A Piece of My Life
Have you ever had to lie so
you didn’t get yelled at? Did you ever get made fun of? I know, I’ve had and
done those thing and they aren’t fun.
For Ty Lewis it is life for him every day. The main theme is
determination in Football Hero.
Reason one for determination
is because The stuff Ty goes through around in school and football. The reason
of determination is because Ty doesn’t let people really get to him. Like if
someone makes a comment on what he is wearing or what he does he brushes it off
and forgets about it.
Second reason for
determination is getting made fun of for the job he has for his uncles cleaning
business. But when he started playing football it got a lot worse. People
started calling him names like, toilet boy and all the bad things you could
think of. Ty’s enemy Calvin West started the name calling when he saw Ty at one
of his jobs cleaning the toilets. Ty’s brother, Thane was picking Ty up from
practice one day and saw that Calvin was cheep shooting Ty and Thane was sick
of it.
So Thane showed Ty same
tricks that thane used on players he hated. One day at practice Ty put on those
tricks and taught Calvin a lesson no not to mess with him ever again. Ty has
determined to show his teammates that he deserved to be there. Ty was there to
show them that he is one of them but even better than all of his teammates.
I can relate to this book
because a lot of those things happened to me. Things started happening when I
switched schools in 3rd grade. There were name calling and physical
stuff started happening. Then when I started playing football people started
saying I wouldn’t get anywhere, that I suck, and all that stuff. But I prove
myself more than anyone now.
