The main character in the book "Slam!" is a 17 year old kid who is playing basketball for his
high school basketball team. Greg's personality is someone who cares about most things but
doesn't show it out in public, its like he's trying to hide the soft side in him. For example when
he's at the park playing basketball with his friends he's all tough and doesn't care of what is
happening but when he is home he helps out his little brother sewing his school pants back
together before his mom gets home.
Greg has a flaw which is he's not doing good in school but he needs to get good grades so he
needs slow down with the basketball but its hard for him to do that because he loves to play
and for him to make it to the NBA he's going to have to practice a lot to improve his skills and
smarts.
Q: If you were in Greg's situation what would you do?
If I where Greg I would try to do better in school so I could get into a college or university that has a basketball team so i could play college basketball and if I were really good I might get drafted into the N.B.A
ReplyDeleteif i were Greg i would think for a long time to see what is more important, the chance to be in the NBA or to hold back on the basketball and focus more on my school grades and actually have a plan after school instead of relining on trying to get a scholarship that might not work out.
ReplyDeleteIf i were Greg i would do better in school because even if he doesn't get drafted he will still need high school to do anything else in his life.
