Not Just the Words

"Terence wasn't an outspoken person. He was a guy who held in a lot." (pg.99) During these pages we watch Jordin grow, as a person and as a player. The focus of these chapters however was on how his brother Terence had affected his life and what about him made Jordin the man he is today. During these chapters we hit a page turner when we find out that Terence has committed suicide after a typical night out of getting drunk and coming home late. When Jordin finds out that his brother committed suicide. This terrible tragedy that I believe helps Jordin onto the path of being the man he wants to be, better man. This seems to be the event that happens in the book that sticks with you for the rest of all that you read. I think that that feeling is the way Jordin feels throughout his life, that yes, something is missing, but nothing can be done just t live with it and form something good. The biggest thing that I have noticed is that this is not a book that you are just able to read word for word without having thought, you must think and comprehend what is happening, without it being there word for word, you have to feel.
