Significance
This book is important because it can help football players to become better at reading plays and also teach you a few things about competitive sports. I care about this book because I have never experienced the feeling the kid in the book has and this book gets me close to experiencing it.
Perspective
This authors experiences influence his ideas in a large variety, one was he used to play pro football and this book is all about football and pro players. I bring knowledge of football to the book that helps me understand better what they are talking about.
Evidence
There is no argument in this book except between his mom and him. But the problem was that the kid's dad left him and his family and he tries to substitute his real dad with a pro football player his mom works for, also he tries to out impress a bully at school.
Connections
This book connects to the real world because it has real things like bullies, evil football dads and divorced marriages. This book has been influenced by the past from all the new technology that football helmets have and that the players even wear any sort of padding.
Supposition
Life would not feel that much different if this really happened because this book does not effect my real life at all it is just about a kid who does crazy things. If I changed part of the problem the book would have been a lot more dull and not exciting because there were a lot of big problems in this book.

Al Capone Does My Shirts By Gennifer Choldenko
Significance
This work matters because it has very dangerous people and also some very loving people. The author is trying to say that anything can happen if you put your mind to it. I chose this book because I have been close to Alcatraz and was very interested when I went there. Well in this book the kid does a lot of things that could have a negative reflection like sneaking Al Capone a letter.
Perspective
Gennifer Choldenko wrote this in the time period of the baby boomers. Well if you don't know much about mentally retarded people then it might affect your interpretation of the book. This book would be very hard to explain to a third grader because it has things regarding mentally ill people.
Evidence
The author is not trying to argue anything but if he was, the topic would be that anything is possible. This author uses very descriptive words and is very good at panting a picture in my mind. This book doesn't have to be factual because it is not a non-fiction book.
Connection
There is no history to this event because it is not real. The knowledge from this book will help me when I ever don't believe in myself. This book will make me read more books about life and less books about peoples life because this book was kind of depressing.
Supposition
If this book took place in a different political system there wood be no alcatraz because all of the criminals would have been kill. If you changed one of the elements alcatraz would not be a prison because it would be on land. Life today wouldn't be any different if this never happened because it is fiction.

Eddie Would Go By Stuart Holmes
Significance
This piece of work is very valuable because it teaches the whole and very exiting life of Eddie Aikau. This book also teaches the reader many valuable hawaiin lessons about mahalo. This book also helps me with my surfing by learning how to charge big waves and to help me with correct moral choises.
Evidence
The arguement the author is trying to make is that eddie aiko had a very good moral and a very good sence of nationality to the hawaiian islands. The author is presenting very factual information I know this because my brother actually interviewed the author and he told us how he got all the facts. I'm looking at these facts in a non biased eye because I completly look up to eddie.
Connection
The knowledge that Eddie is talking about is very deep and almost always about his family or friends. This story would inspire me to learn more about eddie Aikau or more about the hawaiin history. This book talks so much about the north shore that I would like to learn more about it.
Supposition
I can base a prediction that no one will ever find eddies body. If eddie was alive in this time era he might not have died and if he did die we might have found his body. If there was never water in this story there would be no story because eddie is a water man. If these events never happened then big wave surfing would be in its earleist stages.
Perspective
This book was written about people in the 1960's-1980's. The author of this book must have had problems writing it because he had to interview Eddies family which must have had problems talking about eddies death.
