In my book Angela Ashes there family is put thought tough times and many people can not relate to this. Most families get a long for the most part but no for Angela her dad is an Alcoholic and she sis confused and put thought a lot people might think that o yeah I’ve heard of stories but do you really know the pain and suffering some family go thought it not the life style they want or any one In the world wants but that’s what god put in front Angela. Take my life for example I go to school get through each day go home and eat sleep repeat it seems like but some family that’s not it there could be drug or alcoholic problems and I am vary great full that I’m don’t experience those things I couldn’t even think of that happening to me I don’t know what I would even do but in Angela Ashes her dad is an Alcoholic and I’m not going to give away the book but she faces hard times. Once I got into the book I finally I started to think how the different verities of family go thought out the U.S and I never thought it could happen but it does and I think if you don’t get help or talk it out then you’re never going to get out of this problem but if you don’t have a friend to talk to then how are you suppose to get thought the day if your just bunching up your feelings and not expressing your self you cant so you need a friend to talk to or your just put more and more stress on your self and kill your body inside so this is what I think of my book and I think it was a good book and I know Ms. Tholen this is not what most kids did for a blog but this is what I came up is by come paring my and other families life’s to this book.

Quote : "The Cadence"

As practice goes on rick is starting to have a little problem with the cadence and with the center even thought it is the frist practice the should be able to get that down and know problem with that. But if you dont have good comunication then the whole team gets messed up and then you start playing the blame game then you really dont get any were and you start right back up were you were at the begning of the season so he wants to get that out of the way so there is no mix up so every thing in a game goes smoothly and nothing to bad happens and you can move on too the next thing. So there just going to have to keep plugging with it and get it straight with no mix up or there going to have to find a new QB or a new center that will not mix up thing and will learn quick and get the team off to a good start and now a bad one were nobody wants to be in.

Quote: "Says the team was unable to find a decent quarterback in the off-season so we're screwed again."

I just don’t see why that the team isn’t letting Rick try at the quarterback position spot. Sure there past quarterbacks have been bad but there is always time for change. Rick I think in my own view has plenty experience at that post it’s that he can’t catch a break. I have a good feeling that Rick is going to vary well for the Italian team. Maybe the team can have it own pinion on what they think but people can’t judge a book by its cover so why judge Rick by the past QB’s they couldn’t because I’m sure that some people have looked at some one in there life and said to them self’s and o he doesn’t look so good just be there appearance and who knows that person could turn out really good. There fore I’m saying don’t judge people on the look or past experiences but look at what they can do to help out now find there strengths and put them to good use that’s what I would to help out Rick if I was one of his teammates because if you have a quarterback that can lead a team then the teammates can rely on him to bring them up when down.
