SLAM

The book that i am reading is called "Slam" by Walter Dean Myers . the book is about a 16 year old high school junior who loves to play basketbal but has an atittude problem.on top of that Gregory better known as Slam might be losing his best friend to the drug world and he also has trouble getting his grades together.

Slam loves to play basketball and thats all he wants to do, play basketball. Still Slam is having difficulty because his new coach doesnt like him and he is also having problems with some of the players on his team. Slam 's life seems to be going through a rough treck because things just5 dont seem to be going his way.

This book is interesting and although i havent finished reading it I think a possible theme might be that things dont always go your way and getting angry wont help but instead you have to try to deal with your problems directly.

  1. Fern this book sounds excellent I would read it when i get the time,I also like the theme because i can relate to this how you came up with this book it is true that things don't always go your way. And getting angry doesn't help one bit it just makes things worst most of the time.
