One of my favorite parts of this book is when junior is trying out for the basketball team. I liked how he never gave up when he kept on getting up to guard Rodger. coach kept on telling him "go again", 'line up again", "you can do it." That shows that he had people who believed in him and that gave him determination to never give up. so he did that even though he failed 3 out of the 4 times coach believed in him so coach put him on varsity as a freshman.

"Never give up"
"The only thing you kids are being taught is how to give up. Your friend Rowdy he's given up. Thats why he likes to hurt people. He wants them to feel as bad as he does."

Has anybody ever felt or seen anybody feel these emotions?
