Football Genius By Tim Green

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.
