The book shows that history Arnold Rampersad purpose of writing Jackie Robinson was to inform and give an enormous bibliography. Impact can come from how good he was but then also what he went through in life. It gives great thought towards audience. The book shows that history was made and it will work as long as you you provide the reason to make it happen by believing in what can be done. This book will have long lasting value because Jackie Robinson showed that he can do what it takes. Many people still talk about Jackie Robinson today.

The book is well written because it tells specific points in the book that ca show you that everything was really being identified in a way. The writing has a few words that people might have to look in order to understand what was going on. It gives a good content that shows that Robinson was able to accomplish something great. When explaining where he grew up, it is good for wanting to get involved with what was going on in his life. Robinson was "a hall of fame athlete and he was born in the rural south"(36). "He was the son of a sharecropper and himself was able to realize it at once"(63)

The book is captivating because it catches the eye of anyone who would take the time and read about what happened. It will show that there was history that made earlier in the years back in time. It would take interest because it also would tell that this sport is global in the united states and he made history off of baseball. Jackie had to deal with racism and poverty. That put an effect on his life, but he kept on moving in positive ways. The book was interesting because it tells a good message toward the audience. I wouldn't say it was boring because it shows persuasive in a way that people can make things happen.

The strength to this book is very informing. It may show ad tell that Jackie Robinson was influential on young american's. There were weak strengths when he had to deal with a racism. There would't really be detailed. I would recommend this book to various friends because the message would have a great connection toward life. What was going around that time was different from now can be a suggestion of why he should read they should read the book also. Jackie Robinson has positive situations going on. ...more "
