Blog 8 "Heat" 4th Qrt.

So later in the story Michael was chosen to join a little league baseball. He played a full game and got over 50 pitches. Michael was the pitcher for the New York Yankees. Michael was such a good thrower. Some say that he had a hand of a god due to his throwing. Michael won multiple games and was recognized in his family and his father told him that he can do it. Most people would think that he is just some 12-year-old kid. But he had an arm of the professionals.

I think the theme of this story is "Don't give up on your dreams." Because Michael thought he was just an ordinary kid and just had a good talent. His dad and his friend plus his brother gave him influence or motivation to keep trying. For example in the story on page 60 it states, "You can do it..just a little motivation." This proves that people tell Michael that he can do it.

So later in the book Michael tells he escaped or ran away from Cuba where he came from. Michael tries to forget all that happened. As well he tries to sign up for baseball and become part of the little league. Carlos, his older brother, gives him motivation to do what he likes or wants to do in life. Michael chooses baseball. Michael has never had a crush until one day he seen a gorgeous girl named Ellie. He tries his best to get with her but fails at the same time.

I have a connection to this book because I loved baseball all my life. Its what I want to do in my life and go places or national. Michael does too, but, there are many cons. Such as, no birth certificate, young, orphan, and not in school. The only pro that I know can happen is that he can believe in himself and could do it. So that is my connection. Michael, although, may not have everything but has faith that he can be something with motivation to do it.

"The heat" 6th blog

The book I am reading now is "Heat" so far I am introduced to a character named Michael. In the beginning a fast runner was running away from a girl. He had stole a woman's purse. The book is in 3rd person because it explains the surrounding or setting. And after someone speak cause after someone says something it doesn't say "I said". So the runner got hit in the back of the head by Michael and was caught by the police.

I predict later that Michael will be drafted into a professional base-ball league. Why is say this is because on page 6, "...you will make it to the world series, like the brothers Hernandez did." This proves that Michael will possibly get drafted or better. So that is my prediction for this book. So then I will have to wait to see what will happen next in this book.
