A lesson I have learned from my book is that you should be open to listening to what others have to say instead of just ignoring them. Arlo's brother Lloyd likes to ignore what his parents say, which has led him down the wrong path in life. The same thing happened with Arlo except with the hits he is taking as he ignores his mother's warning to be careful while playing. This has led to him taking many hits adding up.

"Like a bull sea ion hobbling off the rocks and back into the ocean where he was a force". This simile adds a comparison to the story as Arlo grinds in the gym and runs when he is tired to work toward the beginning of the football season again.

Arlo is trying to lock into lifting again once he has another disagreement with his girlfriend about having to potentially step away from football. Arlo has taken one too many hits in football and has to take a break while his head recovers. He has been taking it badly and now has to prioritize his health over living his dream and playing football.

The hits are adding up,
they are getting to his head.
Arlo needs to quit
and enjoy his life instead.

Foolish, blowout, risking, hurt, and pain are the five words that give off a sort of important tone. Arlo used this word and he tends to shrug off the pain and hurt he is feeling even though there is a big risk in playing football. The hits are adding up and he seems to shrug them off, which is why these words are important. Instead, the words I would use would give off a more serious and meaningful tone.

Arlo has been trying his best for the past week to make sure he does not get on anyone else's bad side. At the moment, Arlo's mom, girlfriend, and his best friend are all mad at him. I am interested in what Arlo will do to make up to them.

Currently in my book, Arlo and his girlfriend Sandy are going through an argument. It got ten times worse when Arlo grabbed Sandy's arm because he was mad and she has not answered his texts or calls since. Arlo then went to her house while calling her a bunch and she said her dad had threatened to call the cops. Things are not looking too good for Arlo and I suspect this will start to affect his play in football.

I would compare my character Arlo to spaghetti or a sloppy joe because they are both as messy as Arlo's life is right now. He is going through an argument with his girlfriend and his mom at the moment, and life just seems like a big mess right now.

I think my protagonist could relate to the When People Ask Me How I'm Doing poem because he may feel that he has to mask his feelings from other people. For example, Arlo likes to always say he is alright whenever he takes a big hit in football, however, he is not really alright and these hits are taking a toll on him. So he relates to having to hide how he is really feeling to keep things to himself.
