My First Post




My first impression of the book was that it would be about a football player and that something popped that changed his life and that person was never the same again. What i read so far is that there is a boy named Marcus Jordan who was killed on his motorcycle. Marcus plays football and he is not afraid of anything. He can take a hit and continue playing without feeling any pain. He will never back down, will never quite, and he will always give it his all and won’t stop until the job is done. He gives everything he does 110% and won’t stop until he feels like he has won.  Marcus happens to be one of my favorite characters in the book so far. He is someone who never runs from a problem, even if the problem is too big for him to handle. I think what will happen is one day when he doesn’t run away from a problem, than he will get really hurt. I think that because he doesn’t turn away from this problem and gets hurt because of it then it will change his attitude completely. I also think that this will then teach him a lesson that he should sometimes walk away from certain situations that he faces in the book.
