The Big Fields Theme

My theme piece is on the story, The Big Field, by Mike Lupica. The Story is about a  boy named Hutch who wants to make it all the way to the championship for his baseball team. He needs a lot of determination to help him get there. The theme determination fits well with this story because, all everybody is trying to do is, get to the championship game and, actually winning it.

            A quote that Mr. Cullen said, the coach, was, “We all need a lot of hard work, and determination out of us to even think about winning this game to get to the champs.” Which I think is exactly true. Everyone needs to try their hardest to even win one game, not just the best people try but, the whole team does because, you can’t win with just one or two people on your team.  They then later end up winning the Championship game.

            This story has the same theme as most of Mike Lupicas other book like, Heat, Travel Team, and Underdogs, all try to meet one goal, to win. Winning just doesn’t need determination, it needs hard work, motivation, believing, and communication, which are all very important.

            Another story that focuses on determination is The Hunger Games when, everyone tries their hardest to survive from the other people in their districts, which also need hard work, and dedication. You are determined to survive and win the hunger games.

            In conclusion, everyone needs determination; it makes you succeed in the goal you are trying to reach.
