Doug Flutie is a former QB at Boston College who then got drafted into the NFL.

Instead of doing it all smooth and nice, he flat out just said it. He is doing this because he wants to get the situation over with and get it out of the way. He is also doing this because he wants to tell Ben that he is doing this not because Ben isn't built like a QB or that he is the coaches son.]]> 2017-02-23 15:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/155772864 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/155775114 Something that I predict in my story is that Shawn will get injuried or just not be having a good game which would make Coach O'Brien put in Ben at QB which would be able for Ben to show off his QB skills to all the coaches. I predict this because Ben would still be working on his QB skills and still be working towards that starting spot. Also, in books like these there are usually "Cinderlla" stories/moments. ]]> 2017-02-23 15:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/155775114 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/157882279 Something that I predict in my story is that Coach O'Brien would start Ben over Shawn based on there performances at practice. As of now, Shawn hasn't been living up to his QB positon as Ben was during the tryouts and the practices. Plus, the playoffs are coming up so needing a strong leader like Ben at QB would be helpful to the team. ]]> 2017-03-05 21:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/157882279 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/157896957 An again and again in the story is Lily giving advice to Ben. This is happening again and again because the author, Mike Lupica wants to show how Lily affects Ben and the way Ben plays. Maybe there could be a certain time later in the story when Ben remembers Lily's advice that will impact his play great-fully.]]> 2017-03-06 00:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/157896957 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/157908656 Something I agree with a chacter is doing is how Ben is practicing more with his friends and his dad as a QB. Ben has been a little rusty at QB as this season he has been play g positions such as RB. With the practice, Ben will be able to bounce back into his QB self.]]> 2017-03-06 02:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/157908656 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/158362955 Something that confuses me in my story is why Shawn isn't saying sorry to Ben because of the dropped pass. The two have been friends for a while now and just because Shawn dropped 1 pass during the game, the two aren't speaking to each other. This could also be considered a Contrast and Contradiction because this is unusual for these characters.]]> 2017-03-07 15:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/158362955 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/158688571 In my story, the conflict was solved by having Ben play quater back at the end of the season because Ben never gave up hope of becoming a QB. Ben never stopped working towards becoming the QB even when Shawn was but since Shawn is injured, he was able to become QB.]]> 2017-03-08 15:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/158688571 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/159533113 A life lesson I learned from reading Game Changers was to never give up when things don't go your way. In the begging, Ben wasn't able to get the starting QB position but Ben never gave up and eventually was able to get the spot. This could help me because as a baseball player, things may not go your way but you always have to work hard and someday it will pay off. ]]> 2017-03-12 21:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/159533113 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/162631044 Something the author did good in this book was the use of similes and comparing things in the story to other things. Mike Lupica has experniced a lot of things like this book has so he is able to compare the things to other things in the world. It also helped me understand what is going on in the book and helps make create a clear vision in my head. ]]> 2017-03-26 15:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/162631044 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/162631278 Another thing I liked from the author is how he made the sequnce of events. I liked the idea of the cinderella story and was able to show how Ben's hard work payed off in the end. Overall, this book had a good sequence of events.]]> 2017-03-26 15:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/162631278 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/162631397 Something shocking that happened during this book was when Ben won the game with the "Doug Flutie" style play. I did not expect Ben to be able to throw the ball about 50 yards for the win. I also did not expect Ben to still be able to run around and be able to throw the ball]]> 2017-03-26 15:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/162631397 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/162633316 Something New in the story is when Lily is giving advice to Ben. Lily is pretty much an analyst for Ben as she realizes all the mistakes. Ben can take this advice for the future so that he can be a better QB.

Ben is always determined to get something done. He is determined to get the starting QB for his team. This shows that Ben will not give up on becoming better than Shawn.]]> 2017-03-26 16:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/162634059 22bkaryczak https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/162634350 Something I'm confused on in this book is why isn't the coach watching Ben at QB. The job at the tryouts is to watch the players and to evaluate them which is what the coach isn't doing. This caused the coach to miss Ben at his good position. ]]> 2017-03-26 16:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/22bkaryczak/aeuvbifkg7eb/wish/162634350
