Week 5 post A

Vocab
Naysayers(241)- a person who habitually expresses negative or pessimistic views
Retrospect(238)- To look back and contemplate retrospectively

Appeals
"We went 12-4 and won the AFC South Division for the second straight year."(238) - This is a logical appeal because it shows a record which is a statistic or fact so its a logical appeal.

"For the fourth year in a row, we started the season 3-4."(187)- This is a logical appeal because it is a statistic that shows how they started there season.

"But this game, I was focused on the anthem itself- the words, the music, the meaning- as much as the game"(190)- This is an emotional appeal because the song symbolizes more then just a song to Tony for this game, (since the game was right after september 11).

Quote
"Tony, sit tight. I'm going to find a flight. i'll be in Indy tonight." - this is a very important quote because it shows that Tony was going through soo much during this time, with the death of his mother and now his son james, and its good that he has such good friends that are willing to just fly to him on christmas when a thing like this happened, instead of just like calling him.

Theme
The theme in these chapters to me seem as if it was that you need to stick with God even through the roughest times, because its all apart of his plan.
