How does the setting affect what is happening in the book?

The setting plays a very crucial part in the book Friday Night Lights.  The book takes place in Texas.  The high school football team is the most winning high school team in Texas History.  If this had taken place somewhere else in the country they might not have been the most winning team in there state.  I think that because they are the most winning team in the state that gives the players motivation to go out and try to win every game.  Also if they were in a different town maybe some of the bad things that happened to some of the characters would not have happened.

What does the dialogue tell me about the characters?

The dialogue in the book Friday Night Lights tells me that the characters in the book are very brave and the never back down when times get tough.  Most of the characters in this book are very determined and try to achieve their goals.  I really like the characters in this book.  This book has some of the best characters out of all of the books that I have read.

What is the authors message?

I believe that the authors message in the book Friday Night Lights is to never give up on your dreams.  No matter how tough things get never give up and to always try to achieve your goals.  This book teaches you how to be successful.  This book is great to read if you need motivation to achieve your goals.

What could I take away from todays reading to improve my life?

I learned a lot from todays reading of the book Friday Night Lights.  The characters in this book come from a small town which is similar to me.  Some tragic this happened to them in this book.  So I learned not to take a single day for granite.  I learned how good of a life that I have and how good of a town that I live in.  Any person can learn a lot from the book Friday Night Lights.

How do I feel at the end of the reading today?

I am about half way through the book Friday Night Lights.  It is a very good book so far.  I really like the plot and the setting.  The book is about a high school football team from West Texas.  They are the winning team in Texas history.  The team goes through their ups and their downs.  The team goes through some problems.  This book is very good and I enjoy reading it.  This book is probably one of the best books that I have ever read.

If I had to suggest this book to a friend, what would i say that it is mostely about?

If I had to suggest this book to a friend I would say that the book that I am currently reading is about the life of Hall of Fame pitcher Red Faber.  It tells the story of how he grew up and how he came to love the game of baseball.  He played most of his career with the Chicago White Sox and he won a World Series with them.  He pitched game six of the 1917 World Series which was the last game.  So he closed out the 1917 World Series.  Red Faber was famous for throwing a pitch called the "spitball."  People say that he was feared by every batsman.

What is one small detail that, if changed, might change the outcome of the story?

One small detail that, if changed, might change the outcome of the story is Red Faber playing for the Chicago White Sox.  His career could have gone completely different if he had played for a different team.  Maybe he would have done better or maybe he would have done worse. I think that this detail would change the story.

If i was stranded on a desert island, wich character would I want with me?

So right now I am reading a biography of the Hall of Fame baseball player Red Faber.  He was a pitcher who played most of his career with the Chicago White Sox.  I would chose him to be with me on the desert island because it says in the book that some of his hobbies when he was growing up were hunting and fishing.  If I'm stranded on the island I would need a way to get food.  I like fishing but I am not that big of a hunter.  That would be were Red Faber would come in.  He could hunt for our food.  I think that Red Faber would be a good person to be stranded with on a desert island.  So I would chose him.
