How did the death of billy affect Mike?

# data[].attributes.body
My reading went better than last week did, and I took more time to read the book and do the notes.

It's not necessarily a flaw however I feel like the book needs to start off quicker rather then have 3 whole chapters and a little more of just history about the town. It makes the book boring and makes me not want to read.

I read one chapter of the section.

I think it is very slow. It is not very engaging because it tells all of the little details.

How does the death of a parent mean the child needs to grow up faster? They still have the right to have a childhood and not have to take on extra responsibilities.

Why does Billy bring up little leagues and pressure Mike to grow up faster and put so much pressure on him? Doesn´t this make Mike feel like he needs to be the best, and one small mistake tear him down?

This week I actually took the time to do the reading and space it out really good. I only read a chapter a day so it took little to no time at all.

In my section 1 notes I have so many charactars and honestly it is a bit overwhelming to try and remember all of them. I also got background info for every single one of them and just facts about random people I just got introduced to I couldn't care less for.

I would agree with that statemnt but someone needs to fill in that spot for others in the family. They need someone to pick up all those other responsbilities or even a few of them because if they don't it will be given to the other parent that is still alive.

This week went a lot better than last week. I got a lot more reading done and had a lot more free time to read. I would put my phone away to stop myself from distractions while reading.

A flaw that I see in the novel so far is that it is really slow in the beginning and doesn't have a lot of action. In the prologue, there is plenty of action and it got me hooked to the story. When I got to chapters 1-3, I felt a little bored while reading and I was waiting for the action to come. There were also a lot of random characters introduced that will most likely have no meaning later in the book.

I think Billy is trying to do the right thing. He just does not know how to show it. He means the best for Mike but does not know how to get it across.

He was really sad about it but in a way I think it encouraged him to continue playing football in his Dad's honor.

I think the death of a parent means that the child will have to mature quicker than most children, because of the tragic loss. Sudden death like that is a lot for a child to endure, but they shouldn't have to "grow up faster" I think they should be allowed to go through the process of grieving and they should have all the support they need in that process

Why did Don call Comer the "n word"? Don was taken off the field because he was not playing a good game so the coaches decide to take him off and put comer on. He says Permian favors a "n word" like comer even though comer played a really good game and shows the coaches decisions were right. I feel that he was being very emotional at the time and was upset and angry and thats why he said that.

I feel like he only puts so much pressure on him because he knows he can be great at what he does.

I think the first line of the book is incredibly flawed and alienating to readers. There is no specific character mentioned until the word "him," which makes it seem like this is a story that is HAPPENING TO "him," robbing the character of his agency and autonomy. Starting the book by talking about how the town has gone from worshipping "him" to thinking of him as "just another" [racist slur/expletive] could be very alienating to Black and brown readers, and dismisses this person's complexity and individuality before we even know his name.

Why did Coach Gaines lose his temper and yell at Johnny during their game against Marshall?
I feel that it was a mix of being nervous and angry and kind of lost sight that it was just a high school football game.
