My book is told from the point of view of 1st person. I can get a better analysis of what the characters are talking about because it feels like the book is talking to you. In order to find out if it is 1st or not is to look for words like I or he. This is a key to tell what point of of view it is told by. The book The Wave tells about how these surfers live and do things around the ocean.

When one of the surfers wipes out and blames it on one of the other surkers for his mishaps It definitely shaows the readers that he is tempermental and selfish for his own doing. I would never act that way and blame someone else for a bad day of an activity. So that character reveals who he really is inside.

In my book an inference of mine that will happen next is an accident will happen to one of the several surfers because many of them have been doing great tricks and mabe there luck will end and some incidents with sharks could occur.

The summary of my book so far is how mother nature has taken it's toll on the ocean waves and the massive tides that have been very dangerous to many surfers. So many of the people are glad the weather has gotten better and they are ready to get back on the water and go have a nice time surfing. I like this book a lot and I think it has a very good setting.

In this book the theme would be to never give up and keep on trying until you succeed. This is because of the bad conditions on the ocean and the determination you need to ride a big wave. This relates to me because in all of the sports I play I never give up because of the determination and respect for my team. So this book is good for me and others who have the try hard at everything mentality.

The point of view in my book the wave is first person. It shows the reactions of the surfers really well because it shows the reactions and the thoughts and ideas of the riders. I thinks this book helps the reader feel with the characters what they are going through. So I think this book would be completly different in showing the reactions and feelings of the characters because it is not a first person encounter.

The book I am reading now is very different from my past book. The plot in this book is about a ship in the ocean that have tough rides and voyages out to spots to catch fish to support their family's. The last book I had was about sports and the plot was about LeBron's life in basketball and all the press he gets because of his great talent in the game of basketball. They are different because I like many subjects.

Griffin is on page 240 of 256 of King James: Believe the Hype―The LeBron James Story
In my book the author used a couple of examples to evoke the tone or mood in the story. He said that most opposing fans screamed harsh tings like you suck and go home. This told him he needed to play extra hard a shut all of them up with a great performance and a win on the crowds home court. So this showed the mood to be quite revealing of LeBron's attitude.

The theme of my book now relates to my last one because they both were about a phenomenon that everyone new as one of the greatest players around. LeBron and Tiger Woods were highly regarded out of high school and in their profession. When people think of Basketball they think of LeBron, but when people think of golf they think of tiger. They are both great players and have similar books about their lives.

The protagonist in this book is obviously LeBron James. All of the other teams and their supporters are his Antagonist. They both show a love for basketball and always want to win. LeBron always has respect for the other team and their players, but usually seams to crush the them by about 20 or more every game. Only once in 2002 they lost on his 17th birthday.

The point of view in my book tells the actions of the characters well and makes the readers know what kind of actions the characters are showing and it makes the book a fun to read because you know what the characters are doing and thinking. LeBron is a person with many faces good or bad and when they are talking money those faces are usually pretty good.

During my book LeBron had a decision to make on which shoe endorsement he would pick.Nike, Adidas, or Reebok. After long consideration on which one he would pick he decided to choose Nike. If he did not pick that he would not have as many things to do with Nike and would be totally different in his image.

A word from this new book King James believes the Hype is a misunderstood amount of confidence called being cocky. Cocky is being a little to confident and speaks about it a lot. Another one might get some people mixed up is prodigy. A prodigy is someone with a great talent. Usually at a young age it is shown. I think my author Ryan jones chose these words because they are interesting words that describe LeBron.

Griffin is finished with Tales from the Cleveland Cavaliers: The Rookie Season of Lebron James
The book about Lebron James is such a great book. If you love basketball like i do you will absolutly love it. LeBron is followed closely by a freelance writer that have followed not only LeBron, but all Cavs. He shows all of the things or top of his 2002-2003 season. He shows what one great player can do to a not so good team. I hope a guy like this would write a book about me someday to.

The theme of the book is to dream big and try to achieve your goal. LeBron games was born in not such a good area as a kid and had the dream of going to the NBA. He worked hard as a kid and was a highly recruted basketball player from high school and got drafted by the CAVS as a first round draft pick. LeBron is a great roll model for kids because he felt that he could do it and he did.

In my book the obvious main character or protagonist is LeBron James. All he tries to do is be patient in his offense and facilitate the ball. He celebrates his 19th birthday having a basketball game in the summer league. There is a usuall 200 people croud in past years but now that lebron was there,... 20,000 people! What really was the point is that lebron is dedicated and is a very hard worker.

Suspense is the methods used by the author to maintain the readers interest. In my book the suspense happens in almost every page. Whether or not the Cavs will win or won't with Lebron. He is an up rising star and proves it against the Veterans Kobe and Shaq.

The Cleveland Cavaliers book about LeBron James is a very well written piece of following the star of Cleveland and informing. The book tells about the actions of the fans and the commentating of LeBron. The nice part is it gives the pictures of LeBron in press conferences and playing on the court. It is a good piece of information and I hope everyone else reads it like me.

The definition in my mind of foreshadowing are the events that are kept untold untill later in the book. In my book the foreshadowing events is when Lebron James came out of high school at Saint Vincent Saint Mary`s he was the top draft pick of the 2003 2004 season. I thoght that right from the beginning Lebron was going to be a super star just from all of the hype, and i was not mistaken

In the book Tales from the Cleveland Cavaliers about Lebron James the point of view is 1st person narrative. The line that proves that is from the Akron Beacon Journal saying " In the NBA, generally you have to be really bad before you get really good

Bob couldn't understand how a man could give up the rest of his season for a chance to play the US Open. Tiger Woods chose to end his year with one great week of golf. In the end, he won and Bob Smiley caught his antagonist who became his protagonist. Tiger willed his body to get through the week of pain to become the Champion of the US Open. Nobody knew the terrible pain he was in except for Tiger.

Bob is no class all the way. He gets to the different countries on free millage miles and the kindness of others. Bob arrives early and watches Tiger's every move, Tiger never even gives Bob a look or a tip of his cap almost through the entire book. Bob chases his antagonist and realized the golf coarse and Tiger's own body was the real antagonist. Tiger's body had two stress fractures and a torn ACL.

In his travels from San Diego to Dubai. He talks about meeting the a batch of strangers that end up becoming friends of Bob Smiley. The best part is also seeing how focused a person needs to be in order to be the best at what they do. During the tournament in Florida at the Doral Tiger's bogey on the 7th hole pushed him to get three birdies in a row. That's when you score one less than par of the hole you are playing

The thing about this book is not just about the golf, which is amazing, but about the life of a fan watching a fantastic golfer struggle through a season with a bad leg and a perfect shot every time he needs one. He (Bob Smiley) talks about his family and his dream to complete his mission to watch Tiger on every hole at every tournament. The author is funny with the different people he meets along the way.

Tiger did not exactly blow through Torre Pines that week but he did win. The story goes hour by hour and follows each swing Tiger makes. The fun part of the book is when Bob Smiley goes to the dermatologist in an RV at the Buick Open. He has skin issues and needs to get check and they have free clinics like that at tournaments. My dad and I go the the Firestone in Akron every year and have had a check up like Bob.
