It had meant the loss of a testicle to a sophomore player when no one bothered to thoroughly examine him during an away game" (43) 19poonb https://padlet.com/19poonb/hsbfg9ykkry0/wish/216385663 When reading this, I was absolutely shocked that this happened. I can't imagine the type of adult or coaching staff that would allow this to happen to one of their players. On the other hand, this demonstrates how hard core Texas High School football is. These coaches are will to sacrifice one of their players to stay focused on the game, almost as if they are moving chess pieces, not teenagers. ]]> 2017-12-15 06:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/19poonb/hsbfg9ykkry0/wish/216385663 Vocabulary Term: Motorcade 19poonb https://padlet.com/19poonb/hsbfg9ykkry0/wish/216385681 "The caravan made its way to Ratliff Stadium like a presidential motorcade" (10).

In Minnesota, it was the swoosh of skates on the ice. In Texas, it was like weekly event simply known as Friday Night" (35). 19poonb https://padlet.com/19poonb/hsbfg9ykkry0/wish/216385709 As a sports fan, it is common knowledge to know that certain states have specific affiliations to their sports. I think the author's main purpose in including this quote is to enforce to the reader juts how important football is in Texas. This quote was placed when the author was talking about the townspeople, the reason it's so important in Texas is the ton centers their focus around each respective team.]]> 2017-12-15 06:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/19poonb/hsbfg9ykkry0/wish/216385709 Vocabulary Term: Frivolity 19poonb https://padlet.com/19poonb/hsbfg9ykkry0/wish/216385741 "It was hard not to get caught up in the frivolity of those great practical jokers" (27).

When I saw the movie Friday Night Lights, I was intrigued by not only the football aspect, but how the town rallied around the team. As soon as I realized there was a book for the story, I knew it was something I wanted to read. Although I already know the story and the outcome of their games, seeing the differences between the movie and text while also looking for rhetorical device is something that is interesting. ]]> 2017-12-16 04:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/19poonb/hsbfg9ykkry0/wish/216654393
