Football Brothers

Author's Note: This essay was about theme "determination and hard work" the book I did it on was Football Hero by Tim Green  and how Ty changed his life and his brothers.

Ty is the main character in Football Hero after his parents death he had to move in with his Uncle Gus his uncle always told Ty that he had no time for sports. In the book, Ty goes through some struggles like his parents death and moving schools then living with his uncle. When Ty goes to school he tries out for the football team and he makes the team but when he showed up in the locker room everyone made fun of him because he cleans toilets for his uncles business. One day when Ty's brother Thane came to visit, he gave Ty some tips on how to be better in football and stay in school after football practice. The next day Ty and Thane go and practice football he taught Ty how to shed blocks and block. After Thane and Ty did that practice he took Ty back home and wished him goodnight. 

You know that you have to have good grades to play sports and you always have to work extra hard so you can graduate from college. You will always have to work for it like how Ty kept practicing and getting better at football. When Ty got in the gambling game with his uncle and his uncle's boss he had to keep a secret from his brother because he thought his brother would be mad at Ty because he was using him for fantasy football to find out all the injuries. Once Thane found out about Ty getting involved with the gambling Thane was very mad at Ty, when Ty told him the truth they had to go talk to the police about the gambling and how they can take down Lucy Ty's uncles boss.When Ty got in trouble he could of ruined Thanes career because of his uncle, if Ty never got in to the gambling he could of just kept going on with his life and just kept going to football. Just like a NFL running back Reggie Bush he got stripped of his Heisman trophy because he sold his college football jersey when he was in college and there's a rule in college football that you cant do that so the NCAA took the Heisman trophy away from him.You know that you have to have good grades to play sports and you always have to work extra hard so you can graduate from college. You will always have to work for it like how Ty kept practicing and getting better at football.
