Characters

 

                The story that I will be analyzing the characters in would be my summer reading novel which would be, One Shot at Forever.   The main character would be the coach of the team. I would say that he is more of a dynamic character mainly because in the beginning he is a man who knows nothing about the game of baseball other than that they play nine innings and each team gets three out per inning. When he gets a call from a small high school that is in a teeny-tiny town that they want him to be they're school's baseball coach, the first thing he thinks is "Where exactly is that?" I feel that he is the whole reason that the plot develops and the theme, which would be "Hope is just a small thing and when one embraces that they have it, they can run away with it and do something great", carries out throughout the entire story keeping the reader on edge about what will the team think of a new coach in a new town? Once he figures out from the team strategies and more information about baseball, how it works, and where to put certain player in the field as well as in the batting order, he ends up being one of the best coaches that Macon, Illinois has ever seen. The coach specifically develops the plot and theme because given the fact that he didn't know anything about the game, the story would not have been nearly as exciting. He starts to connect with the players on his team and develops the plot by showing greater connections between each separate character in the story. 

 

                 This is a very exhilarating book and I think that a plethora of people would enjoy reading it. If you want to read a more in depth look at the whole book, you can click here for a good summary or you can click here for a very, very brief summary that would most likely be something that would appear on the back of the book.
