"Football" by Noah M



            One day there was a boy who was at football practice his name is John he didn’t play in any of the games but he hoped he would. So at practice that day the starting running back was running as another kid hit his leg. The starting running back was hurt as he laid on the floor with a broken leg. So after that occurred practice ended and John was going to get a chance in a couple of days to play in Sundays game. Sunday came around as John was as prepared as he could ever be. When the game started the first play John got the ball and ran it for a 50 yard touchdown. Later in that game he would score two more touchdowns. But as John was scoring touchdowns so was the other team. The score ended up being 21 to 21 with 5 seconds on the board with the ball on the 5 yard lane. Johns team had the ball everyone knew he was getting it as the quarterback said “hike” the play began. John got the ball and ran as there was a defensive player waiting to tackle him at the 2 yard line. John leaned his shoulder into the defensive player as they made contact. John had crossed the line and scored a touchdown as he won the game for his team.

I really like this story because I can relate to it I understand how it feels to be sitting on the bench while your teammates play but hey he was motivated and believed in himself and was able to score a win for his team.

This story got me to think. It made me think that just because we do not play doesn't mean we will never play. I like this story a lot because it kind of inspired me to never give on something.

This reminds me of the movie Friday Night Lights, when their star play, who is also a RB gets injured, and the team has to find a way to win without him. Very uplifting.

This was a good story because it can relate to lot of people who never play but hope to play some day. There a lot of good details and it was a good story overall. Good job Noah!

Nice! I personally don't know much about football and so I was slightly confused. I love how the main character had his own personality and showed emotions.

I really like this story because I can actually relate to it in present time. It reminds me that later on I might get a chance to prove myself on the football field like John did. This story was really good.

You use great examples of the literary device imagery by detailing your protagonist actions.

I really like this story because sometimes other people need a chance not like that but other kids should get a chance. I feel bad for the starting running back but I'm happy for the other player. I like football and I'm happy you wrote this. It was something you could picture in your head.
