He grew up in Brazil in a poor community, and played soccer with tied up socks from surrounding neighbors. His community grew up watching the Brazilian soccer team play soccer ad they were impacted during the world cup. Pele wanted to become an icon to kids and they looked up to him. He wanted to help the poor and to become a soccer legend and that was achieved.]]> 2019-02-15 16:19:17 UTC https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/331796314 frankbra002 https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/334207062 If I were to cast the main person in a movie I would pick Pele himself because the book is all about him and his life and he would be able to play the role of himself perfectly.]]> 2019-02-22 16:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/334207062 frankbra002 https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/351193700 The primary conflict of this book is Pele always getting into fights or trouble and getting hurt. I think this will be solved when he gets onto a pro-am team and he can't get in trouble anymore but the injuries will always be the problem because that's part of soccer.]]> 2019-04-12 15:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/351193700 frankbra002 https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/363798589 My book is called "Pele: Why Soccer Matters" by Pele and Brian Winter. This book is about Pele and his journey to becoming one of the best soccer players in the world. This book also goes through his life when he is not playing soccer. The most interesting thing in this book so far is all of the hard work that he has put into soccer and how much he plays just so he can become the best soccer player in the world. I picked this book because I wanted to know more about Pele and also because I like soccer.]]> 2019-05-27 17:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/363798589 frankbra002 https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/363799502 In my book so far there has been a lot that has happened. The first thing that happened in this book was Pele's child hood and how he was always playing soccer in his small neighborhood with his friends. After his child hood Pele started to train to become one of the best soccer players of all time. All of the hard work and training started to pay off when he started to play for an armature soccer club. Pele began to gain a ton of attention from that one club so he then got an offer to play for the Brazilian National soccer team and he was thrilled. He wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps to become a Brazilian legend but injuries started to play a role and he doubted that could happen. Pele didn't let the injuries stop him because he played through most of them and then led the Brazilian National team to a World Cup victory in 1958. ]]> 2019-05-27 17:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/363799502 frankbra002 https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/363802014 For the early parts of this book, almost everything was set in Três Corações, Brazil. Personally I would not like to live there because it is a very small city but it is also very warm all of the time and it is not a wealthy city. Eventually Pele joined the New York Cosmos and lived in New York, and I would live in New York because it is big and there is so much that you can do there.]]> 2019-05-27 17:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/363802014 frankbra002 https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/363802595 I think that there could be 2 themes in this book. One of the themes could be that hard work will pay off and get you to places that you have always dreamed of being or things that you have dreamed of accomplishing. The second theme could be that no matter where you come from, you can make a huge impact on the world and become one of the best.]]> 2019-05-27 18:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/363802595 frankbra002 https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/363803224 I would recommend this book to people that like sports and the history of sports. It is a pretty easy read for high school and above. ]]> 2019-05-27 18:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/frankbra002/a1x2nvue09pl/wish/363803224
