Independent Reading Journal #3

              My suspicion of the trophy rooms fourth wall and Mick’s coaches ‘dislike’ for his father has been answered. Mick began to get suspicious of his father’s football career as well. He made the decision to Google his father.  It turns out that Mick’s father didn’t last very long in the NFL.  He had a bad attitude and lacked work ethic. This is when Mick starts to put the puzzle together. His father was never injured; he was just a troubled kid. He lacked discipline. Mick realizes that the fourth wall was never supposed to be for him. The wall was supposed to be for his father’s NFL career. 
                As much as Mick was hurt by his father’s lie, I believe that it only helped him to know the truth.  Mick was starting to act out at practices, just as his father did. He thought he was better than everyone else.  This research on his father is only going to make Mick stronger.  He starts giving 110 percent at practices, and following all the rules. He wanted to work the hardest, and get the farthest. His next goal was to make the varsity football team, and to prove everyone wrong about him, and his father.
