In the novel, Football Champ, There is a boy named troy who has to lead his team, and the NFL’s biggest star, to victory. I bet you don’t know a twelve year old that can predict game winning football plays, well now you do. Troy is the Atlanta Falcons best player, even though he isn’t actually a player he can think like one, he knows the right calls to play at the right time, and that can even lead his own team to victory and possibly make it to the NFL someday too. That is, if a reporter with a history doesn’t ruin it for him. This is an essay showing determination and kindness throughout the book and in real life today.
The theme of my novel is, if you dedicate yourself to something you can accomplish anything. This is conveyed in the book because in the novel, Troy’s football team looses their coach so Seth Halloway, (NFL player dating Troy’s mother), Jumps in and dedicates his time to help lead his team to the championship. For example a quote from my novel is, “You all have put too much time and effort to loose the championship, you can win, you will win.” This quote says that Seth knows the team is dedicated and have the ability to win, he just has to push them so they know that they can win against the best team in the whole state. This helps to prove that Seth is dedicated to helping the Duluth Tigers (Troy’s team) to victory by showing he is dedicated by caring about them winning. So, all in all, the theme is conveyed in this part of the book by showing that Seth is dedicated to helping Troy's team win.
My article relates to my book because in both story's there is a great deal of determination and kindness is displayed. My article is about a woman skier who trains very hard to get to the Olympics and does make it but gives up her spot on the USA team to her sister who is also a skier. This article supports my novel by showing that the events happening in the book are realistic events. A quote for the book to support this is,

    Reading is something we do every single day not just in school but when we are driving, or when we are ordering food at a restaurant. Every single day we read but this week one paper that stood out to me was a article about football and teachers. I can see how they may not seem as if they relate or if they will ever relate. However the article really shows how we may never know who’s right for the job even if it’s choosing a quarterback for the nfl or picking a teacher. In Most Likely to Succeed by Malcolm Gladwell they talk about a scout named Dan Shonka, and how he can’t determine if Chase Daniel the star quarterback at the University of Missouri will actually be able to play in the NFL. In the NFL you have one moment to throw the ball just…

    Another important theme is competition and games. In the novel, the boys are very competitive and play many sports. The most important contributor to this theme is Finny, because when playing games he is unable to comprehend the fact that there are winners and losers and opposing teams in sports. Finny says “"You always win at sports." This "you" was collective. Everyone always won at sports.” He seems to believe that everyone is a winner which adds to his image of pureness.

    Animal Experimentation plays an important role in today’s medical and pharmaceutical advances, but many question the morality of such a use of animal life. Whether you argue that testing different products and drugs on animals is necessary or not, this has become an integral part of developing products. From that Tylenol you pop to get rid of your headache, to that perfect shade of pink lip gloss, animal testing is used in order to produce the simplest household items. Today, in the United States, it is federal law that requires all pharmaceuticals, food additives, cosmetics, and garden chemicals to undergo a series of tests, including animal testing, before being available to general public. It is estimated between fifty and a hundred million vertebrate animals worldwide are being used fro animal experiments. While many believe that animal experimentation is a crucial part of research and safety, others argue the morality of this issue. Another point of view some share is a mixture of both opposing views, where one believes that animal experimentation should only be condoned in the field of medical research but not for vanity reasons.…

    In exploring the themes of identity and belonging, individuals (are the individuals exploring the themes? That’s how it reads.) will make sacrifices against certain things in order to belong in society, this usually results in the loss of identity.
