At the beginning of the story Danny kept to himself a little and was not that talkative with his father and only really talked to his dad about basketball.

3 important events that affected my character early on were...

1)Not making the Vikings made his father later in the story create a team with Danny on it and they ended up winning the championship.

2)When Tess told Danny to call her they started talking more after that and ended up in a relationship.

3)When Danny’s dad came back, the new team his dad made one the championship (With Danny on it) and Danny grew a better relationship with his dad and opened up to each other a lot more.

An important symbol from the first half of the book and what it means is when Danny tried to hit Teddy to get back at him he accidentally ended up hurting Ty as well and I think this shows how two wrongs don’t make a right and how trying to get revenge could end up doing more than you know, and not just to your enemies.

A quote that my character said at the first half of the book and why it shows who they are as a person is “I finally got bored.”

This shows how Danny was out doing his favorite thing, practicing and practicing to get so good that he was starting to lose interest and how he will persist till he is on top.

A turning point event that changed my character was, Danny always thought negative thoughts about his team about how bad they were, until they won their first game and Danny started to get more confident and have more faith in his team.

Three important events that affected my character at the end are...

1)When Danny;s dad got in a car crash Danny’s team didn’t have anyone to coach them, but the team already went so far and Danny knew he couldn’t give up on them and took up a whole new level of responsibility by coaching his team.

2) When Danny was going to make the game winning shot against Hanesboro the ball just barely bounced off the rim and didn’t go in and after that Danny kept practicing and practicing that same shot to never let down his team again.

3) When Danny’s dad unexpectedly came to the tournament game Danny felt the need to win even more and when he did win Danny and his dad had a much stronger relationship and bondage after the journey with him and his team.

An important symbol at the end was when Danny’s dad got in a second car crash and Danny started to play harder and harder to make his dad happy and eventually won the tournament which shows how no matter how hard or how many times you get knocked down you have to prove yourself and you will come out on top.

A quote my character said at the last half of the end was

“Hey, we had enough practice losing. Now we gotta act like we know how to win.”

This shows that Danny will persist and will do anything he can to get his team to the top.
