Character Change

                  I have been reading the book Football Hero by Tim Green. Football Hero is the sequel to Football Genius, the first book of the series. Football Hero is a great book. It is about an orphan named Ty who has a passion for football. His brother, "Tiger" is an all time football star who gets paid for playing football. Ty looks up to his brother and hopes to become a football legend.
                 But, his aunt and uncle, (his guardians) don't want him too. They don't have faith in Ty. They don't believe he has what it takes to become a legend of the NFL. Over time, there have been many character changes . Ty has changed from a wimpy boy to a man. For example, his uncle didn't want Ty to play football, so when it was Ty's 14 birthday, his uncle gave Ty his work papers. His uncle wanted him to work for money because they were poor already, but Ty believed he could make it in the NFL. I also see changes in his football work. He became faster and smarter, this also a change from a boy with silly plays, to a young man with strategic planned out plays.
                Overall, this book is a great book. I can't wait to finish Football Hero to move onto the next book. Although I haven't finished the book, I hope Ty makes it to the NFL. I wish to see Ty as a more mature young man in a few chapters or in future books!
