What is like to be on the court. That last second shot. The hero at the end of the game everyone cheering for you. The book "The Game" shows it. It can be stressful and at the same time great because if you take that last shot or be the hero and make a great defensive play you will feel like your number one. But what happens if you are not the hero? What if you are the opposite you are the one who gets fooled and looses the game. Anything can happen you just never know.
Many players have done stuff like that. Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Shaq, Walt Clyde Frazier, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Reggie Miller, Dr J Julius Erving, Michael Jordan, John Starks, The list goes on and on and it has happened to everyone. They have made the big shot but have been well the looser. It is a tough game to play. Your momentum and energy all at one is just a lot to handle. That is what makes the game tough.

You can defiantly get a feel about the book being all about basketball players. Just a suggestion that for a poem you might want to try and not use it in a paragraph form. Otherwise good job

ReplyDeleteIn your first stanza, try to think about your senses. When you are on the court, list the things you see, hear, smell, feel. Try not to write in full sentences.
In your second stanza, think about their emotions. I like the disappointment. What other emotions do they have?
This poem is neat. It can be something anyone can relate to apart from basketball. I like the first stanza because you go in an opposite direction on how life would be if you were the one that messed up the game instead of winning. I like the second one because you give speciifc names and they are popular names everyone knows. It flows like a list and has great meaning. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteYou can kind of tell your book is about sports but someone who doesnt know anything about sports would be totally lost. The first stanza makes you think a lot. good job.
