“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) This was the Bible verse Tim Tebow had written on his eye black for the Bowl Championship Series title game on January 8th, 2009 when the Florida Gators won 24-14. In Tim Tebow’s memoir, Through My Eyes: A Quarterback 's Journey, he gives great insight about his childhood and upbringing being a religious star college football quarterback. I took this position because it gave me a contrasting perspective on life, especially when I found out he had memorized various Bible quotes and how he interconnected them to everyday life. I would advocate the novel because it gives readers an encouraging story about how a religious Christian farmer …show more content…
When he lists all of the statistics, it made me feel overwhelmed. He threw many advanced statistics in the book as well. My suggestion to him would be to give less and simpler statistics. When he commemorates these games, it’s almost as if he was writing these events as they were happening. Some of the details are very well authored, but some of the other details are just too long and unnecessary. For example, he says, “We took a 7-0 lead, then they kicked a field goal. After scoring another touchdown, we were up 14-3.“. Personally, I think that he should not include every scoring play in each game he plays in. Based on the popularity of Tim Tebow, I would not think he wouldn’t have assumed that he had the time to write such a detailed book. I think this is a great book for people looking for an inspirational story about a religious farm boy who loves the game of football. Overall, from a reader 's point of view, I loved how it was written almost as if it was a journal. This is one of the most glorifying novels I have ever
Touchdown Alexander teaches how you can really teaches how you can accomplish anything through christ. It brings you through Shaun's whole football career and life, how he met his wife, when he got married, when he got drafted and when he broke records. An example is when Shaun told us how he had to leave right before a game to go help his wife go through childbirth. My likes about this book is how he really puts a lot of detail into the stories he tells.
Nevertheless, when I made the conclusion that it was football in play in the novel, it was fun to read
One reason why i like this book is because when he got injured he kept trying to succeed. I like that he kept trying to push himself when he got hurt because he always followed his dream and made it. The 12 year old name was Michael Arroyo and since he was young he loved baseball. Michael had a pitching arm so nice that it threw heat. Michael was from Cuba and its sad that he only has his 17 year old brother to take care of him.
The Author achieves its purpose because the book shows us what goes on before the game. It really shows how much work goes into a 60 min game. They also go through the effort to show how good of a team the patriots are, and how much different they are from everyone else in the
The book was very informative of life when racism was more apparent. I think that books like this show that standing up to racism is an option. It shows that even children of a younger age were involved in the situation.
I chose the life and career of Peyton Manning as my research paper. Peyton was born on March 24, 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana. His parents are the already football star Archie Manning and his wife Olivia Peyton. So, Peyton was already born with a football in his hand so to speak. He improved his skills as a football player early on by practicing with his brother’s, dad, and childhood friends at an early age.
My book Kid Owner by Tim Green is about a kid named Ryan who loves football. Ryan’s mom doesn’t agree with Ryan about football. Ryan wants to play football but Ryan’s mom wants him to keep playing soccer. Ryan’s never met his father and when Ryan’s father had passed away he had left Ryan the Dallas Cowboy’s. Ryan somehow has to find a way to keep the team.

Spreading faith and love to the people around him, Tim Tebow has made a powerful influence on many people who follow his work.
Another thing I really liked was the way they made the family characters of mom, dad, and Scott. But my favorite thing was the way that they developed Nick’s basketball skill throughout the story. There is a part in the story where somebody is shot by Zack (Trent’s brother) and Trent has to decide if he’s gonna go into running with him or stay for the big championship game with Nick. So I really enjoyed that part because it combined how much I like basketball and the excitement of whether or not Trent would stay or go. In the book it has dad only caring about Nick as much when he was a good basketball player, so I thought it was cool how they sort of betrayed him as a bad guy.
I rate this book a ten out of a ten because I love baseball and it taught me so much. Mike Lupica went down in detail about how much you should never give up and how if you see someone down pick them up because it is the right thing to do. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to learn a lesson, likes baseball or softball and someone he thinks they are a leader because it will teach you how to take control and lead a team of anything. This book can be read for grades 6 and up because anyone under will not understand. I just love how Mike wrote this
In Texas, football is a way of life; people eat, sleep and breathe it. Specifically for the people of Odessa, Texas this is very true. The book Friday Night Lights follows the 1988 Permian High School football team as they made their run for the State Championship. This type of culture that puts football and, everyone involved in it, on a pedestal creates no room for anything besides football to succeed in a town like Odessa. In 1988, when this took place, gender, class and race all mattered a great deal.
There were a lot of themes that I picked up. Kit was a very brave and courageous character and everyone had a lot of loyalty. In conclusion, I would recommend this book. I thought it was pretty
This made me rethink how I look at my life because this story of a triumphant young boy showed me that you can do whatever you want to no matter how much people doubt you. I like the way the author has written this heart wrenching yet
I take fantasy football seriously. I’m in multiple leagues, most with people I know some with people I don't. I spend hours each week researching what players may be destined to score more points than the players I currently have. I wake up early on Wednesday to see who is available on the waiver wire. I spend over 5 hours every Sunday just cheering on my players through the television.
His winning streak began in high school when he was a Senior. He had college and pro scouts coming out to look at him. He decided to go to University of Michigan. This is when his career took off and he won twenty of the twenty-five games that he started. After his college career, Tom Brady went on to join the New England Patriots and has won five super bowl rings.
