Center feild

In my independent reading book, Center field by Robert Lipsyte, a lot is going on in Mikes life. It says, “The air was damp with beer and sweat, and sweet with pot.” Mike got initiated to teak captain in his friends basement. This is when Mike is at a party that he didn't want to go to until he found out he was soon to be captain. Mike is in big trouble with Kat, his new crush. "Im captain because the think i ratted out the cyber-club." She believes that he ratted out the cyberclub and that he was just trying to get them in trouble. I don't think that she believes that he is behind it. Mike isn't sure how they got ratted out and he is pleading his case. He wants to have a good reputation with Kat. "Mike lowered his voice. 'Lets bring him down.'" Mike wants to put his coach in jail. This is because he believes that the coach stole an identity and is trying to bring him down. He does not find this ok because he kicked a team member off the team because he wanted justice on the team. This is what has been going on in my book, Center Field by Robert Lipsyte.

why good people do bad things

In my book, Center Field, Mike is usually a good person but then a nerd named Alex got on his nerves and they got in a fight. Alex got suspended and might be kicked off his varsity baseball team. He made a bad decision but it doesn’t make him a bad person. He has to do community service and might miss the first game. He is also fighting for center field and from his decision, might not get it. Clearly, the moral of this story is to think about the consequences of your action before you do that action.

My independant reading book

Have you ever imagined being a starter on a varsity team and then being kicked out of your spot by a freshmen? That is what Center Field by Robert Lipsyte is all about. Mike, a junior, thinks he has his junior year under control. He was a starter last year in center field and has a girlfriend. Then a new kid comes in playing the same position as Mike.

He gets in a fight at school, he has fights with his girlfriend, and his grades start dropping. will he be able to get his life under control or will he lose to a freshman? You will have to read it to find out.
