I read Through my eyes by Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow wrote this book about his early ages in life and his college football career. Throughout the book he showed us and explained to us how with god you can do anything. In Tim’s early ages he was very competitive with his brothers, even though his brothers were far older than him, and competing with them day in and day out that’s what I made him feel so good once he got into high school and college. During Timothy’s mother's pregnancy with him, it wasn’t very good. The doctor said he might not survive, and she might not either. But because of his mother trust in God, she went on to have him and showed great trust in the lord, and they both came out alive.

After his parents died, he went to a group house/adoption center. Then a lady named Miss Edna adopted Lonnie. Miss Edna lives in a small home, but it is big enough to raise Lonnie. For Lonnie, the most common real-life issue found is getting over the parent's death and getting used to foster parents. I chose these because in Locomotion, Lonnie's parents died when Lonnie was just six years old and after 6 years Lonnie still hasn't moved on from her parent's death.
Tim Tebow wanted to forgive the pitcher for hitting him. Tim Tebow said “The Bible teaches that if your brother has something against you, drop everything and go restore the relationship.

This made me rethink how I look at my life because this story of a triumphant young boy showed me that you can do whatever you want to no matter how much people doubt you. I like the way the author has written this heart wrenching yet
As he went to sleep he thought, “ I must feed myself and Stew Cat; I must rebuild the hut and build another signal fire down on east beach; then I must spend each day listening for the sound of aircraft (Taylor 114).” He was sorting out what all he had to do in order to stay alive. He developed the trait of maturity from this. He had to be mature to make all these decisions and move on from Timothy’s death in order for him to stay
The Eighty Yard Run by Irwin Shaw is about two main characters, Christian Darling who it a college running back who plays at Midwestern University and his girlfriend Louise Tucker, who also goes to the same college. This short story starts with a description of a run that was made during a practice but he is recreating it in his mind to make it seem like it was in a game. He is recreating the entire play 15 years later while sitting on the same practice field that it had originally happened. In this story Christian wants to go back to time where everything was a simple as just playing football, being with his girlfriend, and going to school.
