#LILLARD TIME- make connection

As I read an article about Damian Lillard who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, I felt that I could connect to some of the things he had to go through before becoming a NBA star. In high school he was looked over and underrated. He didn't get as much playing time that he thought he deserved. ''St. Joseph Notre give a 10th grade Dame decent playing time.'' I could connect to this because I play basketball for my high school and I feel that I deserved more playing time, I also felt underrated because of my height, just as Lillard did

Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass-Author purpose

He wrote this book to inform everyone about slavery. To let everyone know what slaves had to endure during these infernal times. Because some people during this time thought slavery wasn't that bad because they were always sing chants. Those chants were rapturous chants and from depression. Douglass wrote this book to the white men that would probably have the sense to listen to what he had to say.

Maximum Ride-describe/relate to characters

My favorite character in this book is Max, she sarcastic, loving, and caring. What I like about her being sarcastic is she can do that but still admit to things. Shes loving and caring because she has to raise four kids by herself before turning 15 and that can be tough for anyone. When reading this I can relate to her because I can be very sarcastic at times but still get my point across.
