Friday Night Lights, by H.G. Bissinger, follows the Permian Panthers, a successful high school football team in Texas, while they do everything in their power to win the state championship. Near the beginning of the book, we learn about the star running back on the Panthers, Boobie Miles, and how he has college coaches all over the state who are offering him scholarships to come and play for them. Unfortunately for both Boobie and Permian, Miles injures his knee before the season even starts which forces the team to fall back on the second string running back. Boobie’s knee injury was not the only thing that bothered him, he deals with a lot of racial discrimination also. “The black population in Odessa was quite small- about 5 percent” (102).

Have you ever thought of yourself as a person who has the guts to do anything, but in reality when it comes time to actually do something you back out of it? In the book Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand Louis “Louie” Zamperini had partaken in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany.

Being a Fan Staring on pictures, late sleep at night, daydreaming. These are just some of the things a fan girl does but what really makes a person a "fan"? If we look inside a dictionary, According to Merriam Webster’s Dictionary, A fan is a person who is enthusiastically devoted to something or somebody, such as a band, a sports team, a genre, a book or an entertainer but if you ask me what makes a person a fan is.
