The Most Important Line

The most important line in my chapter is when coach Russel asked Jonas, "No plans for college?" Although this line is small it is the line the sets up everything that is going to happen in my book. I know this because when he asks that it leads him through the troubles which he has like telling his parents about college. It is also important because it sets up the plot for the rest of the book because now he will have to look for colleges and he will probably go through a series of adventures. If that line was never there then Jonas would have never thought about college, this would have made the whole story very boring. If that line was not there then most likely the story would have been him playing basketball in high school then working at a gravel factory, and that would have been boring.

Why I Chose to Read "Swagger"

I chose to read the book Swagger because when I first saw it seemed very interesting. When I first looked at the cover I saw a person playing basketball, I immediately got drawn in because I like basketball too. I could relate to it so I decided to pick it up. Right when I was going to check it out of the library I remembered the saying, "Never judge a book by it's cover." Thus I decided to read the first page. Once I read about the main character who was trying to get recruited by a college I immediately got drawn in. With the book being so realistic I could not help but think of me in his shoes. The book was so good that I couldn't put it down.
