Theme Of Basketball Book Report

I find the theme in this book to be something that an anyday person or child would experience in a day or much longer piece of time. Any person can experience times of confusion and emotional instability, but if that person sticks it out; they will find an answer to their problems or they will answer answer it for themselves. This pertains to a lifelong conflict, but it does not just pertain to that. It relates to a situation in a day, week, or even, an

I read the book Summer Basketball, by Mike Lupica. This book was about a thirteen year-old boy named Danny Walker. Danny is a very small kid for his age, and is asked to attend a summer basketball camp. When he first gets to the camp, things start to go bad for Danny right away. He is placed in a cabin with eleven and twelve year-old kids instead of kids his own age. While at camp, Danny met some new friends who enjoy the sport, but were also bigger than him. He begins to lose interest towards the end of the camp, and comes with a plan to fake an injury so he would get sent home and not have to play. However his best friend, Tess, has a cabin across the lake from his camp. He uses her for motivation because he doesn’t want to disappoint her.

I would choose this theme over any other countless themes since Dallas and Florida, “The Trouble Twins” of the Boxton Creek Home have been searching for a family for 13 years, only to end up depending on each other, and not letting anyone in, both emotionally and socially. Well, that was until Sairy and Tiller took them under their wing, as their own-birth children. Tiller and Sairy have made a parental bond with “The Trouble Twins” and Dallas and Florida created a daughter and son bond with “the old couple.” Along with the importance of family, Trust was also another major theme in the book. Florida and Dallas have been through so much since they passed along to different foster parents, from being locked in basements to hours of hard labor. They were never able to witness what it would be like to acquire loving parents, so they could never trust anyone, even if they really wanted

An example of a major theme in the book is family, because Melody’s mother and father as well as Mrs.V (Melody’s kind/supportive neighbor) are always supporting Melody with her disorder. When Melody was a baby, they dropped her off at Mrs. V’s house so she could babysit. At Mrs.V’s house Mrs.V teaches Melody new words, by putting stickers with words all over her board

The theme of the book is not to let your ego take over with what has to be done or become selfish because you are the best. I say this because the main character is a military commander and a father and he can't let that interfere with his family. He makes sure that he takes care about everyone and doesn't think he's the best because he has a high military background. He then gets put in charge and since he was in the army but he doesn't think he can do it. He then learns he has to and he can't let himself get in the way with what has to be done. Also you can’t be selfish because you are in charge because when you only care about yourself and not others you

Personal Response: Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player of all time. This book was great to be able to read about his life. His struggles in high school really intrigued me. I was surprised to find out that Michael was cut from the basketball team as a freshman. So many people idolized Jordan. He was a great person on and off the court.

There are only four seconds left, and the home team is down by two. The guard dishes to the center, breaking across the middle. He takes the pass, spins once, and puts up a shot. A defender appears to be draped all over him as the ball hangs in the air forever. The horn sounds, drowning out the referee's whistle. Everyone rises to their feet, their eyes following the trajectory of the spinning ball. A deafening roar explodes as the ball settles into the net. Yes! You instantly see the official has blown his whistle, and you know the player will have a chance
