The Predicting of The Big Field

Author's Note:In this piece we needed to predict whats going to happen in the novel and compare it to other novels and see how are they the same or how they different.

I will be predicting the end of The Big Field by Mick Lupica and I will be comparing it to Football Hero and how that ended and I will be seeing the differences between them and the similarities. In the story The Big Field the main characters are Hutch and Cody and they play in a junior league and they travel around the state for the playoffs and the championship.Hutch and Cody would always watch Yankee games and Hutch's hero of baseball is Derek Jeter and he plays for the Yankees. Hutch's dad use to play baseball and he was going into the MLB but he hurt his shoulder and it ended his season.

In the story Football Hero the main characters are Ty and Thane which is Ty's brother in Football Hero Ty is this nerdy kid who cleans toilets for his uncles job and he also had to moved schools because his mom and dad died in a car crash and he had to move with his uncle so in his new school he gets bullied and really has no friends. Ty and his brother both like football and Ty's brother play in college and he eventually gets into the NFL. I think The Big field is going to end by Hutch and Cody's team will win the championship because they are winning their playoffs games and Football Hero had a good ending because Thane got a good contract deal with New York Jets a pro NFL team and Ty also got to live with Thane like he always wanted to.

I thought this was a good prediction because all the sport Mike Lupica books end with a good ending and also The Big Field could end like that because Cody and Hutch are just like Ty and Thane even though the books were written by different Authors. There are also some clues that this story could end this way and some of the clues are when Hutch and Cody win the second game to get even closer to winning the championship.

The things that are different in these two stories is that ones baseball and ones football the characters are different because Ty was a nerdy kid and Hutch and Cody were just really good friends and were both really good at baseball the themes were also different The Big Field was in the summer in Florida and Football Hero was in the country in Virginia. In The Big Field Hutch and Cody actually had moms and dads and Ty didn't he just had his uncle and his aunt. As I would see it from my point of view that these stories are alot the same but a little different at times I recommend this book to people who like sports because they both show that they you need hard work in sports and always practice to get better
