Jeremy’s readers journal number one
Dear Mrs. Zrihen,
I just finished reading a fictional book. This book "Crash" by Jerry Spinelli is stated, because by the end of the book it tells how everything is settled before his final football game. Also if would give it another title it would be “Crash the Awesome Football Player”, because its about practicing football and learning life lessons. It all started when Penn asks crash to his house for dinner, Crash challenges Penn and finds out that Crash beats Penn at everything. When Penn gets mad, Crash is nice enough to still come to his house. He sees some weird things in his home like Penn does not eat meat, and he had a toy wagon. When Crash goes to school as a seventh grader he realizes that in P.E they are practicing football, a sport that Crash really loves. As he was playing football he meets another friend named Mike. They were friends for a long time and they made fool of Penn of how he is a vegetarian and his toy is a wagon. The next day, Mike and Crash saw a girl who was part of the cheerleading team. When they came up to her the bell rang and it was time for class. After class the captain of the football team told the kids their teams, when Penn asked what team he’s in the captain says he’s a cheerleader because Mike told the coach that Penn wanted to be a cheerleader. Although Crash’s grandfather gave him advice to never give up and concentrate on the game Crash still got distracted and was involved in pranks against Penn. When Crash has his game Penn wanted to join the game instead, so when he went in Crash and Mike never realized how fast he was in football. When crash came home he was wondering what that smell was, because his mom and dad was at work, so when he went in the kitchen he saw that it was his grandfather “Scooter” his grandfather making dinner. Crash’s grandfather gave him advice about football. That night, Abby, Crash’s sister was telling Scooter about her wildlife in the backyard, because she has a mouse, and a squirrel in her backyard. In the morning, Crash had a football game ,when his grandfather told him advice about football, crash thought he was ready, but, when he was losing a little bit 20-22, he suddenly remembered the advice that his grandfather told him and it helped him beat the Hillside East 30-28. This was the climax and the resolution. When Mike was walking Crash home from school, his parents said congratulations we heard what happened on the news! The next morning when Crash was sleeping he heard a hammer going on, and it was Scooter, when he went to sleep he wondered why he no longer heard the hammer from Scooter, so when he looked outside he saw Scooter with the hammer on his head and he was not moving. The next day he had his final game, when his parents were there they wished him very good luck, so when he concentrated very hard he won the game!!!!!!The book is a cliffhanger. Also to work hard in what sport you are doing. The book is a factual detail because it tells facts like name, numbers, and other people. The essential message of the text is to always be ready, never get distracted by bad friends or you will fail. The cause and effect of the book is Crash meeting a new friend, and the effect is Crash insulting failing as a friend and player. The problem in the story was crash meeting Mike and because of that crash can’t really focus in football. The places were at school and home. The five important things in the article is always do good in a game never give up, always meet a nice friend, always welcome a guest over, never insult someone, and always treat a first friend in a nice way. The impact for the five text features means, to try hard, have a friend don’t be lonely, have a guest for dinner, never be mean to some one, and just always have a friend the way you want to be treated. The authors purpose and perspective was to entertain. The authors perspective is that he thinks that the problems in the story, that the characters should figure out a solution to make everything better. The author is objective. The significance of the book was when crash remembered what his grandpa said and took the advice. Also the mood was happy. The text features included bolded words, heading, titles and highlighted words. This helped me to have an idea on what the book was about and what were the important points. The protagonist was Crash ,the antagonist was Mike, and the foil was Mike. The setting was at school, the weather was sunny. The plot structure started meeting Penn, then going to dinner and finding out Penn as a vegetarian, then insulting Penn, after was the big game, last was winning. The main problem was being friends with Mike, and it was external because he had a problem with somebody else too, and it was character vs character because he could not stand him. The tone was happy because he won the game, the theme was football, the moral was deciding to either be friends with Penn or Mike. I rate the book 5 of 5 because my mood at the end was great due to his accomplishment.
Sincerely, your student Jeremy Kazieva
