4th quarter blog #2

I finished reading my book and has a lot of themes and life messages in it also and it talks about how he tries to overcome his disadvantage. I think the guy in the book is a strong kid because he focuses on him and doesn't care what people say about him. I think people should read this book because it will inspire people and don't let other people get in your way. I liked this book because it involved basketball and a kid who didn't know what he was doing and he progressed into a really great athlete even though he has a disadvantage. In chapter 4 was my favorite chapter because that is when the kid learned more about stuff and he wanted to be on his own to learn new things and he did and people started to cheer for him instead of making front of him and more people were on his side.


Some memory moments in the book in the book are in chapter 2 when the author wanted the readers to remember something from the beginning of the book and it was a memory of what happened when the kid was first born and what disadvantage he had. Another one in the book is when the book ended and he brought back more memories of when the kid was born and it was sad because people didn't treat him right. When he is in school people make front of him for being different from other people. This is one of the books that I liked to read and I was in to the book also.

Blog #1 4th Quarter

The book I am reading has a lot of inspiration in it because the character gives lots of hope to people that have disadvantages. The book is really entertaining for me because it is about basketball and what he does to try to get better at the sport. He really wants to get better and be the best he can be on his team and he wanted to prove that he can get better and impress his school. This book reminds me of a movie I watched that this kid had a bad disadvantage and he tried to overcome it by being the best person he could be.


I have some tough questions about this book like how did he have this disadvantages because in the book it never said how he got it. The book doesn't give us lots of information about his disadvantage but I think this book is fiction. Another question I have is why do people treat him different from other people? I think they do it because he is different and has a disadvantage.

Tolerance- the ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

I first thought tolerance meant is when you are fed up with some thing and it really is frustrating and you get tired of it. There are different meanings but the one I said is when I think of the word tolerance and that is what happens to me sometimes when something really bothers me and I just get tired of it and just give up. I can be more tolerant with others by giving them a chance and get to know them more and try to understand them. Tolerance first meant to me by being the one who gets mad easily and has no patient in other people. I can live a more tolerant life by being understanding to other people and try to know more people. I once had intolerance occur to me when I was at home and my dog didn't wanna come in and I just left her out and waited 10 minutes and she wanted to come in. I will now know another definition about tolerance and what it means.
