Hello once more Solonites. I am still reading Any Given Sunday by Robert Huizenga. I have read to chapter 15 and it has been very interesting.
Well, a lot of things have happened since my last post. The medical staff finds that legend QB Cap Rooney is probably out for the season, but could be back for the playoffs if the team even makes it. The team is pretty discouraged heading into the next game, and finds it even worse when they head into halftime down by twenty-one. Coach D'amato decides to replace the struggling Tyler Cherrubini with Willie Beamen, who had some good plays the game before. Beamen plays amazing and gets the team back in the game. The coach calls a running play Beamen disagrees with, and the Sharks lose yards on it. Beamen proceeds on the following possesion to change a play, to a successful play that gains a first down. Coach D'amato is furious. Beamen continues to play well until the final possesion when the Sharks are down four with two minutes left. Beamen again changes D'amato's play to a pass, which scores the game winning touchdown. D'amato screams at Beamen, who is oblivious to his harassment. The Sharks win and Beamen looks like a hero. Julian Washington, the teams star running back, however, complains to the coach about the lack of run plays called. This leads to a big argument between him and offensive coordinator, Coach Crozier, who liked Willie Beamen's style of play rather than the plays D'amato wanted Crozier to use. D'amato eventually breaks up the argument, and the team proceeds to the after party. Team owner, Christina Magniacci, is in attendance as well as the mayor. It is revealed that Magniacci wants to move the team if they do not get more money from the city of Miami. Meanwhile, to the dismay of his girlfriend of five years, Willie, very conceited, does not introduce her to any celebrities or people he meets, and generally ignoring her. They get in a big fight at their apartment, where Willie calls her a gold digger and she calls him some names that I will not say because I go to church. This argument and break up shows how conceited Willie is.
The next game will clinch a playoff spot for the Sharks. Their opponent, the LA Knights, are a very good team however. Beamen again plays well but is starting to get on the nerves of his teammates as he calls more and more pass plays. The game is close, but it looks like the Knights have it with forty-five seconds left and the Sharks on their own twenty yard line. Beamen must throw a hail marry. The pass is perfect and hits the receiver about seventy yards downfield, who runs in for a touchdown. Willie Beamen looks like Tim Tebow mixed with Jeremy Lin, as far as a big deal. He is told to arrive at coach D'amato's house after the game. The two talk before the conversation becomes heated when D'amato brings up the changing of the plays. He tells Beamen he will never be a legend like Lombardi and other stars if he doesn't become a team player. He then reveals that Cap Rooney will be back and starting by playoff time. Beamen then gets very angry and accuses D'amato of being racist and a sellout. The two start a yelling match that ends in Beamen storming out. That night, at the party, the angry Beamen, talking to Julian Washington, says that the reason the game had to be so close was because the defense didn't do their job and if they did they would be one of the best teams in the IFL. Washington defends the defense, to which Beamen accuses him of only playing for himself and reveals that Washington has a one million dollar paycheck as well as advertisement campaign with Reebok waiting if he got a thousand yards in the season. This makes Washington so mad, he tells Defense captain Luther "Shark" Lavay about Willie's defense comment. Shark is so furious, he gets a chainsaw and literally cuts Beamens Jeep in half. The Jeep is symbolism, as the team has been cut in half, as there is lots of hatred. That is where i stopped reading.
I think that this book is very good, as it is an underdog story, and I tend to like conceited characters because the ones that just keep to themselves are boring. So far, this has been a very good book.
I think the author wrote this to show that what the public sees is often different than reality. Willie Beamen seems like a hero and a great guy in the public eye, but his teammates hate.
The theme is everything is not what it seems. A seemingly heroic player who is hated by his teammates, a successful team that is actually falling apart, all support this theme.
My favorite character is Willie Beamen. He is very cocky, but he is very cool. He took a team from bad to great. He is portrayed as a somewhat villain, but he always says what he thinks, he doesn't try to make things look better just so people would like him, he says the truth, or his version of it.
My favorite quotation is from Willie Beamen when talking with Coach D'amato. The coach says he will never be a Lombardi or a Sammie Ball or Dan Marino. Beamen then says, " You know, when I look at those pictures on the wall it just makes me sad. It's like a room full of ghosts. When I'm done with the game or the game's done with me, I want to be more than just a picture on a wall. I want to be more than that." It is definatly a great quote.
A few questions I have is how will the Beamen vs. Rooney starting battle work out and can the team overcome this adversity.

Kolby Melsha blog 3 quarter 2
I just finished Around the World in Eighty Days, by Jules Verne. Last blog they were on a train heading to Omaha. On the way though they were attacked by some Indians and it caused a massive fight. Two of them were taken as prisoners. So Phileas Fogg and some volunteers go out to rescue them. As they are in search for the prisoners the train restarts and leaves without them. This makes it so they won't be able to make it back to London in time. Then this man has a home-made vehicle that can travel across the plains and in a straight line to Omaha where they may meet the train going to New York. When they made it to New York they had just missed the train by thirty minutes. So then Mr. Fogg finds a freight who is accepting them to travel to England. On the trip then Mr. Fogg takes control of the ship and heads towards his destination instead. When they reach English territory Detective Fix arrests Phileas. Then while sitting in his jail cell Fix tells him he can go because the real thief was already arrested while they were traveling around the world. When they reached London they were five minutes late. This puts Mr. Fogg into a a deep depression. Then as Passepartout is looking for a priest to marry Aouda and Phileas he realizes that they had gained a day because they had traveled around the world. He then won the bet and the prize money and married Aouda.
I really liked the book because it picked-up the whole book. My favorite part is when they realized that they had actually made it all the way around the world in seventy-nine days, but were at home the whole day before they realized it. I think the reason that Jules Verne wrote this book is to so how being calm and patient can always have benefits. Like how Phileas was always calm and he was side tracked a lot, but instead of making rash decisions that could have jeopardize his mission. A theme in this book could be the advancement of travel technology. Like how they have come from a horse and buggies to trains and steam boats.
My favorite character in the book is Phileas Fogg because he is always so calm and patient. I really did not think any of the quotes are good.

I am reading the book Ethan Frome. This book is written by Edith Wharton. I am on chapter seven. So far in the book the reader has met the three main characters: Ethan, Zeena, and Mattie. Ethan and Zeena are a married couple living on a farm in Starkfield Massachusetts. Mattie is Zeena's cousin living with them to do the housework that Zeena can't do because she is very sick. During her stay Ethan and Mattie discover they have chemistry between them. Neither of them can express their feelings because Ethan is an older married man and Mattie is Zeena's younger cousin. When Zeenas heath gets worse she decides to travel into a larger town and see a doctor. This is the first time Mattie and Ethan will be alone for a night. They have a nice dinner and normal conversation during the evening. Nothing happens between the two because they both know it would be wrong. When Zeena returns home she says the doctors orders were to get a hired girl so that Zeena doesn't have to do a thing around the house. They both know they can't afford to keep both girls so Mattie has to go. Ethan, of course, does not want Mattie to leave and tries his best to keep her around.
I didn't like this book at first, but now I enjoy reading this book. Its different and unique making it interesting to read. There is some suspense which makes the reader want to keep reading to see what is going to happen. I think the author wrote this book because she enjoyed telling a story of hidden love and romance. The theme of this book is happenstance. Ethan and his wife, Zeena, got married when Ethan's mother died and Zeena was to take care of the housework. They got along fine, but it was more so a marriage of coincidence and not because they loved each other. A quote that went along with this idea is: "I'm obliged to you, but I guess I'll go along back." This is like what happened to Zeena and Ethan. When Zeena was living with Ethan and his mother, caring for her because she was very sick, Ethan and Zeena knew it was right thing to get married when Ethan's mother passed. I think the best character is Ethan. He is struggling with balancing his duty to his wife and his love for Mattie. He does his best to have things remain normal, but he eventually lets his feelings get the best of him. As readers we see how he deals with the problems he is facing. I have no questions about my book.

Blog post #3- The Last Song- Reed McCarty
I have now finished reading The Last Song! I absolutley loved it! I recommend anyone to read it. Nicholas Sparks is an amazing author.
I had last stopped at chapter 20, which was as far as I had read last time. After the whole wedding incident, Will couldn't take anymore of Marcus's crap..so Will drove down to the beach with Ronnie, very furious at the time. He walked down to the beach where him and his buddy's were drinking. Will goes after Marcus and one by one he knocks them all to the ground. Ronnie now, did not want to see that, she was taken back by the way Will fought them.
A couple days passed and Ronnie and Will had became closer, but soon summer was ending. And eventually they'd be going their own seperate ways. With Will going off to Vanderbilt, which is in Tennessee and Ronnie, heading back to New York to attend Julliard. Will promised her they will never seperate, and always try to be and stay together. Things might change but they'll always be with one and other.
Behind Ronnies house, which is on the beach, there's a turtle nest which she and Will have been watching over. The turtles are finally starting to hatch and they soon will be off into the world!
Ronnies father, who has some very bad health problems has started to get weaker, and you can tell by the way he coughs. She needs to help him and spend as much time as she can with him. The doctor told him he won't have much time left and she's worried because after so many years this summer was the first she's talked to him in a long time. Each and every day he becomes weaker.
The days are getting shorter and so is the summer coming to an end, and Will and Ronnie are starting to face the reality that things won't be easy between them. As weeks pass, Will starts packing up his things. While Ronnie stays close to her dad.
The time has come when Steve is at the end..he's became so weak he can barely do anything at all. Ronnie's feeling more and more depressed and with Will leaving things won't be any easier. One day Steve was sitting out on the porch in his rocking chair...Ronnie was getting him some lemonade, she came back out and he had died right then and there. It was so tradgic and she didn't know what else to do except cry her heart out. Will had already left, and Ronnie was without him. They had started losing a connection and finally lost hope. Will and her will never be together.
Her fathers funeral was coming up, it was being held at the church, the same church that the stain glassed window was being installed at. Ronnie decided in memory of him that she play a peice of his music. Suprisingly when it ended and they were gathering outside the church, she spotted Will. She stared at him, and he starred back at her hoping she'd come back to him. Ronnie started tearing up, and she ran into Will's arms. He hugged her and held her so tight he didn't want to let her go. He missed her, and loved her. And so did she.
I loved this book sooooo much! There's so much going on and I love the romance between Will and Ronnie.
I think one reason why he wrote this book is to show how love is blinding, and relationships aren't always the easiest. He knows how to pull the reader in and make you want more. Their very inspiring and realistic.
One thing Nicholas Sparks probably wanted you to take away from the book is that sometimes you can be betrayed, hurt and often lied too. Having something special to you is important, and you should always take that for granted. The main theme though is forgiveness, always forgive cause you never know when you will see them again.
Personally I still think Will is the best character, Ronnie should be very lucky to have him. He has a big heart and a great personality. He's the type of guy and girl would die to be with.
"Life, he realized, was much like a song." This is meaning that in the beginning there is a mystery, in the end there is comfirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worth while.

The Last Song By Reed McCarty Blog Post #2
I am still reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. He is known for his romantic-love books. I love reading his books.
I had read from chapter 9 too chapter 20, and a lot has happened in between. Jonah, her brother, and her dad Steve have still been working on their stain glassed window for the new built church they attend. Her dad's health hasn't been very good over the years and he gets tired easily, so for Jonah to be very young and energetic it's hard for him to keep up with him! But he does his best.
Blaze, who is Ronnies so called "friend," got her in trouble by stealing Cd's from a store, but it turns out Marcus ( Blazes boyfriend) told her to do that to get Ronnie in trouble. Because Marcus likes Ronnie but she doesn't like him back cause she has Will. So Blaze puts those Cd's in her bag and Ronnie gets caught and has to go to court and stuff. She ends up getting out of that mess and Blaze was not accused either.
A big event comes up! Will's sister is getting married. And will invited Ronnie to come with him. Now, Will's mom doesn't really like Ronnie and thinks she's not the right girl for Will, but he really loves her so he wants her too come. And Ronnie does go, but the wedding doesn't end up like it should. Marcus shows up. He's wanting to cause and stir up trouble (him and Will don't get along), when Will and Ronnie are walking around out by the docks of the back of his house (where the wedding is being held) Marcus comes up to them and sleazily talks to them. He's up to no good as they can tell. In the end he ends up pulling the strings to the tent which comes crashing down on the whole wedding party and guests. This doesn't settle well with Will's mom, and she blames it on Ronnie. She has his dad drive her home, and she told Will's dad to tell him that she doesn't want to see Will anymore and their done.
The next day, Ronnie gets a visit from Will's sister. She came by to tell Ronnie how upset and depressed he has been lately. He has a big Volleyball tournament today with Scott and they need to make it to the finals, and he's not been on his A-game. His sister asks her if she really truly loves Will, and she of course said yes. She's convinced that she needs Will and he needs her so she goes down to the Volleyball tournament to see him. Except Will isn't so stoked to see her, he turns away, but she runs up to him and gives him a big hug and kiss and tells him that she loves him with all her heart. And to play his very best today, and that she'll be watching.
Will does GREAT the rest of the day, until something takes a turn for the worse. At the dock Marcus and her are there playing with fireballs and he purposefully puts gasoline on her shirt so that she gets caught on fire. Will rushes to the occasion and takes her to the hospital with Ronnie. They wait for a response from the doctors, they said she will be okay just some severe burns.
I am lovvvinnggg the book still! I can't stop reading it! There's so much going on and I love the romance between Will and Ronnie.

"He pulled her close and kissed her beneath a blanket of stars, wondering how on earth he'd been lucky enough to find her."- I like this quote, because you can really tell how in to Ronnie, Will is. And he said he wondered how on earth he'd been lucky enough to find her....obviously saying that Will is more than in love with her.
I have no other questions about the book! I love it!

And he said he wondered how on earth he'd been lucky enough to find her....obviously saying that Will is more than in love with her.
I have no other questions about the book! I love it!
