In Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club‚ from “Two Kinds” and in Bissinger’s Friday Night Lights‚ the outcome of parents expectations of their children is perfectly portrayed.

The book covers players lives on the field as well as off‚ the history of Odessa‚ and how a town comes together because of football. H.G Bissinger follows Permian in the 1988

In both "Friday Night Lights‚"by H. G. Bissinger‚ and "Quiet Strength‚" by Tony Dungy‚ their are two coaches who are very similar‚ yet very different in their own ways. In one coaches locker room you may find an aggressive‚ hostile written note. While in the other coaches locker room you’ll find bibles. Both coaches have a winning mentality‚ how they go about winning though is a different story. The quite‚ calm‚ and faith first mentality of one coach‚ verse the loud‚ aggressive‚ in your face way

Friday Night Lights reminds me of the movie‚ Remember The Titans. It started with the blacks hating whites and whites hating blacks. The didn’t want to play with each other‚ go to the same school.

Its funny when i can watch a movie and compare it to a piece of literature. When you can compare a movie to a book‚ it means they share the same philosophy. The only difference is the way one another is viewed. None the less‚ books and movies can still have a powerful meaning together.
