IR #3

Q:8 How did what you read today make you feel? Why?
     It made me feel thankful for my life and parents. The main character Luke can't do any activity involving competeiveness like playing card, tag, tv, and baseball. For his free time he either does chores or does poetry.

Q:20 What in the book upsets you or bothers you? Why?
      It upsets me that Luke cant play baseball because of his fathers reliogn. He ends up choosing to go against his Fathers wishes but I think he shouldnt have to. It amazes me how times have changed and now we can choose to do almost anything without anyone telling us we cant. However what I cant image is that there are still restrictions like Luke has in several 3rd world countries.

Q:13 If you could change one thing in the book, what would it be? Why would you change it?
     Yes i would read another book. I really like this authors ideas and stories. I find them interesting and easy to relate to and when I finish this book look forward to reading another one.

Q:12 What do you think is the theme (author’s message) in this book?
    I think the message is never let anyone stop you from doing something you love. In this story Luke (the main character) wants to play baseball because he was given a godly gift of an amazing left arm. However his Father believes it is the devil arm and should never be used especially in a competitive activity that he shouldnt have been playing anyways.
