Passion Of Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods, Bill Gutman
Pg 1-32

The novel start by recognizing that all superior athletes are the ones who stay on top of their sport. The super stars are those who are recognized as the best talent of their team. The super stars are those who cannot amount to the qualification of a legend. superstars who are presented to the world every day but legends are like rare diamonds being discovered and describe as undefinable. So the novel began to explain the natural talent and a legend in his sport(golf), Tiger Woods. They described him as the armageddon of golf, the man who has rewritten the rules and fundamentals of golf.

Impression of the book

As I began to read the novel of an bibliograghy of Tiger Woods, curiosity and questions began to ponder my mind as my interest of this athlete grew. My interest of Tiger Woods was always little but I always wanted to know why he is so passionate about golf. So as I continued to read the author used strong quotes that drive, explain, and describe athletes that are dominant in their sport. Those quotes helped me to view sports in a different perspective. By becoming moved and curious the novel made a good impression like a boyfriend meeting the parents of his girlfriend.

Sports Memoir

We chose to pick sports memoir because everyone in the group enjoys the same sports and have interest in the same sports. We feel as though that as a society and as teens that everyone have some type of interest and passion for a certain sport. We believe that people watch sports because its a rush that build them up and its a feeling that either make you feel good or mad.

Mike, you've got to elaborate.  What things were in the book that weren't in the movie.  Crucial details man.  Really like the setting response but it was still a bit short.  111 words.  You need at least 175.

Brian - 3/5 Responses.
Glad we finally have you on board.  Your responses are pretty decent.  I like both actually, but try to proofread and stick to one point.  Your 2nd response rambles after your discussion of setting.

Larry - 4/5 Responses
Larry, regarding the conflict response, what do you think?  You've brought up a point, provided examples, but never quite comment.  In the setting response you start to comment then abandon ship.  Expand on your thoughts.  The character response is probably your strongest.

I like that response.  It's personal, it's developed, and you raise good points.  Make more.  You're now on my suspicious persons list.  2/5 reponses.  C'mon. 

Lorenzo - 2/5 Responses
Renzo, you finished this book in the first week.  You proceeded to write two responses.  That is definitely not a recipe for success, lol.  The one response you did write was way too much plot.  You're overworking yourself.  Stick to the question.  How does the character change?  I don't think you ever got around to that point.  (BTW, you're sitting next to Leugim on the suspicious list.)
