Theme
Running Wild
by Steele Beatty
I am in the middle
of the most interesting book in a while, Running Wild. It’s about this amazing
football player that keeps going to jail, Pete. But his coach Wilson has faith
in him. Pete has determination, struggles with staying out of jail, courage and
so does the coach, Pete also has justice and overcoming adversity. I believe
that is the main theme.
Pete has determination
because he wants to play football, but his team mates don’t want him to play
but he keeps getting out of jail and trying more and more every time. Also his
best friend doesn’t like football but Pete really likes it but Jimbo doesn’t.
He has to choose between football and Jimbo but he has determination to get
through these unbreakable times.
The school has
great determination along with him. He chooses to be a football player for
Cartwright High, in more exclusive details he is number 22 and a fullback for
coach Wilson. It all adds up he is strong and very quick. But he is a trouble
maker at school so he might not get to play on the football team. Last year he
got caught smoking on school campus. He missed every class at least 5 times,
some plenty more.
I believe this is the theme because Pete has
friends that believe but he only believes in the friends that believe in him
but he need great determination to go through those friends to play football.
Not only does he just have friends he has coaches and teachers and police man
and most of all his mom.
