Keeping Score Reading Log
*Summary:
The book, Keeping Score, was written by Linda Sue Park, and is about a young girl who meets someone she connects well with through the love of baseball. His name is Jim and he teaches how to score, and even though they are fans of two different teams they make it work. The war that was going on at the time Jim had been drafted into. Jim and Maggie’s relationship changed, but they still wrote about baseball and they both new almost everything about their teams. When Jim returned for the Korean war he was in need of help. Maggie did not understand the war a whole lot or know exactly what had been going on. Since he had not recovered from the war, so Maggie did everything in …show more content…
Maggie has many nicknames such as Mags, Maggie-O, and her mom calls her by her full name, Margaret Olivia Fortini, when she is not very happy with Maggie. Maggie is a huge Brooklyn Dodgers fan! She knows almost everything there's to know about baseball. Maggie is super sweet and does her best to help. Jim Maine is another main character. He is a true Giants fan and works with Maggie’s dad.. Jim Maine ends up being drafted into the military to serve in the Korean War.. Maggie and Jim connected well through their love and knowledge of baseball.
*Minor Character: One minor character in the book, I feel would be her dad. From my understanding of the novel, Keeping Score, he was the person that introduced her to baseball. He is a fireman, and Maggie sits at the firestation a lot. While she is she there she listens to all the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball games. This is the reason Maggies is a die-hard Brooklyn Dodgers fan! I feel he is a minor character ,because I don't think he shows up a lot. Without her dad introducing her to baseball Maggie and Jim would not have connected so well and became as close.
