of play he once could, quits the team.
