Greg+Hamilton

The most main character would be Reggie White. He is a strong man and he loves life and the game of football. A minor character is Reggies wife, she belives in everything her husband does. The books plot is Reggie making a life for himself in football and in God. I give this book a 5 rating. I would read __Barefoot.__ it sounds like a really good book. I do not like reading alot.

I am still reading __In The Trenches__ by Reggie White. I have been busy the last couple days so i have not been able to read that much. I have read 20 pages. But what I read in those 20 pages was pretty good. Reggie was talking about what he did when the players of the NFL were on strike back in 1987. He says that he would work out to keep in shape so that when the strike was over he would be ready to play. Some of his fellow team mates got other jobs so that they could keep money coming in. He also explains how important team work is in life and in the game of football. When his team played the Redskins they had way better stats then they diid but because they could not work as a team they lost the game. I am continuing to read __In The Trenches__ by Reggie White. This week i have read 40 pages. My favorite part of this reading was when Reggie was explaining how his coach made him stronger my being mean to him and wrestling him in from of the other kids. I like this part cause i can relate a little bit cause when one of my coaches knows that I can be better they are really hard on me and make me to extra work. __**March 24, 2011-**__ I'm now reading __In The Trenches__ by Reggie White. I can not remember where I got this book. I'm reading it though because I like to read the autobiographys of football players. So far in this book Reggie is telling how the '95-'96 season is going for the packers. His church back in his home was firebombed. When the packer fans found out the story about the church they started sending money to him to help re-build the church. During the season Reggie had a really bad hamstring injury. He thought that it would end his season and maybe even his career. The next game he sat out. He thought for sure that his season was over but then for some reason it just got way better and he was able top play in the play-off games of his biggest season of his career. I have finished the book __The Senior__ by Mike Flynt. Mike is the main character and he is also the author. He is 60 years old and he is looking at going back to his old college to see if he can go back to finish his senior year of football. Mike has a great personallity and work ethic but he has a really bad temper. Another one of the main characters would be MIkes's wife, Eileen. She is very supportive of MIke. She has faith in him and always stands by his side. A minor character would be Mike's father. Mikes father had a huge impact on MIkes life. He pushed mike to be bigger then he really was, physcaily and mentaly. Mikes father helped mike become the man he is today. A second minor character is Coach Mayfeild. He never really thought that mike would beable to play college football at the age of 60 but he honered Mikes wish to try out for the team. He never took it easy on Mike either he treated him just like any other player on his football team. The summary of this book is about how Mike gets kicked off of his college football team, and how his life was before and after he played football. The book tells how Mike was always a little kid but he could fight. He worked with his father to get stronger in the summer and then in high school went on to play varcity football. Because MIke was such a good fighter and had a tempor his how he got kicked off the football team in college. If i would have i give this book a rating it would give it 5 stars. It is so insperational and it is also a great story. As i was reading threw the blogs of my fellow class mates one book sounded really good to me. That book was City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. This blog was posted by Gunner Bice. Today I will blog about Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Well since last time i blogged about this book a lot of things have happened. George and Lennie have got to the ranch and they are having some problems with Curly the boss's son. He doesn't like Lennie because he is a bigger guy and he does not like bigger guys. When Lennie and Curly get into a fight Lennie ends up braking Curlys fist and that make Curly even more angry with Lennie. Lennie ends up talking to Curlys wife and she tells him to touch her hair and feel it. When he grabs her hair and holds on she screams and he puts her hand over her mouth and when she is moving around trying to get out he snaps her neck and kills her. Then Lennie runs off to the camp site and stays there. There is a mob looking for Lennie to kill him but George gets there he decides that it would be the righ choice to shot Lennie to take him out of his misery. The best part of this book was how John Steinbeck puts everything in to such detail. The worst part of the story is that it is a sad story.

__**January 27, 2011-**__ __Today I will blog about__ Of Mice and Men__ by John Steinbeck. I got this novel from my teacher and I haven't had time to find and start to read any other book. Two of the main characters are George and Lennie. George is a short guy and dark in the face. He has sharp round features and he wears denim clothing. George is in his 20's and he is easily frustrated with Lennie. Lennie is big with a shapeless face. Lennie is also in his 20's and he is mentally retarded. He thinks everything is funny and he is slow with somethings and doesn't understand others. George and Lennie's problem in the book is that they are trying to find a job. It is hard to find one and keep one because if Lennie. They are trying to get enough money to own some land with a small house on it. Lennie wants to have animals like rabbits and other farm animals. So far I don't like this book very much, but one thing i do like about it is how the author describes things to the reader. The reason why i don't like this book very much is because it is a bit boring to me.
