The next day jerry came to chop some wood‚ as he usually did‚ but today was his last time working for me for the next day‚ I was going to head to Florida. Maybe he wasn’t lying‚ maybe he saw me as a mother figure. I couldn’t just leave him here

Since today is a freewrite‚ I’m going to be entirely honest and say that I read the entire book the first night that we had it. I know that probably messed up my reactions to all the journal prompts‚ but today I want to write specifically about Mitch. Mitch in general just seemed incredibly insincere to me.

He uses words that pop in every line and they create vivid pictures of all these different moves I’ve personally seen “Magic” perform. He talks about “magic’s” deadly no look pass‚ his glorious sky hook‚ how he glides through the air‚ and all of this shows just how beautiful the game of basketball is‚ and just how much Troupe admires it. My belief is that Troupe thinks of basketball in rhythm
