Football Genius by, Tim Green is about a boy named Troy White who has the ability to predict football plays before they actually happen. He is the defensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons yet he can not figure out a way to make the starting lineup for his football team, the Tigers. In this response I will be talking about a topic I learned from 7th grade ELA. It's called meaningful lines. I think meaningful lines help craft a better understanding of the book. meaningful lines. Meaningful lines help make a part of the story more descriptive and makes the reader think more about the book. Meaningful lines turn little things into a big part of the story. Meaningful lines can also show what a characters feeling or actions. Meaningful lines also are keep points in the story.
One meaningful line(s) in my story is, "Mr. Langan said 'You're fired.' Krocks mouth dropped. He looked at Seth, then the owner, before stabbing his finger at Troy." This meaningful line(s) shows that Krock one of the meanest and fiercest people in the Atlanta Falcons organization and defensive coordinator was furious. the way he look at Seth and Troy shows that he knew that they were the cause of him getting fired. Another meaningful line(s) is, "Krock clenched his fists and took a step toward Troy... 'Don't even think about it'... 'I'll tear your eyes out' His mother stepped between him and the coach, her chin up high. Another meaningful line(s) is, "Krock stormed out of the bench area. A reporter came up to him with a microphone. Krock grabbed the man by his shirt and shoved him back into his cameraman, knocking him to the turf." This tells me that Krock is not afraid to be physical.
This made me think deeper about books and how meaningful lines can affect how a scene is read. Meaningful lines show a characters reactions, and how they deal with certain occasions. Meaningful lines can affect a story in a big way. Meaningful lines describe a moment in a very descriptive way. It can also show how a character feels.
