IF YOU'RE READING THIS- Trent Reedy

Summary
So far in my book Mike is now in the football team. Joining the football team has changed his life. All the girls stare and say hi when he walks down the hallway. All the guys talk him. He is really popular. The team doesn't go easy on him. They make him stay extra 15 minutes after practice because he started he got in the team so late. Mike gets another letter waiting for him in his bedroom. Mike doesn't tell his mom or sister because he doesn't want them to be sad. Mike's dad tells him to be happy and if he really likes a girl go after her. Mike likes this girl named Isma. She is in history class with him and there both doing a project together. The boys have a big dinner party and a local restaurant before their big game against the trojans. The owner of the restaurant talks to Mike and feels sorry for his father's death. How does he know that today is the anniversary of his fathers death?
Could this be the guy thats sending all the letters?

Character Analysis
I think Mike is really perseverant because he won't give up on the football team. In the text it says that some of his teammates make him do suicides until he pukes. This shows that Mike really does want to be in the football team and he won't give up and quit even though his teammates don't want him. Also he helps out his family by working. He helps them even doe his dad is gone.

  1. Victor, this is a good blog. But you can still go farther. Give a direct quote as well as paraphrasing. Also, "even doe" is not a phrase. You mean "even though".
