FEVER PITCH

INTERPRETING PAGES 15-20

in these five few pages of the unpleasantly 239 long pages of NICK HORNBY'S FEVER PITCH(at least to me, anyway),Mr. Hornby finds himself excited to have a new determining factor in his otherwise not-so-exhilerating life, as well as a new mode communication, especially with his rather estranged "fatha" which he himself,somewhere between hesitantly and with pleasure, concedes in his book.
in any case, this new "determining factor" and "mode of communication" we're alluding to is football(the one where you exclusively utilize and play with your two legs and contact with hands is forbidden?huh?)
but this new dimension in his life serves to undermine his already fragile life through "severe disappointments" that "threaten"... him with "permanent,depressive insanity",as he so wittingly puts it.
his love of the game backfires,SEVERELY, in the form of "constant betrayals" on the part of his father (because of the low passion he has for the game.)(to the contrary, the son is "obsessed" with the game,as he admittingly reveals in the book.)

I think the characters experiences cause the to grow because in my book there is a project that the girl Macey need to do. So, as usual she asks her grandparents a topic to choose from and when they don't have no suggestions for her, she asks about the fire that happened at the Devindorf's farm. (Lives a couple houses down from grandparents) They dont explain much to her but pleads with her to find another topic. As a teenager, she elects to stick with the topic and start doing some research about how the fire started. At the bonfires, she ask the neighbor what happened but she really can't give but a few details,

the outsiders 5

In the book the outsiders i have sympthy for ponyboy brother because he has alot of responbilty like taking care of ponyboy and supporting the family an that is alot of work for one child that can't even barely support hisself. The real reason i have sympathy for him is because he is envolved in a gang and it has gotten to his head which led him to being put in the hospital almost paralized which leaves who to take care of ponyboy and more and sympathy goes out to them to.

outsiders 4

The character ponyboy is motivation in the story is the fact that he lives in one of the worst nieboorhoods that has so much violence and things tht will bring him down. So ponyboy uses all these bad thing as an motivation to move out and achieve his life goals to better himself. ponyboy did reach his goals in the book by getting away and starting all over

Outsiders 3

In the story the outsiders there is a couple of characters that seem real and the character that i think can be real is the main character Ponyboy. I can compare him to an boy i know they both lead the same life my friend andrew mother died and follows the life of an gangster he does wild stuff just as ponyboy he robs stels and fights all the time . Youu can see why i compared these two together because the to of them are alwys up to no good and they both are willing to straightin out there lifes and ready to go down the right road and do right

My book is about a fifteen year old girl named Macey. She stays with her parents but you can say that she lives with her grandparents which stays a couple of miles down the road. She is a smart girl who participates in alot of after school activities. Her grandparents are caring and supportive in whatever she does and they want to see her succeed.

In my opinion, the characters in my story seem believable. The girl (Macey), sounds like a regular high school student who likes to participate in after school activities. Also her grandparents seem believable because they spend as much time with her as possible and help her out when she needs it. I can relate to the grandparents because what grandparents you know doesnt want to spend time with their grand-children? I can relate to the grandparents helping Macey because they have the knowledge and by passing this down to her is only going to benefit her in the long run.
