Literature Circles Reading Response A

Hello Everyone
This is a reading response for section A
The book is black and white

 

• Copy down a quote from a character and explain why you think it's meaningful. What does it suggest about this character's personality? Personal qualities? Etc. Explain your thinking.

Steve: ''I guess your right.So, what do you think about the team''?
Tom from the little I've seen there really isn't much to say''
Steve:Go easy on them Tom.Its school basketball. Think about the guys on  the boys team. There really aren't more than five or six guys who can really play ball.''
Tom: Maybe not, but at least there are five or six'' , i said. That's not happening here.
  (Passage from page 6)

 

• What were your feelings and first impressions after reading the opening chapters of this book? Explain

From reading this long passage I can tell that Tom is the type of person that has high expectations. Although he is a fanominal basketball player he believes that everyone else is either good or bad. He is probably saying this because he does not want to be there or that's just the way he is.

 

  When I read the first couple of pages said to myself '' Oh my god what have gotten myself into, this book is so boring'' but after continued to read realized it was a really good book and it has a very important meaning to it.
