Wide Recievers!

third book

My third independent reading book is Hatchet, i never got to read this book since in seventh grade i would be kicked out of english class all the time and this meant i was deprived of reading this book. I have heard great things about this book and i am excited to read it. I also heard that the child that get lost overcomes great challenges.

2nd Independent Reading book.

My second independent reading book was Only the Strong Survive: The Odyssey of Allen Iverson by Larry Platt and i found this book very interesting because it really showed me the secrets behind Allen Iverson's success and his triumph of the competition in the NBA. From a very young age Iverson was playing with kids five-six years older than him and he was still dominating them and dropping dimes. The book also went through the lows in Iverson's career and his jail time.

Allen Iverson and I

The character in my book is Allen Iverson, one strong connection between me and Allen is that he was told he was too light to play in the NBA, i was told i wasn't big enough to play football and keep up with the bigger players. Allen took that as a challenge, as so did I. At the beginning of summer I was third string running back, it looked as if I would not even see the field, as time progressed I kept working hard to move up but I just couldn't. The coach tried me at reciever and I got my shot. Allen was given his shot and right away he proved everyone wrong, and in just a few seasons he became MVP.

Kevin Durant

My favorite NBA player, Kevin "Durantula"
Since he was at texas for his one year college career.
He is such an inspiration to me and many others, he was always told he was too skinny and fragile for the NBA, but when he got drafted to the Seatle SuperSonics[now the Oklahoma City Thunder] he averaged 20 points as a rookie, his second season averaged 25 points, and now in the present he is the NBA's leading scorer, and may just one day be the MVP of the league.

Only the Strong Survive-

I chose to read this book because it is the story on how Allen Iverson, a 6'0 foot 165 pound man came to dominate in the NBA. Allen has had an amzing carreer and I wanted to learn more about how he became more than just an athlete, but an entertainer. The book has also mentioned how he has brought his own style into the NBA. 

My character has grown since he was a college he has learned how to take responsibility and how to get his priorities. When he was a new comer to the league his only concern was what he wanted and he'd have this mindset that he will get what he wants when he wants it. As he starts to grow, he sees that this mentality has him getting no where. Allen then starts to consider his teammates feelings and tries to understand what his teammates need from him. As be entered his fifth year he started changing his mindset and he was awarded MVP. That's as far as I read. That's how he's grown
