"Connecting Dots” is a poetry book. The reason I like this
book is because it is a book of poems about his life. He had lots of
pictures he loved, and he always wrote poems about his life. His life was very
difficult. His high school year was fun. He played basketball and always tried
the best he could. He would always shoot the ball and miss the basket, but he
never gave up. He kept going. He did not care who was in the crowd watching
him. All he was worried about was if he was getting somewhere in life.
The lesson he learned was that it's okay to miss the
basket but never put that down on yourself. People would always laugh at him,
but the lesson he learned was never to care what people thought about him.
After he was done with a basketball game, he was
surprised with a puppy, and his teammates were so proud of him. The teammates
told him to go outside right after the game, so he did. His coach was outside
and told him to close his eyes; when the coach told him to open his eyes and
when he did, his coach had a black and white dog for him.
After he did all of that, he went home and got
puppy love from his new puppy named Freckles.
I would recommend this book to people
who like basketball, and to those who believe they should never give up.
