Great Author's


Author's Note: This essay is going to be about comparing authors Mike Lupica and Tim Green and how their writing is the same and different.

The two authors I'm going to compare is Mike Lupica and Tim Green the two books I'm going to compare by these authors is the Big Field by Tim Green and Football Hero by Mike Lupica the ways I will be comparing them is how the books are the same and how there different. The Big Field is about these two baseball teammates Hutch and Cole try to go to the championship and try to stay as a team as there going through the games hutch gets suspended one game by his coach because he fought with one of his teammates. When its time to play the game Hutch give Cole some advise for him because he's playing his position when Cole goes out on the field and Hutch tells to move towards second so he does and he makes a nice double play. Football Hero is about these brothers Ty and Thane and their parents get killed in a car crash and Ty has to move with his uncle and he also has to go to a different school so he has no friends at first so he gets bullied until he joins the football team and shows all the kids up on the football team.

These authors are the same because they both write a bunch of sports books and both have the same setting but different sports. There also the same because they both have problems and they both get fixed like in the Big field the problem is Hutch getting suspended and them losing one game and they fixed this problem by stopping Hutch getting in fights with his teammates and practicing more to get better. In Football Hero The problem is that Ty gets bullied and has no friends at first but then he signs up for the football team and shows off his speed. I think these problems in both books could be real life experiences because people really get bullied and get called names and people always get in fights with their teammates.

Mike Lupica and Tim Green are different too because Football Hero has a nerdy kid and he gets bullied and that doesn't happen in The Big Field. Then in the Big field there's two teammates that work together and win the baseball championship and it's also different because it tells the story about two people but in the Football Hero it's only telling a story about Ty. Another way these books could be different is that there different sports and have different settings at some times and The Big field doesn't have such a big problem as Football Hero. I think the biggest problem in Football Hero is when Ty's parents die and he has to move with his uncle and Aunt and he also has to go to a new school and the biggest problem in The Big Field is when Hutch gets suspended for a game because he was the teams best player and he also new baseball alot more than his teammates because his dad played baseball but got injured and ended his career. Then when Hutch started baseball Hutch's dad started teaching him how to play and the rules of the game. I think these books are great for people who like sports books and books with some problems in it and i think all of the similarities and differences are real world and can happen to anybody. I personally like these books because I like sports and mystery books and these books are a little like that because you never know whats going to happen next.
