week 2 post A

Vocab
Accolades(16)- an expression of approval or praise
Innovative(34)- ahead of the times, something new or different introduced.

Appeals
"Thankfully, our running backs stayed hot, the offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage and we dominated Wisconsin with the run, winning 24-3." (32) - This is a logical appeal because it shows a statistic, which shows that they owned the game even though he made a real bad play.

"Tony, is this right? I've talked with your father countless times over the years and spent many a practice with him. He's a doctor?"(13) - This is an emotional appeal because it makes me like the father more, because it shows how humble he is by having Tonys good friend ask him something that he probably would've already known if his father would brag about being a doctor.

"I graduated as fourth all-time in total offense in the Big Ten, a two-time team Most Valuable Player, and captain my senior year."(34) - This is a logical appeal because it states facts about how well he did playing college football.

Quote
"Tony, you enjoy playing football, and these other guys enjoy plaing football. You should have your senior year to play, and so should they. At the end of the day, what are you really upset about, anyway?" (24) -- This is a very important quote in the book, because this quote changed Tonys mind about quiting football. If he would have quited football we probably would'nt even know who Tony Dungy is.

Theme
The theme so far in the book is that hes growing up and learning his lessons and growing from things his parents teach him, hes always stuck to his morals, and all along the way hes stuck with religion.
