The Crossover book review

The Crossover by Kwame Alexander is an amazing book. The book talks about a boy named Josh Bell who plays basketball and has a twin brother who also plays ball. His dad used to play ball and now he doesn’t because medical reason. Through out the story it talks about how a new girl comes to school and Filthy (Josh) likes her but so does his brother. They start getting into fights and as the basketball championship come along there dad gets worst. They start getting distracted from basketball and everything around them starts to slow down.

In the book I noticed some signpost their coach told Filthy, “You can get used to things going well, but you’re never prepared for something going wrong.” This means that if you’re just used to things going good then the wrong things are going to hit you like a wreaking ball. Filthy Dad told him “Boys, your talent will help you win games, but your intelligence, that will help you win life.” What I thought the quote meant was focus on school because on day you can get hurt and you will not be able to play and school can always be the back up plan.                                        

A quote and how it shows me

I am a quiet person to a lot of people and they think just because I'm quiet I'm shy. I'm a quiet  person but I talk when needed. I am not a shy person,  I'm the opposite of shy. My brain is over flowing with thoughts and ideas. This quote shows so much about me and who I am as a person. I have so much ideas that I want to do and change the wrong things that are happening in this world. But it's not about the credit you get but the thing you did to change that problem. This is true to me because people that just say there going to do something but don't do it are "weak." When you act and keep quiet, you're not only helping someone/something out but your showing others that it's not about the credit but the act.

10 years from now . . .

   In 10 years how do I see my self? The future is bright but you make it bright by when you plan it out. What I see my self is traveling the world and being either a therapist or a physician. I will be living downtown with my friend. I will also be having a beach house were I can chill over my break. I am going to have a lot of money. I want to accomplish donating money to a charity and help people around the world who needs it. I want to volunteer and help a nonprofit organization and build houses for orphaned children in Mexico, South America and all over the world. These are some of my plans and goals I want to accomplish in ten years.

Win or lose . . . .

One day after school I was so terrified and nervous knowing the next day was the basketball championship. When I got home I got changed and went outside to practice my plays and my shooting. As I was practicing I was scared felt I was doing everything wrong. My stomach started to hurt as if someone was squeezing me. My heart was beating faster and faster. The week of the championships was so shocking for me, I was afraid we were going to lose. My mom came outside and told me to believe in myself and my teammate it's going to be fine just try your hardest. My mom encouraged me and I was excited to see what will happen at the game.


  Basketball championship Day.

   When it was about time for the game we were changing into our uniform. For some reason my stomach started to ache. My heart was beating fast and my breathing was becoming  deeper and deeper. When getting on the bus I was thinking of all the plays and all the other things we were going to do. So then I was thinking that there is going to be people there and  that's when I became more fearful and nervous of what's was to come. But by the time I realized we were there. Taking the steps out of the bus and into the gym full of nervousness. As I waited for the referee to blowed the whistle and 3 minutes later he did. I was one of the first played girls. As we were going to the center of the court my fear and nervousness started to go away slowly and slowly. When we were playing in quarter 1 we were winning and they scored so we were pretty close. The girls were mostly tall and only a few short. By quarter 3 we were tired again and it was about to end when one of my team mates scored a point that when the buzzer rang and we were now entering in quarter 4. When we went for a little discussion, we were all so sweaty and exhausted. During the discussion we watched the other team like eagles watch there prey. My heart started beating faster going into the 4 quarter. As we began to hold the ball the other team had found out what the plan was and was now trying to get the ball. We were upset but not giving up yet the other team had scored and we were challenged to try and get more points. So we got the ball and made it in we were now 2 points ahead than the other team. There was 3 minutes left on the timer when they called us in to sub and plan out what's to come. I was watching the girls from the bench for the last minutes, I kept jumping up and down my seat. When I noticed the timer was a few seconds and when I turned my head  and my teammate scored. Next thing you know ther was 10 seconds left and I was on my feet waiting to see what comes next. The girls noticed from the other team there was only a few seconds left and were trying to score but they couldn't. Then 5...4...3...2...1... beeep! We did it we won. Cheering so loud and screaming out our lungs. I went home full of joy and so lucky and happy we won.
