Two Cause and Effect; Evaluate Their Logic
Ciearra Black
November 4 2010 I thought that the book Jim Thorpe, was a good book. I thought that it was good that the main character Jim Thorpe was in the Olympics because it kept him fit. It also was not good for the Olympics to take Jim’s trophies away because he did not deserve it. But I thought the end of the book was good because he became the best athlete in the world. It was good that Jim was in the Olympics because it kept him fit. He was an active man I tell you. He was an expert in all of these sports baseball, football, wrestling, field and track, boxing, golfing, swimming, and shooting. He was always running and stayed in several different sports. Also Mr.Thrope was well at all sports he played in. The Olympics took away Jim’s trophies away because in the summer he playing baseball for fun and the coach told him they would give him fifteen dollars a week for playing and he thought well fifteen bucks can get me something to eat so he took the money and later on the Olympics took his trophies for the simple fact that Jim had violated the amateur code of the Olympics. I didn’t like that they did that because that’s just bogus and they offered him the money so yeah he’s going to take it. Plus he needed the money to eat for the week and stuff so he deserved to have the money. I liked that he became the best athlete in the world, at the end of the book. He became the best athlete in the world because he was good in so many sports and won so many trophies. He was known worldwide. He was known worldwide because he was a professional athlete and he was so well known that he played baseball, football, he swam, wrestling, golfed, boxing, and plenty more also. The book, Jim Thorpe, was very interesting I thought. It was interesting because he always did more than one sport and all the sports he did participate he was amazing in all of them. He was amazing at what he did. Everybody liked the way he played his

    Wayne Coffey Summary

    • 567 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Either way, I thought Wayne Coffey did an incredible job writing about the greatest upset in sports history. I really liked how he went through each player and coach and dissected their life and what brought them to that moment they faced against the Soviets. Each player had a different story and they were all so unique and powerful in their own way. I also especially liked how Coffey writes about Herb Brooks. The way that Wayne Coffey talks about how Herb Brooks made himself the “enemy” of this United States hockey team was really interesting. This gives the reader a sense of what it takes to be the best, and Herb knew he had to do something not a lot of people have done. I enjoyed reading about this the most out of the entire book because without Brooks doing this…

    Yes, I would recommend this book to a friend because it was a very touching story. For example, Hope's father dying really showed how much she loved him. This book was easy to understand and to comprehend. The story was good for a young reader, not a more advanced reader. The story was a relatable vibe that a young athlete would understand. I would one hundred percent recommend this book to an athlete.…

    The book “basketball Junkie” is a Fantastic book it really is. This book is about a hometown high school superstar named Chris Herron on his journey from Fall River Massachusetts all the way to the Boston garden. Chris lived the dream of every kid who has ever bounced a basketball in their drive way. His accomplishments I believe is what really dragged me into the story. Just the fact that he wasn’t just an ordinary junkie from the streets that wrote a memoir. He was a basketball player that made it to the pros. I feel that gave it the edge just being up there compared to the best players such as Allen Iverson Jermaine o Neil and Kobe Bryant.…

    They opened up and told people what they experienced on an everyday situation. The best element of the book was how the boys talk and explain things. They were always cracking jokes and explaining it there way and how they viewed it. Thats why this book was very enjoyable. Some negative aspects of the book was that they talked about the Ida B. Wells half way through. If they talked about the Ida B. Wells a little sooner they could get more detail in before the end of the book. In the beginning it sounded like more of a memoir of their life until they talked about the Ida B. Wells. Thats how they could make book better and those are the negative aspects about the…

    "The athletes were distressed at the use of the Olympics and the American athletes for a political agenda. That's sort of counter to the whole Olympic Games, especially in the US where the government doesn't support the athletes at all but then sort of feel like [Carter] has a right to use us…” said rower, Carol Brown. This political cartoon from the time of the Olympics shows the strong emotions of how the athletes felt that they were being chained and prevented from competing.…

    Jesse Owens born and raised (where) less fortunate than many. He was a son of a sharecropper and a grandson of slaves. Growing up in a small community, he didn’t have a lot of advantages due to the lack of opportunities provided for African Americans. As a result, his motivation stemmed from prior athletes in his community. Many of these athletes, accomplish greatness through these determination and strides through adversity. Jesse Owens himself was very well respected. Owens gym teacher asked Jesse if would like to be on the track team, because he noticed his hard work ethics but because Jesse had to work after school, he was not able to join the team. Jesses coach told him as long as he continued to work hard he would be willing to offer to train Jesse in the morning before school, and Owens took him up on the offer. Buy the coach believing in Jesse he believed in himself, even though he knew that he was an even sick child, also his coach brought him breakfast every morning so he would keep up his strength and not get sick so often. Jesse trained so hard and motivated his team to the point that not he was noticed but his whole team was recognized by the whole town. (found the article,…
