Slam Week 8
So far in this book, things are getting very interesting. Slam is playing more and more games and they continue to win them. Slam also is having a better relationship with his teammates. Slam still does not start but he should be there soon. Slam is still facing a few problems though. He grandmother is still in the hospital and is very sick. Slam continues to visit with her and he tries to spend as much times as he possibly can with her. Also, his brother derek is trying to spend as much time with his grandmother that he can. Another problem that Slam is going through is the conflict with Mtisha. She found out the he had kissed another girl and that angered her big time. They are currently trying to work things out again to make things better between the two of them. Another problem that Slam is going through is that his grades are still suffering a little bit. He tries to get a tutor but his father doesn't like the idea for some weird reason. If Slam doesn't get things going again in school than he won't be able to play basketball which is one of the only things that he has and that he loves. A final problem that he is facing right now is that he is starting to believe that his best friend Ice is starting to deal. Slam does not like when he hears this at all and is in denial of it but he now thinks it may be true. Slam does not want Ice to do this because of how bright his future could be with basketball. This dealing could possibly ruin things for Ice and Slam has to do something about it so he doesn't have to see his best friend suffer or maybe even killed.

I like the choice of your novel nick. I read the book when i was younger but i can see now how interesting it was. Your book compares to mine in a few ways. Slams grandmother and a character from my book both go to the hospital and create a lot of tension in the story. I like how you showed the problems that the character faces and how he must overcome them in order to succeed. The book choice seems very interesting and i might want to read it again. I think that you could tell a little bit more detail on what happens when Slam goes through these changes and how Slam could deal with them in a better way. Otherwise you seem to have picked the right novel for you.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very interesting book Nick. I wonder if Slam realizes the importance of not only getting good grades but learning and being smarter to live in the future. Slam must overcome many problems in his life and after that his life will be perfect and nothing will ruin the time he will have. I think he should get a better relationship with his girl because you only meet one girl who is there for you forever and that could be Mtisha. Finally, if ice is starting to deal, I think that Slam should confront him and explain how he could ruin his life or possibly even end it by joining the drug deal game. Let me know how the rest of the book is, i am very interested to find out! Peace
